Roseanne Barr has found himself in hot water again, after making controversial statements while appearing on a podcast.
The comedian appeared on the podcast Activated with Donald Trump Jr., where he talked about his career, stand-up comedy and “shouting to the woke crowd.”

During their conversation, she spoke candidly about being “written off” and falling from stardom.
she he cited a tweet in 2018 that led to his downfall. The tweet in question came in May 2018 when the former White House aide commented Valerie Jarrett and said it resembled a by-product of Planet of the Apes and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Shortly after, she shared an apology online: “I’m so sorry I made a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better.”
In the interview with Trump Jr., she said that “Bob Iger” personally fired her, with ABC forming part of the Disney group, and that the tweet was changed from a political comment to something that was considered “racist”.
He also shared that they “used” his firing to allegedly cover up other scandals within the wider sector.
Barr went on to say that Democrats had a problem with “classism,” making sure the “poor” stayed poor and that it was “a miracle I was born poor and born.” This is no longer because of the “stupid laws” established by the “classists” Democratsshe said
“Part of classism is racism,” the star said, asserting that black and Jewish individuals should not vote for Democrats in the future.
An excerpt of the interview was published in X, previously Twittercausing quite a stir when he shared his statement: “I don’t think anything is going to wake up the Jews and the black people who vote Democrat. They are so severely mind-controlled… I don’t think they can do it. .”
One shocked person said: “Wow, Rosanne thinks ‘blacks and Jews are severely mind controlled’. Deep thoughts from a seemingly ignorant human.”
Another shared: “Red flag when ‘the’ is included in front of a minority group.”
“As a black democrat the last whore I would advise is a jobless racist with a lopsided pig like @therealroseanne gtfoh,” said a third.
One social media user said: “I don’t care what stupid ass Roseanne says. I’m a free thinking black man and I vote the way I want. I’m not mind controlled. I’m an educated black man. A capable adult to make informed decisions on my own. He must have every seat with his racist a$$.”
Comments of disbelief continued to add to the post, including: “This racism and anti-Semitic comments are being brought by the Trump campaign,” while another concerned viewer shared: “I’m really saddened by what happened to Rosie “.
