Well, I'm out of the loop. I had no idea that Roseanne has been buying-into and spreading the alt-right conspiracy theories (Hillary Clinton runs a pedo ring in a pizza joint, George Soros is a Nazi, etc) and bullshit like that for years. I'm not on Twitter.

Anyway, before her Roseanne reboot premiered a couple of months ago, she said she'd matured and her show wasn't going to be political but that it was going to reflect red-state American families and their issues, including political differences in the home. It was the highest rated show on ABC (owned by Disney) along with Big Bang Theory.
Yesterday, Roseanne tweeted out that Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett was the the product of Muslim Brotherhood breeding with Planet of the Apes or some such shit.
She apologized for the 'joke'. But, her show was promptly canceled -- cast and crew have denounced her and distanced themselves from her. Seems some of them were ready to quit anyway.
Last night, Roseanne took to Twitter and went on a batshit flurry. She attributed her tweet to Ambien at one point, then quickly deleted it. She also said that she didn't know that Jarrett was black and ignorantly believed Jarrett was a Persian Jew. Yeah, that was a good idea.
Anyway, I never got a chance to watch her new show. I did see a lot of viewers say it did a good job of addressing issues and divides. But Roseanne Barr is not Roseanne Connor and apparently couldn't contain or change her biases and self-destruction.
