UPDATE: May 29, 2018, 1:56 p.m. EDT Shortly after publishing this post, ABC announced (https://twitter.com/AP/status/1001520883096309761) that Roseanne has been canceled.
Roseanne Barr went on an exceedingly racist tirade this morning, even for her.
On Tuesday morning (http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/29/media/roseanne-twitter-chelsea-clinton/index.html), Barr said this of President Obama's former black female advisor Valerie Jarrett: "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj." Barr's tweet caused understandable outrage on social media, eventually prompting the actress to quit Twitter. Wanda Sykes also resigned from her role as consulting producer on Roseanne.
