I saw that Tweet this morning and knew she was in big trouble - not shocking at all. The statement was wrong and can only be condemned. That said, I think ABC was uncomfortable having a show with a pro-Trump person in the first place...even if the ratings were good. I think they didn’t want to legitimize Trump supporters by having one on TV, and this was obviously the perfect time to cancel. They couldn’t otherwise due to ratings and support. Look what they did to Tim Allen’s show, and he’s not even controversial. He stays off of social media and says little.
It’s unfortunate for the cast and crew. I didn’t agree with everything on the show, but it was interesting, and I saw every episode. I’ll miss the show.
I dont care what anybody says, I still think Kim Hunters performance as Dr. Zira was sexy.
Well, I never saw the show (RB’s personality acted or real just doesn’t do anything for me - I much prefer a “Delenn” (from Babylon 5)...)
That said, I agree, Barr’s comment is not “ok”, and wailing that libs use such references, and worse, all the time, doesn’t make it ok.
However, this is still a useful moment, precisely because Barr is so well known, and popular. Now, whenever a lib says something similar, or worse, we can throw it right back in their face. With vigor! This will either thoroughly expose the hypocrisy of the left, OR, the carnage should be something to behold. But that works only if we smack ‘em hard and relentlessly with it at every opportunity, present and past.
Sure there's a double-standard -- that doesn't make what she said any less wrong/stupid.
