President Donald Trump didn’t mention Roseanne’s show during his rally, but he went off the hinges soon after and swung his presidential hammer towards ABC for what they wrongfully did. ABC canceled the Roseanne show shortly after Roseanne Barr posted a Tweet that a handful of people found offensive. Roseanne’s freedom of speech was used against her as ABC took action over a Tweet that was less than the 240 characters provided by Twitter, a move that many believe ABC will shortly regret. Trump finally chimed in, after learning of the messy situation, and he exposed ABC for participating in the ugly double standard that’s plaguing Hollywood, the entertainment industry, and in particular – those who align themselves on the left side of politics and get away with the same sort of ‘offensive’ verbal jousting that people on the right side of politics continue to be punished for.
Trump, realizing Barr is a supporter, took Roseanne’s side and personally called out Bob Iger of ABC to criticize him for allowing ABC to make a terrible decision in canceling a show that had millions of viewers. Trump mentioned the treatment that he receives from people on the ABC network and how those people don’t lose their job, even though Roseanne lost hers for taking similar verbal jabs at people she’s not thrilled with. Roseanne’s comments could be considered highly misinterpreted as many believe Valerie Jarrett looks whiter than most white people and Roseanne made subtle claims that she didn’t realize Jarrett might identify as black (about as black as Rachel Dolezal).

The Hill provided this information about Trump calling out Bob Iger of ABC: “President Trump on Wednesday accused ABC of a double standard in its decision to cancel the hit sitcom “Roseanne,” whose star, Roseanne Barr, is a vocal Trump supporter who has come under fire for a racist tweet she sent earlier in the week.
“Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that ‘ABC does not tolerate comments like those’ made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?” Trump tweeted.
The tweet is Trump’s first response to the show’s cancellation, in which he chose to focus on Iger rather than the substance of Barr’s comments. Barr later retweeted Trump’s post.
Barr on Tuesday sent a tweet likening Jarrett, a black former adviser to President Obama, to an ape. Jarrett revealed later in the day that Iger called her before announcing “Roseanne” had been nixed.
In the now-deleted tweet, Barr wrote: “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,” referring to Jarrett by her initials. Barr later apologized, but retweeted messages of support from her fans, including one who said “Roseanne is not racist.”
The comedian’s remark drew nationwide backlash and ABC quickly moved to cancel the show, despite its high ratings.
ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey called the remark “abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values” in a statement announcing the cancellation, and Iger added on Twitter that “there was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing.”
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said later Wednesday that “nobody is defending her comments,” which she called “inappropriate.” But she said Trump is frustrated by a “double standard” in the media.
She rattled off a list of grievances with Disney, which is the parent company of ABC and ESPN, citing anti-Trump comments made by personalities such as Jemele Hill, Keith Olbermann, Joy Behar and Kathy Griffin.
“The president is pointing to the hypocrisy in the media, saying that [sic] the most horrible thing about this president and nobody addresses it,” Sanders said.
Hill was suspended by ESPN in part due to her tweets calling Trump a “white supremacist” and Griffin was fired by CNN, which is not affiliated with Disney, for tweeting a gruesome image of Trump.
The president has previously boasted of the “Roseanne” reboot’s large viewership, which many said represented the daily lives of his supporters. Trump even called Barr last year to congratulate her on the show’s success.”

It’s believed by many that Bob Iger made a terrible mistake by firing someone over a Tweet. His actions were childish and canceling the show caused many people to lose their jobs. Many writers of the show align themselves with liberal politics and they lost their job too. Iger’s overreaction now has multiple people searching for work – all because he didn’t like the Tweet that
