ABC Cancels Roseanne – IOTW Report

ABC Cancels Roseanne

She tweeted out a bunch of anti-left statements, so her show is gone.

She was fact-checked when she said Chelsea Clinton was married to George Soros’s nephew. So she updated the tweet and said she was mistaken. Chelsea is married to the son of a corrupt politician. (She’s right. He’s a felon.)

The one that seemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back is when she said Valerie Jarrett was the product of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes having a baby.

She apologized but also said that Islam is not a race, so saying things about them is not racist. (True.)

You can read it here.

Pacific Pundit points out that ABC just hired Keith Olbermann for a return to ESPN. I guess this reflects “their values.”

  1. She tweeted on her free time. Her private account. She wasn’t representing ABC. Any leftists upset about the NFL coming out to defend Rosanne’s right to free speech?! Nothing unique here – just more of if you say anything that the left doesn’t like they will do everything to censor you, destroy your life and career and don’t think they don’t wish they couldn’t do what they did to Tommy Robinson (immediately toss her in jail for a year with a bunch of the Muslim Brotherhood). Had she said this at a WH correspondence dinner about a conservative she’d be a hero.

  2. this is a Win for ABC because it lets them off the hook for rebooting her show in the first place. I am sure that someone is sad about the loss of revenue, but given that BLM, Sharpton and Holder would start an advertiser boycott by the end of business day, the probably figured that a kill shot was the best way to go. (Definitely the wrong day for getting into it concerning Planet of the Apes tweets given the whole Starbucks fiasco going on today.)

    This event is only going to embolden the Left. The Right, however, needs to demand the same treatment. Start with April Ryan at CNN. She should be long gone after her sex trafficking tweet the other day. Joy Reid…gone. Neidermeyer…….

  3. Lets hope FOX picks her show up. I follow her on twitter. You don’t need to guess what she thinking. I don’t know what her politics use to be but she’s pretty conservative now.

  4. I’m confused, though. She only wrote “VJ”. And it was the Left that assumed it was Valerie Jarrett? So they actually think she looks like a planet of the apes character and is a muslim brotherhood sympathizer?

  5. Richard Cranium is probably closer to the truth. This is possibly her way out with INCREDIBLE advertising promo and she can keep the show intact for re-selling elsewhere.

    BTW ABC– the barb was funny, spot on and hit the obummer crime syndicate where it hurts. Suck it BITCHES!!

  6. Would the outcome have been different if Roseanne stayed more fact based? What if she said “VJ was an Iranian double agent that engineered Obama’s Iran deal giving them $150B and a free ride toward nuclearization.”

  7. Jarrett’s supposedly pure Iranian(Persian). She’s not remotely black, nor remotely African-anything.

    Persians are, in fact, the original “Aryans”.

    Most importantly:

    “Never apologize, Mister. It’s a sign of weakness.”

  8. Why did she live at the WH with 0bamas? Why does she live in the 0bamas house NOW? And wasn’t it jarrett who introduced them back in the day? Very strange. Either she’s doing him or she’s doing Michelle, or both, but there’s some seriously shady shit going on. Something is not right with those freaks.

  9. She could of at least done it with some class like classy Keith Olberman did with his well thought out verbiage he used in commenting on President Trump….
    Total words used in his friendly comment 16
    Nazi 7 times
    Fuck 5 times
    But Racist only 1 for a total of 13
    The other 3 words were : Go…..Yourself……..& You…..
    BTW – Did Keith join fellow ex MSNBCer Ed Shultz @ Russia Today TV ? I hear Ed has settled in very comfortably there with his comrades…

  10. I’ve been saying this for a while, Roseanne is not a conservative. I can’t find anymore, but I saw a clip where she, and the cast of her show, were at that Jimmy Kimmel show and she was pretty rude about Mike Pence.
    The cynical in me makes me wonder if she didn’t do this on purpose. Like MJA said, she was tired of ABC already.

  11. Her show sucked anyway. It was the “ole bait & switch” trick. The first episode was really good because she was pro-Trump. The following episodes were written to make Trump supporters look intolerant. Fuck ABC

  12. Wanda Syles said she was offended.
    This from an ugly ass scag who wished Rush would die of kidney cancer….

    C’mon killer earthquake and flatten LA !

  13. Val- I don’t think she’s a conservative either. I think she’s more independent/democrat. But I do think she’s not at all a fan of the left in general right now because of the constant adoration of criminals like hillary and the 0bamas. I think she speaks for the dems who are afraid of SJW dems. Not for Conservatives, as we speak for ourselves.
    She’s not PC and this is why she doesn’t mesh with the new dems anymore.

  14. “She only wrote “VJ”. And it was the Left that assumed it was Valerie Jarrett…”

    Well, it couldn’t have been Van Jones. He’s just a hard core commie, not a mobro.

    And I agree with the planned Twitter exit. She must have known the show was going off the rails. She belongs here.

  15. “Wanda Syles said she was offended.”
    LMAO! I read that. That’s hilarious. Wanda is a far-less classier version of Roseanne.
    And she knew exactly who Roseanne was when she took the job.

  16. I haven’t owned a television since the early 1990’s. Don’t watch it. However I saw George W Bush called adn depicted as far worse than this. The left is nothing if not thin skinned.

  17. They fact-checked the remark about Chelsea’s mating partner, I dare them to deny that VEEJAYJAY descends from muslim brotherhoods and apes (redundant, I know).

  18. I hope the suits at ABC don’t hurt themselves with all their posturing.
    And Valerie Jarret’s face looks like the one that grew on the back of some guy’s head.
    If Lazlo were a star, or a politician, I would hire a tech guy to have all my tweets sent to a digital purgatory for a two hour delay. Then a review is required before sending it out.
    On particularly witty and risky tweets they would be delayed for 12 hours.
    Poor Lazlo

  19. We should start an over-under contest for how long Olbermann lasts at ESPN. He used to be an entertaining sportscaster, but has become pretty unhinged in the past few years. And not that this will have anything to do with ESPN’s ratings.

  20. I haven’t watched any of the old leftist networks in nearly two decades. If anyone still watches ABC, would you list some of their advertisers so I know who to not patronize?

  21. Rosanne blocked me on Twitter a year or so ago.

    I think she’s a bigmouth and a fool.

    I think ABC was looking for a reason to cancel the show because it was wildly popular w/Trump supporters. Well, not me. I can’t stand the woman.

    ABC doesn’t want to be known as the Trump supporters network. And so they leapt on those tweets to cancel her.

    I will admit, ValJar does look like MoBro & Planet of the Apes had a child. I thought that was funny.

  22. When Roseanne tweets things like this, she’s welcome on my team.

    @therealroseanne
    soros’ goal; the overthrow of us constitutional republic by buying/backing candidates 4 local district attorney races who will ignore US law & favor ‘feelings’ instead-and call everyone who is alarmed by that ‘racist’.

  23. Whether she’s a conservative or not is irrelevant to me. I’m just looking at the glaring hypocrisy.

    Posted by a fb friend; “Stephen Colbert famously said to Trump, “the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster.” There were no consequences, and little outrage on the left.”

  24. We are told that we must be tolerant. We are told that any form of discrimination is the worst crime ever.

    Unless non-liberals are involved. They receive zero tolerance and are discriminated against at every turn.

  25. MJA, I think that now she helped to reinforce the stereotype that “Trump supporters are racist”, and for me, a brown skinned immigrant (I do prefer *American citizen by choice*, please!) being called “racist” is not a pretty place.

  26. Well guys, follow the food chain here. Who owns ABC?
    Disney.
    Now, just wait until Rupert’s little Ratbaggers sell Fox to Disney next year.
    Hopefully this gets shit-canned by Congress or there won’t be a shred of the truth left on Television “news”!

  27. Let’s see if NetFlix pick her show up! They give shows comedians that say all kind of racial crap and insults. If they don’t everyone should cancel them.

  28. The condescension drips from Valerie the Hutts worm hole, one of the next richest women in America thanks to the Chicago Olympics as she offers a “teachable moment”.
    ValJar can drop dead, she’s a parasite.

  29. Roseanne has never been a Conservative. Especially because of her and her idiot ex-husband defiling the National Anthem so many years ago. You don’t do that at any point in your life and then say you are a Conservative that loves our country. Roseanne is all over the map and has now drug Trump and all of us into this (as much as can be).

  30. Disney – WED – has been anti America, progressive for 30 years. Which is why they invested in the America hating ESPN, decades ago. their prime (as in #1) objective is to spread American hate. they lost $x,xxx,xxx,xxx on “THE ALAMO” doing just that over a decade ago.

    Before Rosann hey canceled another pro America show that had a big following and made big $. “LAST MAN..”!

  31. For whatever reason, Rosanne sabotaged her show. Mostly because she’s a leftist wacko. She probably felt like she was carrying a too conservative message, but in reality she just wants to be rebellious, annti-social and counter culture.

  32. Has anyone considered if this whole effing thing….?

    Is this a set up?

    How long was this show on TV? LESS than one season?

    Never saw it. Saw the crash coming.

    Not sure bout this one yet…

    Just wonderin’…

  33. I have been trying to catch the show since I watched the first episode on Hulu. I saw the one portraying Rosie as a bigot and knew she was still a bigot.
    I went straight to Hulu when I read about all of this and, sure enough, there’s no sign of Roseanne . Not even on my watched list.

  34. read the actual tweet from barr, never mentions jarret only uses the letters vj.

    I think the racists are the ones who assume she meant jarret.

    besides jarret is more like the cross between muslim brotherhood and a preying mantis.
