Trump Breaks Silence on Roseanne… to Slam Disney CEO Bob Iger
President Trump has finally weighed in on Roseanne Barr and has decided the person most worthy of condemnation here is Disney CEO Bob Iger.
No, seriously.
Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?

Yes, after Barr’s show was cancelled because of her racist comment about Valerie Jarrett, Jarrett revealed that she received a call from Iger.
Iger himself tweeted yesterday that it was the “right thing” to do:
From Channing Dungey, President of ABC Entertainment: "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show."
There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing.— Robert Iger (@RobertIger) May 29, 2018
And the President of the United States’ first reaction here is to be upset online that the CEO of the Walt Disney Company did not call him.
It’s unclear what “HORRIBLE statements” he’s talking about. There was controversy a few months ago when Joy Behar joked about Christians like VP Mike Pence who speak to God, which she ended up apologizing to the veep for.
Trump, of course, praised Barr for her ratings during a rally a few weeks ago. At his rally last night he said nothing about her cancellation.
