They have a choice. They can forget the insane political correctness and hire her back. It is more than insane that we now have Democratic political mobs trying to intimidate, hurt and destroy the lives of people and Rosanne is fired for something she said which was totally in character for her as a comedienne.I think the reason has to do with the success of the show when she was on it and it was well known that she is a Trump supporter. Talk about "cutting off your nose to spite your face!"

“ABC Regrets Knee-Jerk Firing Of Controversial Star & Fears Show Will Tank Without Her”
Fire the knee-jerkers would be a start on the road to recovery.

Roseanne probably should haven’t made the tweet, but everything gets so blown out of proportion. Don’t we all put our foot in our mouth from time to time? Her explanation and apology was enough for me. She said it was a joke....that essentially fell flat. She’s not a racists. Come on.....she’s just a colorful woman....always has been.
This era we’re in....where an ill-timed joke....or even something stupid you did 10-15 years ago can destroy your whole career is just evil. I defend people on the left along this same line as well. Kathy Griffiths severed head thing with Donald Trump was stupid and offensive. But, it was ultimately just shtick that didn’t work. She apologized, regrets doing it.... That works for me.
Everyone needs to calm down. We all have political opinions. We all tell jokes that don’t work. We sometimes say over the top sarcastic things that come out more ‘mean-spirited’ than funny. Everyone needs to chill.
I hope they bring back Roseanne.

Far as we're concerned, it already tanked...didn't even bother to look at the first episode to "get a feel" for it.
Are enjoying Last Man Standing and even The Cool Kids (seems almost like they are making light-hearted fun of twinks)...

Die, ABC. Die!
Political correctness can be your downfall.
They screwed with “Last Man Standing”, too, and it’s kicking ass in the ratings on Fox. They sure showed Tim Allen what’s what after he had the nerve to attend Trump’s inauguration, didn’t they?

” whatd Tim Allen do???”
He had the nerve to attend Trump’s inauguration. At least that’s the reason I heard.

“Roseanne was one of the best TV shows in history.”
The first go-round, yes. The reboot was disgusting making it normal for a child to be a transvestite. Super creepy.

They should know better than let principles get in the way of profits. The Conners is going to tank and cost ABC a ton of money.

The lack of loyalty from EVERY SINGLE member of that cast is eye opening and sickening. Really reaffirms my lifelong decision to be a lone wolf.
