"Good morning Roseanne - my given middle name is Victoria. I imagine George Soros’s nephews are lovely people. I’m just not married to one. I am grateful for the important work @OpenSociety does in the world. Have a great day!

Chelsea always seems to come up with some kind, classy, and clear.

She is a remarkable person.

I don't forgive her for what she said, but at least she has some integrity

Calls her the baby of the Muslim brotherhood and Planet of the Apes. Another trump deplorable. Will ABC do anything? Guess it depends on ratings, which dropped after the first show.

I don't see that Barr said anything wrong since she's a comedian. No different then what the late night talk show hosts say about Trumpmand his administration. Hopefully Barr will double down.

May have dropped after first show, but check and see how it did compared to other new sit coms and check to see if it is coming back in the fall? That might tell you something. What she said, if indeed it was said the way you think it was, is wrong, will she be recommended ?I doubt it, nor should she be.

It wasn’t long ago you said she was a has been and insignificant. Now you’re outraged about a harmless joke from her.

What few marbles she had left rolling around her head have apparently fallen out. Sad!

A lot, if not most 'libs' spoke out against what Kathy Griffin did. I was one of them.

So we are saying its cool to call people apes now, is that what we are shooting for? Is that what being non PC is? We should come to an agreement you can call people apes and n words, and the person you call the name can punch you in the face, I mean you can defend yourself, but it should be as with any strong insult an invitation to an asswhooping or not.

The first revival season did really well ratings wise, and ABC announced it had renewed the show for another season. I wonder if what happened on Twitter today will have any impact.

It's quite normal for celebrities to tweet dumb things that may be pushing the line of inappropriate or offensive, we see that happen every day. But Rosanne compared a black woman to a monkey today. Yikes.
