| Subject: LOL, George Soros Smears Find New Life in Roseanne’s Twitter Tantrum Thu May 31, 2018 6:10 pm | |
| The racist tweet that cost Roseanne Barr her hit ABC sitcom was not the only hateful message that the actress and outspoken conservative shared on Tuesday.
In a flurry of tweets and retweets, Ms. Barr dabbled in far-right conspiracy theories old and new that included falsehoods about a frequent bogeyman, George Soros, the billionaire and progressive philanthropist.
In an exchange with Chelsea Clinton, Ms. Barr falsely accused Mr. Soros, 87, of being a Nazi “who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps & stole their wealth.”
[ABC canceled the hit sitcom “Roseanne” hours after Ms. Barr’s racist tweet.]
In another tweet, Ms. Barr accused Mr. Soros of wanting to “overthrow” the United States by backing candidates for district attorney “who will ignore U.S. law & favor ‘feelings.’”
Ms. Barr also retweeted a user who asserted that Black Lives Matter and anti-fascist activists are Soros-sponsored front groups. The user referred to Mr. Soros as the “terrorist in chief.”
