'Roseanne' fans call for Bill Maher to be fired after he joked Trump is part orangutan

“Roseanne” fans have called on HBO to fire “Real Time” host Bill Maher in response to the comedian’s jokes that President Trump was part orangutan.

ABC quickly canceled the successful “Roseanne” reboot Tuesday hours after its star, Roseanne Barr, posted a racist tweet about former President Obama’s aide Valerie Jarrett. The tweet said Jarrett, who is African-American and born in Iran, is like the “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.” Barr apologized for the tweet before her show was canceled. The next day, she appeared to blame the prescription pill Ambien for the tweet.

Following ABC's announcement, Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, a right-wing nonprofit group, tweeted, “Wait, Bill Maher makes comparisons to Trump being a gorilla all the time? They get classified as ‘jokes’ by the media and he is of course allowed to keep his show and not have his life ruined. The difference? Bill Maher is a liberal, Roseanne is a free-thinking Trump supporter.”

It doesn’t matter what was....the libs sure don’t care so why should we? They’re song and dance is not going to change so if any are expecting ‘fairness’ in this bloody war they’re dreaming.

We’re beginning to bellyache just like they are. Trumps trying to lift us above that.

Yes they have shame. Why do you think they are so angry all the time? It’s also why they are such control freaks.

Going round and round on this is fruitless so calling it done.
