<div>Roseanne Barr’s Twitter rant spewed false conspiracy theories, attacked former first daughter Chelsea Clinton and went after a former adviser to President Barack Obama with what many perceived to be a racist insult.</div>
<div>
<div class="blurb normal normal-style " data-pb-field="summary" data-pb-placeholder="Write blurb here.">
<p>“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values,” the network later said in a statement.</p>
<div class="wp-caption-text featured">Barr fired off a bizarre tweetstorm Monday night into Tuesday, falsely claiming Chelsea ​Clinton ​is married to George Soros’ nephew​, repeating a false rumor that the billionaire is a Nazi sympathizer​ and cracking a racist joke about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, then turned around to announce she was quitting the social media platform altogether in the wake of the backlash.</div>

<div>The comedienne started her <a href="https://twitter.com/therealroseanne/status/1001310680111243269">i</a><a href="https://twitter.com/therealroseanne/status/1001310680111243269">ntemperate internet rant</a> just before midnight Monday, tweeting, “Chelsea Soros Clinton,” followed by a since-deleted tweet that said, “she’s married to Soros nephew.”</div>

<div class="entry-content entry-content-read-more">
<p>An hour later, Barr <a href="https://twitter.com/therealroseanne/status/1001328824095719424">followed up with</a>, “soros’ goal; the overthrow of us constitutional republic by buying/backing candidates 4 local district attorney races who will ignore US law &; favor ‘feelings’ instead-and call everyone who is alarmed by that ‘racist.’”<br />
In another tweet, she called Soros a “nazi who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps &; stole their wealth.”<br />
Then, in response to someone who questioned what Hillary Clinton is “hiding under her winter clothes at the end of May,” Barr replied, “its a colostomy jug cuz full of shite.”<br />
Barr, who currently stars in the revival of her hit TV show “Roseanne,” also posted a racist tweet about President Barack Obama’s former senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett.<br />
“muslim brotherhood &; planet of the apes had a baby=vj,” she wrote in the tweet, which has been deleted.</p>
<h6><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-293895" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Chelsea-Clinton-1.jpg" alt="Chelsea Clinton 1" width="780" height="438" /><strong>Chelsea Clinton clapped back on Roseanne, Tuesday </strong></h6>
<p>Barr’s post about Chelsea got a response from the 38-year-old Chelsea herself: “Good morning Roseanne – my given middle name is Victoria. I imagine George Soros’s nephews are lovely people. I’m just not married to one. I am grateful for the important work @OpenSociety does in the world. Have a great day!” Chelsea Clinton wrote.<br />
Barr wouldn&#8217;t let go &#8211; she wrote in response, “CORRECTION: CHELSEA CLINTON IS NOT MARRIED TO A SOROS NEPHEW. HER HUSBAND IS THE SON OF A CORRUPT SENATOR, SO SORRY!:”<br />
By Tuesday morning, the heat of the fire she lit was creeping up. Barr proceeded to issue a blanket apology announcing, “I am now leaving Twitter.”<br />
“I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans,” Barr wrote. “I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.”</p>
</div>
<p id="ttkDqo">On Tuesday morning, Roseanne Barr went on a Twitter tirade against liberals, invoking conspiracy theories, lobbing a bizarre slur at Barack Obama’s top adviser Valerie Jarrett, and weirdly claiming Chelsea Clinton is married to a Soros.</p>
<h6><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-293896" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Valerie-Jarrett-and-Barrack-Obama-2.jpg" alt="Valerie Jarrett and Barrack Obama 2" width="920" height="537" /><strong>Sr. Presidential adviser</strong><strong>Valerie Jarret [centre], and President Barrack Obama was the target of vile, racist Roseanne Barr tweets early Tuesday</strong></h6>
<p id="XdLhMe">Barr&#8217;s ABC show was renewed for a second season <a href="http://deadline.com/2018/03/roseanne-revival-renewed-second-season-abc-season-11-1202356132/">after just one episode</a>, and who is also one of the biggest promoters of online far-right conspiracy theories — and a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/30/politics/trump-roseanne-and-representation-in-media/index.html">vocal supporter of President Trump</a>. Earlier this year, <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2018/03/29/trump-calls-roseanne-n2465917">Trump even called Barr</a> to congratulate her on her show’s success and thank her for her support.</p>

Hillary Clinton</p>

<p>Chelsea Clinton, who is not, in fact, married to a nephew of George Soros, responded, telling Roseanne that her middle name is not “Soros” but “Victoria,” and that she is in no way related to the Soros family: Her husband is the son of former Sen. Edward Mezvinsky</p>
<p id="73u8tX"><img class="alignnone wp-image-293903" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Roseanne-Barr-tweet-3.png" alt="Roseanne Barr tweet 3.png" width="675" height="340" />Barr apologized for the mistake, but then proceeded to tweet that Chelsea Clinton’s husband “is the son of a corrupt senator.” Clinton’s husband’s father, Edward Mezvinsky, was <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/father-groom-figure-chelsea-clintons-wedding/story?id=9211229">convicted of fraud</a> in 2002 and served five years in prison.</p>
