Trump Weighs In on ‘Roseanne’

May 30, 2018 at 12:13 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

President Trump finally weighed in on ABC’s firing of Roseanne Barr for a racist tweet:

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?
