Roseanne Barr Just Doubled Down On Her Support Of Trump: 'This Is America, It’s A Free Country'

Roseanne Barr recently returned to the airwaves with a revival of her hit 90's television show Roseanne. This time around, however, the Connors are mostly comprised of Trump supporters, which has caused a great deal of controversy among some viewers who believe Trump's behavior shouldn't be normalized or implicitly supported on mainstream television, and others who believe it's healthy for a more conservative perspective to be represented in the media.

Barr also happens to be a staunch supporter of the President in real life, a fact she defended to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show this past Monday, April 30.



When Fallon mentioned many are unhappy she supports President Trump, Roseanne replied with her trademark aplomb:

I don't give a f**k.


Barr continued:

I mean, everybody had to choose for themselves, according to their own conscience, who they felt was the lesser of two evils.

This is America, it's a free country, and you know, when you weigh it all together, you know, I just felt like we needed a whole new thing. All the way. Bottom to top.




Roseanne responded similarly to a line of questioning from late night host Jimmy Kimmel not so long ago:


Though Roseanne unabashedly voted for President Trump, she's not completely blind to his faults, but also believes he was the lesser of two evils. She explained her view on liberals to Kimmel:

I'm still the same, you all moved. You all went so f***ing far out, you lost everything. You want Pence? You want Pence for the frickin' president? Well, then zip that fucking lip.


Roseanne airs Tuesdays on ABC at 8pm! No matter how you feel about her politics, there's no denying Barr still knows how to crack a joke. Here's her full interview with Fallon, where they reminisce about her first appearance on The Tonight Show.

MAGA Senator Faces Backlash For Dodging Question About High Beef Prices—And People Are Having A Cow

Mississippi Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith is facing backlash after dodging a question about high beef prices amid the nationwide affordability crisis and telling WLOX news viewers that they have "so many proteins to choose from."

Last month, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed that food prices were coming down, even as the Consumer Price Index shows grocery costs rose 0.7% in December. Beef, which Rollins elevated near the top of the food pyramid in the dietary guidelines she recently unveiled, increased 1% over the month and was up 16.4% compared with a year earlier.
