roseanne did then and has time to comment on it now. the president is a president of all people, and damn it, i wish he would start acting like it. we know roseanne and the president have been friends for a lot of years. and my question i guess is, when someone makes a mistake like this, and i obviously, and i think everybody agrees that what she said was reprehensible, but i don t think this is what comes from roseanne s heart, i don t know her. i m sorry. do you mind if i continue? i m sorry. i m sorry. michael, i do want you to continue. but you know, the number at what point can i continue? the number of tweets that she sent about 9/11.
barr did, it is a horrible mistake, and people view it, this whole thing about gorillas, it is a trope. and i have seen people taken down by this in the past. i have worked with executives in my communication consultant capacity especially actually with a local comedian and television personality. and three years later his career is not recovered. if roseanne is story and it sounds like she is sorry, she is talking to her staff that she let down. 100 plus people are out of a job. if she makes amends with this with her community and family and friends i think she should get back to work. you are thinking that she should be given another chance. she hasn t made amends.
revival of roseanne for barr s tweet, the president responded this way, quote, bob igor of abc called valerie jarrett to let her know that abc does not tolerate comments like those made by roseanne barr nowhere in the tweet did he condemn what roseanne barr did, or call it what it is, racist. he didn t even lament the passing of a show. you might say the president has more important things to focus on. this is the same president who just a couple of months ago in a speech particularly made roseanne s show his own. look at roseanne, i called
i sense that after something like that, maybe people close ranks. i know her son did as good ajob as humanly possible of taking down things in twitter. and kids are amazing kids, they do everything amazingly humanly possible. they love their mom very much. maybe this is for the best for the family to pull together and just be a family. there is nobody, you know, somebody could there are a million things. listen, tell your mom that donald trump doesn t carry his own phone. and he has a guy or have a fake phone. i had a whole bunch of ideas. one of our former guests was saying that he felt that president trump had been friends with roseanne for decades and
decades, and i understand that you question whether president trump was really ever a fan of hers or just wanted to take credit for her ratings. you say that one time mr. trump criticized her directly to you after her divorce. we feel the hbo special, trump castle. i knew him better than roseanne. he used to come to my sports show. donald trump okay, once i think it was elton john s we have a picture of him talking to you. i was with my wife at the time. and he said to me, oh my gosh, you married up in the world. and he goes, roseanne was
