Prior to comparing Jarrett to an ape, Barr spent hours Tuesday morning tweeting and retweeting a number of far-right conspiracy theories, most of them regarding the Clintons and George Soros.

Honestly, I don't think I recall Jarrett's name from the Obama years; pretty obscure target for a career-ending tweetstorm!

if I recall, when that uninvited couple crashed a White House party - she was supposedly in charge of the guest list?

And you bolster my assertion that she's a pretty obscure target! How bizarre.

Desirée Rogers from Chicago was social Secretary early on. She was responsible for the gaff. Valerie Jarrett was one of Obama's closest and valued advisors

She took a lot of heat and left shortly after that incident.

Attacking Obama - and those associated with him - is something she has been doing for a while now.

'Bout time Disney/ABC took a stand.

...especially early on. She was a long time friend of the Obamas, and former boss to Michelle—or maybe even both of them. She worked on his campaign, before becoming an advisor.
Of course, I was not working back then and had a lot of time to watch the news. Now, I can hardly stand to turn the news on...

That obviously taught her nothing about tweeting BS conspiracy stories. So is she going to be banned again? Maybe permanently this time?

Along with something else. She gave a totally crazy interview off her meds talking about it among other things once.

He has been trashed a lot in the past but I think Roseanne tops him with her actions during the past 10 or so years.

about 6 hours ago. He was put down when he called her behavior out in the past. I think that is what he is talking about.

He tweeted:
"Ton of respect for Bob Iger,” tweeted Arnold, who was married to Barr from 1990 to 1994, about Disney CEO, Bob Iger."

Continued Arnold: “Tough decision with financial consequences for his company but right for America....umm… now don't bug Bob but maybe someone else find out if I'm still banned from all of @ABCNetwork for calling Roseanne Barr out first on her racist conspiracy tweets.”
