Roseanne Barr was sacked for being racist: the 18 funniest tweets
Roseanne Barr, the Trump-supporting star of US sitcom, Roseanne, has had her show cancelled after tweeting a racist description of former White House adviser, Valerie Jarrett.
She later apologised and “left Twitter” before returning to claim medication was responsible and suggesting Michelle Obama had pushed for her to be fired.
Twitter did its thing:

I just think it’s refreshing to see a racist, misogynistic celebrity on a big-ratings TV show actually get the sack rather than go on to become president. #Roseanne

Roseanne just got hundreds of people fired. She really is a Trump supporter.

How come it’s all right for Amy Poehler to say families should be able to afford basic healthcare without going bankrupt but Roseanne gets in trouble when she compares black people to apes? Double standard, if you ask me.

tbh, I've rather enjoyed 'ruin-a-racist's-tuesday'. I look forward to the next one.
