CBS News reports:
The day after ABC pulled the plug on her No. 1 show over a racist tweet, Roseanne Barr returned to Twitter with a vengeance. The embattled comic hinted she may challenge the cancellation, tweeting to her fans Wednesday, “you guys make me feel like fighting back. I will examine all of my options carefully and get back to U [sic].” Barr created a firestorm this week when she posted a tweet likening former Obama White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape.
Barr originally said her tweet about Jarrett was “indefensible” and begged for forgiveness. Then on Wednesday, she insisted what she said wasn’t racist but insensitive, hitting back at critics. Barr, a prominent supporter of President Trump, retweeted an image questioning why some people think it’s OK to ridicule him as an ape, but not Jarrett. “I mistakenly thought she was white,” she wrote, a day after she said, “i thought she was saudi [sic].”
you guys make me feel like fighting back. I will examine all of my options carefully and get back to U.
