Trump fan Roseanne Barr threatens to quit after Twitter meltdown

https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2017/12/29/roseanne-barr-threatens-retire-huff-over-twitter-feuding-liberals/991435001/

Roseanne Barr, who is scheduled to return to TV in late March, announced on Twitter Friday that she's fed up and retiring. Maybe.

" i won't be censored or silence chided or corrected and continue to work. I retire right now. I've had enough. bye!— Roseanne Barr," read one of her tweets.
...
Barr's outburst Friday followed a series of earlier angry tweets from her and other Trump supporters. They praised the president while bashing liberals, former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Barr has been a Trump supporter on Twitter for some time. She said she voted for Trump to "shake up" the status quo. She also believes he's "draining the swamp," likes Jews and is going after child sex traffickers. "let's help to awaken our leftist brothers and sisters about child sex trafficking in America and the world, and how our @Potus is battling it like no Pres b4 him-send links, thanks!"


Bye, Felicia.

Years ago, when Barr was married to Tom Arnold, an article quoted her as follows: We're America's worst nightmare, white trash with money.

It was the wedding that rocked Hollywood: Sitcom diva Roseanne Barr said ”I do” to comedian (and Roseanne writer-actor) Tom Arnold on Jan. 20, 1990 — a mere four days after she divorced her husband of nearly 16 years, Bill Pentland. At the reception, Arnold famously bellowed, ”We’re America’s worst nightmare: white trash with money!”

We don't want your skanky ass anymore. You have chosen to support a treasonous idiot, and you gather your news from fake sites like Faux news and bright fart. Crawl back under your rock and be ashamed for your stupid choices.

Her talk show stank! It wasn't even on a regular channel around here - Just an obscure channel that could only be viewed at night !!!

She's always been a whiner - No wonder she relates to Trump.

The Peace and Freedom Party ran her for President in 2012. Needless to say I voted for Barack. But she was always saying something really uninformed. Here's a pic Google served up:



She ran with Cindy Sheehan but it doesn't seem to have left an impression.

Not that I ever looked into it, but I'll be sure to avoid her show for sure now.

We need a list of stars who are Trumpers so we can avoid supporting them.

Years ago she said everyone 60 and older should do the government a favor and kill themselves.

I never could stand her. My sister really liked her tv show show Roseanne, but I couldn't make myself watch it. I could barely stomach the show's ads on tv. ugh.

I haven't heard anything about that, except for this:

Ralph Shortey, a former Oklahoma state senator who last year served as Donald Trump's campaign chair in the state, was meticulous about keeping up his reputation as a pious man, according to several fellow Oklahomans. That reputation, however, has all but disappeared. According to Shortey's attorney, the former Republican lawmaker will plead guilty to one count of child sex trafficking on Nov. 30.
