(CNN) — Donald Trump was so overjoyed about the high ratings for the premier episode of ABC's reboot of "Roseanne" that he praised the show and its star, Roseanne Barr, twice in the 48 hours after it aired.
First, on Wednesday, he called Barr, who was a vocal Trump supporter in 2016, to share his congratulations. And then, at a rally in Ohio Thursday, Trump again paused to praise the show, telling the audience its high ratings were because the show was "about us." (He did not attribute that success to the anti-Trump character who is also featured prominently.)
The lovefest between Barr and Trump should surprise no one. After all, Trump and Barr have much in common when it comes to spewing bigotry and intolerance. What is surprising is the apparent blind eye turned by the people who have brought us this "rebooted" Roseanne -- a decision that ABC may regret.

To begin: Barr has repeatedly shared inflammatory views about Muslims. One of her retweets equated Islam with Nazism, saying both want "world domination" and the "destruction of all Jews," according to an account last year in the Daily Beast. (Some of the tweets have since been deleted, but screengrabs can be found on several news sites.) Barr has also tweeted about what she calls "Islamic rape pedo culture," and retweeted memes that gin up fear of Muslims.
Like Trump, Barr has also used Twitter to viciously go after those she perceives as enemies, even if the allegations aren't true. For example, Barr tweeted in 2016 that then-Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, who is Muslim and at the time was married to Anthony Weiner, was a "Jew hater," adding, "hillary clinton's handler huma weiner is a filthy nazi whore."

Politics aside, she’s a great comedian. Natural talent (although I’m sure it’s also skill).
She had 21 million watching, how about your CNN? Maybe you should look in the mirror first?
.
Truth and reality are now bigotry and intolerance on CNN.
Who could have known...

Haha. Gotta love her.
I like good Rosie's style. Much better than bad Rosie.
The high ratings could be a fluke caused by curiosity viewers.
The original series ended when it basically ran out of material. Comedy is difficult to produce and stay fresh week after week. It/the characters become stale.
The reboot of Will & Grace got all kind of accolades but has sense dropped in the ratings.
ABC apparently has already given the go-ahead for a second season of the Roseanne reboot.
I would call it more of a historically informed wariness of muzz slimes.
Please don’t call her Rosie. People get her confused with Rosie O’Donnell enough as it is.
It's child abuse.
Yeah, we watched it until the debut of the trans grandchild (10 minutes?). Turned it off and won’t be turning it back on.
Love it. :D
Just one more thing for CNN to lose sleep over. Good, I hope they develop insomnia and stomach ulcers.
She better watch out—The left will target and destroy her one way or another. She might have a “Little Accident” or be forced to include more anti-Trump message. I can see her moving to FOX.
And now CNN, Washing Post, MSNBC, and the rest of the traitorous commie propaganda outlets have her in their crosshairs. They’re searching for any dirt on her they can find.
Please don’t mention Rosie when you mean to say Roseanne
