Roseanne Barr says she may fight ABC firing, retweets claim Michelle Obama was behind ouster
Fox News ^

Posted on 05/31/2018 10:06:52 AM PDT by bryan999

Roseanne Barr made it clear on Wednesday she's considering fighting ABC's move to cancel her revival after her racist tweet -- and the comic even pushed an accusation that former first lady Michelle Obama was behind her ouster.

Despite initially saying she would be quitting Twitter after posting a negative and racially charged comment about former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, the star returned Tuesday and let loose on social media.

On Wednesday, Barr revealed that the positive feedback she was getting from people who still support her was making her feel emboldened to combat ABC in some way.

“You guys make me feel like fighting back. I will examine all of my options carefully and get back to U,” she wrote.

One right-wing activist even went as far as to accuse ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey of consulting former first lady Michelle Obama before canceling her show. Barr retweeted the unproven claim to her followers.

Roseanne always seems to self destruct when she’s on top (National Anthem as an example). Meanwhile, I don’t doubt for one minute Michelle Obama is not involved. The fingerprints of the Clintons and Obamas are all over this situation.

Odd that I never heard anyone accuse the movie Planet of the Apes as being racist.

Funny, I didn't know apes were black. Interesting?

Other way round.
Jarrett owns Obama.

Way to go Michelle, costing Roseanne’s liberal colleagues millions in salary and residuals. Wonder if all the award show virtue signaling was ordered by the Obamas too.

The original Roseanne was fantastic. Another conservative story was Jackie choosing life for her baby and marrying Fred (even though they divorced later).

I’ll bet the media will confirm Michele’s involvement, I’ mean protect her involvement

Maybe Roseanne is having her “come to Jesus” Moment and has converted to the Conservative cause (as she is Jewish a Come to Moses Moment?). What ever it is—she is welcome to the ranks of the New Trumpocratic Party (The Party of Truth, Justice and the American Way). If she is against the Obama/Clinton Cabal She is on our side! She nay never have a new TV show—But Maybe a New Movie? That’s why we need a conservative Hollywood Studio to make movies for the real people!

“...VJ looks like a(n) alien...”

VJ has a serpent head. You make a great point: i.e., most of us knew she was Iranian but did not know she was “black”.

He’s very funny. He does have sources, though, so I buy this story. Especially since his more liberal co-host agreed with him.

> Rush just mentioned this. <

If Michelle really was involved in a significant way, it’s an outrage. She has no business interfering in an employer-employee dispute.

But her interference would be celebrated by the left. Maybe she’d even get a meaningless Nobel Prize to match the one given to her husband.

Maybe somebody will say they are convinced that Michelle Obama did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when she got the information she got.

Also, the main character apes in the Planet of the Apes were white, not black.

It’s not about racism, it’s about power.

The only thing traditional about the show is the marriage.

Nothing else is traditional, unless you are changing the meaning of the word, which I guess you are - and that was my point.
