Statement on Racist Twitter Comment By Roseanne Barr
May 30, 2018
“Roseanne Barr’s statement merely reflects on the racism that has been uncuffed by President Trump’s election, that each and every day a new low is set,” said Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-Queens, NY) “I am glad that ABC TV immediately got rid of her, but they should have known what they were getting into when they talked about giving her a contract. The comments merely say that, instead of draining the swamp the President has unleashed every swamp creature, now including Roseanne Barr. The American people must always remain vigilant at a time like this, and it is time to stamp out the flames on racism that are being stirred up.”
