Title is flawed. It wasn’t racist. They are only inferring it to be racist.

They were just looking for an excuse.

Free Speech has left the station.

That the tweet did anyone harm is ridiculous.

Racist? I thought Jarrett is part Iranian. Iran is a country, not a race.

VJ is the most dangerous person in Politics.
She should have never passed a security clearance.
Take her out and the house of cards will fall

“racist Twiiter rant”?! What race is Valerie Jarrett? I can’t tell. Looks to me like she’s related to Leonard Nimoy.

NO free speech issues here, not! The “free press” fondest desire is to stifle free speech to what they want it to be. What could go wrong?

There are a lot of thin skins out there, unless the barbs are leveled at people on the right.

And boy do they level them against the right.

Pretext.

VJ is a freaky looking space alien.

She’s being treated as worse than Hitler.
VJ is a terrible person and is no doubt actively helping in running the coup against Trump.
I would bet the Obamas have a hand in the speed of this whole thing.

Free speech is ONLY allowed if you are a Commie that is the bottom line, Bill Maher, Kathy Griffin, Michelle Wolf, Jimmy Kimmel, etc etc they are allowed to say the most DISGUSTING things about Conservatives and they get away with it. Keith Olbermann called ALL Trump supporters NAZI’S and ABC just hired him..so there ya go

Just more left-wing censorship they are known for.

Censorship and book-burning are the hallmarks of liberalism.

If Roseanne Barr had said the exact same thing about Ben Carson that she said about Valerie Jarrett, not only would her show still be on the air, it would have been renewed for another two seasons already — and every “woke” “progressive” would be fervently defending her. No question about it.

These “Twitter monitors” are like vultures perched on a limb over an open-air abattoir. They must spend all of their waking hours scanning the tweets of people in the news, just to try and find *something* to bitch about, or to report on the news.

I signed up for Twitter, used it for about a week, and I haven’t been back in weeks. All of the Trump tweets are featured in other stories everyday, anyway, and he’s about the only one I would care to follow on there.

Once you become a celebrity, or, if you ARE a celebrity, STAY THE HELL OFF TWITTER. It will take over your life, and probably ruin you. If you work somewhere, it might get you fired, if you’re applying for a job and have tweeted the wrong thing, you probably won’t get hired.

I guess it would be wise to just stay off social media altogether.

The only program I’ve watched on ABC is “Agents of Shield.” I record all programs, but won’t be recording it next season. I’ll view it another way.

Hard to believe she didn’t know what the reaction would be to joking that a black woman is a descendant of apes.
