Roseanne Defends Racist ‘Joke’ Comparing Valerie Jarrett to an Ape: ‘Islam is not a Race, Lefties’ (UPDATED)
As Roseanne Barr continues her off-the-wall tweetstorm, she’s doubling down on her racially-charged remarks about former White House adviser Valerie Jarrett.
The actress has tweeted and retweeted a ton of insane content today about Chelsea Clinton, the CIA, and everything in between. The tweet that really attracted attention, though, was the one where Barr said Jarrett is the baby of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes:
muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj

Despite the intense backlash, it looks like Barr won’t be backing down:
It's a joke-

Muslims r NOT a race.

ISLAM is not a RACE, lefties. Islam includes EVERY RACE of people.

Barr’s history as a conspiracy theorist is a previously-established fact, and as such, it might not be terribly surprising that she has spent most of her time today pushing random statements about the alleged connection between the Clintons and George Soros. Here’s some of the charming content Barr is circulating:
See @therealroseanne, we told you the elites will cover each other.
Even when that means praising a monster, who daily seeks to usurp democracies globally.
Meanwhile, the #AfluenzaTeen needs to be “groomed” to love and serve Her country. #NeverChelsea #MAGA https://t.co/yKR0m0Ul5g— MICHELLE ? (@4AllSoulKind) May 29, 2018

I apologize. I am now leaving Twitter.

I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.
