In reply to the discussion: Samantha Bee apologizes for vulgar remark about Ivanka Trump: 'I crossed a line' [View all]BigmanPigman

Roseanne was and is a racist and conspiracy monger and has used her show as propaganda for her crazy "Alex Jones" attitude. Kathy Griffin and Sam Bee are also comedians but there is a difference.

How smart is she really if she makes such a blatant obvious mistake as she did?

Somebody tallied MSM coverage: 30 minutes death toll vs 600 minutes the c-word.
