Roseanne gives the camera the finger, takes a jab at Eminem in strange pro-Trump music video
Devoted Trump supporter Roseanne Barr is making her political stance known through a new rap music video.
The video, created by Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald and titled “Daddy’s Home,” features Barr donning blonde braids and a gold “Roseanne” belly chain while flipping off the camera and dancing as she expresses her support for President-elect Donald Trump.
The 72-year-old actress takes shots at anti-Trump rapper Eminem, stating, “Screw Eminem, I’m Roseanne,” while also addressing the backlash she faced over her 2018 racist tweets about Valerie Jarrett, who was a senior advisor during Barack Obama’s presidency.
“They tried to cancel me and claim I’m a racist / I’m too tough for their attack / Trying to strip me of my right to act crazy / Listen up, ’cause this Granny is going wild.”
Barr had previously apologized, claiming her controversial tweets were the result of being “ambien tweeting.” However, her comments led to ABC quickly canceling the 2018 reboot of “Roseanne,” after which she blamed various factors for the fallout, including anti-Semitism and her co-star Sara Gilbert, along with former first lady Michelle Obama.
Following the cancellation of the reboot, ABC launched “The Conners,” a revival of “Roseanne” that did not include Barr, which ran for six seasons.
Barr, similar to her iconic TV character, is an enthusiastic supporter of Trump, to the extent that the president-elect once phoned her to celebrate the high viewership ratings of her “Roseanne” reboot.
In addition to her television work, the actress has engaged in political activities, speaking at Republican gatherings and mingling with Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Barr was notably present when Kennedy controversially confessed to placing a dead cub in New York’s Central Park and pretending it was a road accident involving a bicyclist.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation stated that the statute of limitations for such an offense was one year, preventing any legal repercussions for Kennedy.
