Roseanne Barr is having second thoughts about apologizing to Valerie Jarrett—and is still convinced that she didn’t do anything wrong.

On Thursday evening, the renowned comedienne addressed the tweet seen ’round the world during a live podcast taping with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach at Stand Up NY, an intimate comedy club on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

When Boteach, a friend of Barr’s, asked her, “You apologized to [Jarrett] because you’d recognized that you had wronged her. Is that right?” the comic refused to play along.

“Well, I recognize that she thinks I wronged her,” replied Barr. “I’m sorry that anyone thought that that was a racist and not a political tweet, because it was in fact a political tweet and not a racist tweet whatsoever. I can talk about it till I’m blue in the face and they’re never going to accept it, and I accept that.”

She continued, “All my friends said, your mistake was to apologize to the Left because when they see blood in the water, they’re going to come until you’re dead. And I think that’s kind of true.”

1. Riiiiiiiiight... your mistake was *apologizing*..... welp.

In case anyone was wondering if Roseanne had been treated too harshly, I think this clears it up nicely. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

3. She needs to stop digging that hole she's standing in. The TV show is never coming back.

She's had multiple chances in life.

She blew the last one.

6. When you look at all of Disney's properties.

Her lil show was like a pebble in the ocean to their bottom line. She crossed the Mouse and lost bigly.

4. It is because she was telling the truth. She thought apologizing would save her job

so she said what she thought people wanted her to say.

5. It's a tough time in America, Roseanne

Gotten so you can't even compare black people to apes. What a world, huh? And if you were to hang them from a tree for being uppity, the police would arrest YOU!

7. "All my friends said. . . ."

Which I would venture a guess is trump'd and one other "person", who knows she can't have many.

James Wood?

Dennis Miller?

Kelsey Grammer?

Who knows, or who F'ing cares!

8. Roseanne is the archetypal rethug.

She wouldn't know sincerity if it bit her in her ample ass.
Which is why she can change her POV at the drop of a hat.

9. Roseanne is screaming her need for love

A "political" tweet about people looking like apes??? Well I guess that is what substitutes for political discourse if one does not know anything about political facts and can't communicate anything meaningful.

I think Roseanne feels that she herself is unattractive, which is sad. That, combined with need to stay in the news and save a career and a strange tweet is born.
