Roseanne Barr has been caught talking out the side of her neck again.
On Tuesday, May 29, Barr hopped on a Twitter thread on an article about Julian Assange accusing President Obama of spying on French presidential candidates. One user said former Obama administration adviser Valerie Jarrett “helped hide a lot,” and Barr went for the jugular.

“muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,” Barr tweeted. The tweet was later deleted. Muslim Brotherhood refers to a political party in Egypt.
The response was not only racist but random because Jarrett was not mentioned in the article.
When the tweet drew criticism, Barr deflected saying the comment was "a joke."
It's a joke-

A couple of hours later, she apologized and said she was leaving Twitter.
I apologize. I am now leaving Twitter.

I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. 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.

"I apologize. I am now leaving Twitter," she wrote. "I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. 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."
However, her departure from Twitter was short-lived as Barr returned to the platform on Tuesday evening to issue a few more tweets, with the nerve to claim her racist remark was a result of lack of sleep because she was allegedly "ambien-tweeting":
Don't feel sorry for me, guys!!-I just want to apologize to the hundreds of people,and wonderful writers (all liberal) and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet. I will be on Joe Rogan's podcast friday.— Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 30, 2018
hey guys, don't defend me, it's sweet of you 2 try, but…losing my show is 0 compared 2 being labelled a racist over one tweet-that I regret even more.— Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 30, 2018
guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting-it was memorial day too-i went 2 far & do not want it defended-it was egregious Indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn't but…don't defend it please. ty— Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 30, 2018
She must like the taste of her feet because they keep ending up in her mouth.
