During a Television Critics Association panel discussion about the upcoming season of the show, Barr faced multiple questions from reporters about her, and her character’s, support for Trump.

“And, in fact, it was working-class people who elected Trump, so I felt like that was very real and something that needed to be discussed and especially about polarization in the family and people actually hating other people for the way they voted, which I feel is not American,” she added.

That is a common myth that is still floating around. In fact, white people of all economic strata voted for Trump. It was more an identity politics move than one based on income, as an excellent feature from The Atlantic outlines. It is ironic, considering how many conservatives criticize identity politics.

When a reporter asked why her character on the show, Roseanne Conner, who spoke out against bigotry, would support Trump, calling him a “xenophobe.”

“That’s your opinion,” she said.

“He says a lot of crazy shit,” she continued. “I’m not a Trump apologist. There are a lot of things he’s done and said that I don’t agree with in the same way there are probably a lot of things Hillary Clinton has done and said you don’t agree with.”

Barr then drifted into conspiracy town, saying she couldn’t vote for Clinton because of Haiti, citing the debunked claim that the Clintons raised hundreds of millions of dollars for a hospital in the country that was never built.
