It’s not a huge secret that Roseanne Barr, the star of the ABC hit sitcom, is not a fan of George Soros. But a glance at Barr’s Twitter feed early Tuesday morning shows she falsely claimed Chelsea Clinton was married to the nephew of every conservative's favorite boogeyman, George Soros, who she accused of trying to “overthrow” the “constitutional republic”, raved about CIA mind control, called Hillary Clinton “a colostomy jug cuz full of shite,” and made a pejorative statement of a former Obama official. Barr’s frantic Twitter marathon kicked off with two tweets — which have since been deleted — claiming Chelsea Clinton was married to George Soros‘s nephew, a (false) rumor that was initially spread by Scott Baio, according to some leftist sources. Barr expanded on her Soros theme. We'll just post the thread and let the readers reflect. ABC has done it's own quick reaction after radical leftist, Wanda Sykes went on strike. Sykes is credited as a producer of the show. When she quit, the network quit, as well. Kevin Fallon✔@kpfallonABC cancels Roseanne. ABC President Channing Dungey: "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show." 12:47 PM - May 29, 2018 | SoonerPolitics does not often focus on national or cultural topics, but decided to provide the raw data for this narrative. |

Meanwhile, CNN’s Chris Cillizza is a “mouth breather” and Hillary Clinton is “its a colostomy jug cuz full of shite“.
And to top it all off, Barr sent out what appears to be a super racist tweet about former Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, claiming she is the baby of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes:
Enjoy this mess, ABC executives.
UPDATE – 9:50 a.m. EST: Barr retweeted this response from Chelsea Clinton and acknowledged that the former first daughter is not married to Soros’ nephew.
Chelsea Clinton✔@ChelseaClintonGood morning Roseanne - my given middle name is Victoria. I imagine George Soros’s nephews are lovely people. I’m just not married to one.

By the way, here’s how she’s explaining that tweet about Jarrett being the offspring of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes:
