Now she can become the host of Fox & Friends, which is where she belongs with the other ignorant, racist, conspiracy nuts.

Hey Deplorables! If you are going to spew racist filth about a powerful black woman on your twitter account, you should probably also be aware that your boss is a powerful black woman.

Sadly, lots of folks are now also out of jobs because of her racism.

Well, that was fast.

There goes Trump’s day. Instead of focusing on North Korea, immigration, China, etc., - you know, his job -his itchy Twitter fingers will give this high priority.

In my opinion, Roseanne should have spent her plastic surgery money on a frontal lobotomy.

Or how about just not spewing racist filth, just because? Though point taken.

Good. That’s what ABC gets for trying to pander to Trump supporters. Now do you get it, ABC? Trump supporters are racists. That’s why they supported him.

Stop trying to please them and him.

This gives me hope. Not the biggest thing in the world, but there are good Americans in powerful positions fighting for right instead of the almighty dollar. I hope this portends good omens for November.

There are always going to be hostages - that’s just the way it works. We spend too much time giving in, because of the hostages.

The ratings were too high. Someone is going to pick up the show, Netflix, Hulu. I doubt it’s gone completely yet.

Great! Never watched either incarnation of the show, but seeing the tweet on Raw Story I sent ABC an email saying I would boycott their sponsors. I got a form letter having nothing to do with this issue in reply.

Thank you, Roseanne Barr, for cutting through all the distractions of daily living and having Trump’s racist garbage penetrate down to the nether regions of the barely-paying-attention voting public and waking them up.

I’m just disappointed we didn’t even have time to threaten a boycott, LOL

ABC Entertainment cancels Roseanne Barr’s show, calling her comment on Twitter ‘abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values’."

So ABC is canceling appearances by GOP guests on This Week then?
