Roseanne Barr has had one hell of a day.
After sending out a racist tweet likening former Obama adviser Valerie Jarett to an ape, Roseanne’s recently-revived sitcom has been cancelled by ABC, re-runs of the show have been pulled from virtually everywhere, she’s been dropped by her agency, and her conservative allies have stopped defending her.
