![]() ![]() (A little background on this tweet: Barr believes that the government is operating a mind control experiment - MK Ultra, which was a real CIA experiment conducted in the 1960s - on Hollywood actors, producers, and filmmakers to make them distrustful of Trump and Republicans. A tweet from Roseanne Barr from August 2016. Her internet history from before the 2016 presidential election was a cavalcade of strange events: In 2011, she argued that Goldman Sachs should be executed in 2012, she tweeted about “Jewish mind control” and in 2013, she heavily promoted a concert by an artist with a history of Holocaust denial and then angrily defended him (calling her detractors “fucking morons”).Īnd on her personal blog, she repeatedly stated that Israel was a “Nazi state,” adding, “The Jewish Soul is being tortured in Israel.” But just a few years later, after experiencing an “ awakening” of her own Jewish identity, she started tweeting about “Islamic pedo culture”: A Twitter exchange from Roseanne Barr from September 2013.Īnd after the student government of the University of California Davis campus endorsed the BDS movement, she tweeted that she hoped they’d get “nuked.” A tweet from Roseanne Barr from February 2015.Įven when she became known for her support of Donald Trump’s candidacy, her reasoning for the support wasn’t based on personal conservatism (she previously ran for president in 2012 as part of a far-left fringe political party) but on her belief that Hillary Clinton was corrupt and left-wing candidates like Bernie Sanders spend too much time with the pope, who she told an interviewer “owns almost every dollar in the world.” And her tweets about Clinton and those associated with the former secretary of state were unhinged, to put it mildly (many have since been deleted): A tweet from Roseanne Barr from August 2016. Bush called her performance “disgraceful.” This is, after all, the same woman who performed the national anthem so awfully (on purpose, sort of) that then-President George H.W. Roseanne’s Twitter history, much like her personal history, is complicated. “It was foreseeable that the tweets would cause Robert and Gladys Zimmerman to have to flee their house in the middle of the night and never to be able to return,” the complaint said.īarr originally staked out an unusual position on the Martin case, somewhere in between liberals who wanted to see Zimmerman convicted and conservatives who saw the case as a gun rights issue, but not really in line with either: A tweet from Roseanne Barr from July 2013. ![]() In the lawsuit, Zimmerman’s parents argued that Barr’s tweets put their lives in danger. If Zimmerman isn’t arrested I’ll rt his address again- maybe go 2 his house myself.” She later tweeted, “At first I thought it was good to let ppl know that no one can hide anymore. That was a big change from four years earlier, almost to the day, when Barr was sued in court for tweeting the name and address of the parents of George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin’s killer. seems there’s some demand for an alternate viewpoint. Congrats If you’re not too busy already maybe work in a late night show too. for the high ratings of the rebooted Roseanne: This March, Roseanne Barr was getting congratulated on Twitter by President Trump and Donald Trump Jr. Roseanne’s long and complicated Twitter history There have long been two Roseannes: one the working-class hero of Roseanne who said what needed to be said but always had a heart of gold the other, on Twitter, a raving conspiracy theorist with a political history that stretches from the furthest left to the furthest right. Then she turned around and became a massive supporter of Israel (and a rabid opponent of the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions movement).Īll of this she fired off to her half a million followers on Twitter, many eager to retweet her (including the president’s son). ![]() She called Israel a “Nazi state” in 2009 and promoted a Holocaust-denying musician in 2013. It’s not exactly consistent, either it swings across the political spectrum, unified only by its extremity. Over the years, her language and ideas have weaved through all kinds of dark and bizarre territory. This was not a first offense for Barr on Twitter (or in real life). On Tuesday, her trolling came to a head when ABC canceled her show after she likened Barack Obama’s top adviser Valerie Jarrett (who is black) to an ape - a slur so extreme even Fox News called it racist. In real life and, more noticeably, on Twitter, she’s a conspiracy theory-loving, racist every-troll. But Roseanne Barr is not her character - a quick-witted everymom. For many Americans, Roseanne Barr is “Roseanne,” star of the eponymous sitcom that ran from 1988 to 1997, and again in 2018.
