Legendary conservative actress, Roseanne Barr, recently stirred the political pot with a sharp retort aimed at a Biden supporter. This exchange has sparked reactions from all over the political spectrum, and once again highlighting the ever-increasing involvement of Hollywood figures in politics.
Barr, widely known for her outspoken conservative views, responded to a post by director Rob Reiner, who had stated, “War is not the answer.” The actress fired back at the Biden supporter, “Biden supporter is anti war HAHAHAHAHAH… we had a peaceful 4 years and your fat a** couldn’t stand it.” She was referring to the relatively calm global scene during President Trump’s tenure.
This interaction comes amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Democrats have accused President Biden of escalating the war when they argue a ceasefire should be implemented to prevent further civilian casualties in Gaza. White House advisors, however, contend that such a pause would only embolden Hamas, who initiated the attack on Israel, resulting in over 1,400 deaths and hundreds captured.
Barr, with her 1.1 million followers on social media, has been actively drawing attention to street fights between Palestinian supporters and counter-demonstrators like the Black Hebrew Israelites. Her tweets often target liberals, as she mockingly commented, “Libtаrds will have a hard time picking a side here.”
In 2018, ABC canceled Barr’s hit show “Roseanne” after she made a racially insensitive comment about Valerie Jarrett, a Black former advisor to President Barack Obama. Barr claimed the tweet was a “bad joke.” Since then, she has largely been shunned by mainstream Hollywood and has pivoted towards conservative audiences with her comedy special on Fox Nation titled “Cancel This.” The show premiered earlier this year and has received generally positive reviews from her MAGA viewership.
Barr joins a growing list of entertainment industry figures who have embraced the past four years of President Trump. Figures like Royce White, a first-round NBA draft pick who wrote “Trump Won” on his head during a charity basketball game, and comedian Chris Rock, who criticized Democrats for their multiple attempts to impeach Trump, have publicly voiced their support for the former President.
This recent exchange between Barr and a Biden supporter underscores the political divide not only among the general populace but also within Hollywood. As celebrities continue to wield their influence in the political sphere, we can expect more such exchanges that reflect the country’s deeply polarized political climate.
