Comedian Roseanne Barr made a daring declaration to be even more daring with her new comedy.
Her resurgence on Fox Nation has enabled her to discuss the misstep that caused the industry to cancel her.
In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox Nation's "Tucker Carlson Today," Barr asserted "Any deviation from their fascist boot in your face makes you a racist,"
In 2018, Roseanne was severely reprimanded when she issued a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, an Obama adviser. Despite her initial claims, she was accused of believing Jarrett was not a person of color.
Her immensely popular show, entitled "Roseanne", was terminated shortly after her.
"The first five people that called me a racist and said, How could you do this? you know, they were African-American, and Sara Gilbert [Barr's costar] is sitting there next to me, and she goes, Dont answer them. Let it go. Just let it go.' "I'm like, Five in a row? Im hardly going to let it go.' That was always their thing, was just to say, Just ignore them. Let them call you a racist.'"
At that point Carlson interjected, "Don't defend yourself?"
Barr nodded in agreement, stating that she was not one to simply forget about something. "I said, No, Im not going to do it your way even though you are so proper, and you just love it. I love your proper privilege, but I'm going to step out and be a loudmouthed b--ch and open my mouth. Sorry."
Throughout her professional life, Barr has been well-known for her outspokenness and edgy wit. She has also been unafraid to challenge those attempting to cancel her.
"Eff you all," she declared, continuing to relate the tumultuous period she experienced after the scandal sparked by her tweet. "I fell in bed and people were calling me and I couldn't even speak," she said. "I mean, I had a nervous breakdown. I couldn't walk or speak or think"
Carlson inquired of Barr if she had any personal conclusions from the events. Barr responded "The greatest thing that I learned is my faith that has always kept me strong there's nothing that's ever gonna shake it. Thank heaven."
"Nothing could take me away from it, as low as it got, as hard as it got and as ugly as it got. Nothing could shake it. That was the greatest of all," Barr concluded.
