Actress and comedian Roseanne Barr is now claiming that her racist tweet about former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett was actually denouncing anti-Semitism.
In the now-deleted racist tweet that prompted the cancellation of Roseanne, Barr referred to Jarrett, who is African-American, as the “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby = vj.”
“Rod Serling wrote Planet of The Apes,” Barr tweeted, referencing the writer of the 1968 science-fiction film.
She then cited the nuclear agreement from which President Trump withdrew: “Low IQ ppl can think whatever they want.”
