would you welcome roseanne barr? roseanne? >> reporter: she then got her big break on "the tonight show." >> i hate that word, housewife. i prefer to be called domestic goddess. >> reporter: that national exposure eventually led her to her own sitcom, where her character often freely spoke her mind. >> i put in eight hours a day at the factory and then i come home and put in another eight hours. >> reporter: but in recent years it's been her comments offscreen that have been getting the most attention. just recently in response to i apicture of former parkland student and activist davidh hog at the march for our lives rally roseanne tweeted to him nazi salute. the tweet was later deleted she apologized saying she had seen a doctored image. it was also this photo shoot in 2009 in the now defunct jewish satirical magazine "heeb" she was kritized as posing for be adolf hitler but she claimed she did it to raise awareness about continued genocide around the world. and though she came back from those controversies it's this most re

>>s. >> roseanne spotted out. the first new video after her tweets at outrage turned to concerns over her mental health. >> the posts keep coming with more disturbing content. what did roseanne have to say today. >> do you think your career has taken a big hit? >> i'm not going talk to you except for to say, have a nice day. thank you. >> are you going stay on twitter? >> thank you. thank you. >> roseanne in utah today spoke out for the first time since her show was canceled. it appeared to be a social media break. roseanne posted almost 300 times since announcing she was quitting twitter on tuesday. >> look at roseanne's social media right in this moment. she doubled and tripled down. somebody needs to stop it right now. roseanne posted these conspiracy theories and more comparison to "planet of the apes." all that as kimmel -- tom arnold voiced concern on the tosh show and cnn. >> she's having mental health issues right now. i'm sure that's part of this. it doesn't make it okay. they had to cancel the show. >> r

roseanne barr did what roseanne barr is going to do. it's nothing new for her to say something insensitive. because president trump did not respond and specifically say it was racist. even sara and zers said it was -- even sara sanders said it was inappropriate. i think that's a bit of a stretch. howie: roseanne said it was a joke. then she said she was on ambien. then she said what i did was so egregious and no one should defend it. given her history. didn't abc executives know exactly what they are getting? susan: i think they are naive to the intersection of social media and television. it's the wild west. in the old days the stars were managed. now you have twitter. i don't think these big media companies are setting standards. they are setting standard as they are playing reaction air yaiy. -- they are reactionary. they don't have the standards in place. howie: you mentioned samantha bee using the c word and make these accusations against ivanka trump. then you have the media saying it wasn't so bad, and trump uses worse language a

roseanne was canceled because of some despicable things roseanne said about valerie jarett. she compared her to an ape. but look how the media tried to smear president trump with roseanne barr. >> we know what donald trump thinks, we know what roseanne barr thinks. they are exhibiting racist behavior. >> it was a great move yesterday. the background of all this is the president can be racist and nothing happens to him. >> roseanne's show canceled because she tweeted out racist stuff. >> tens of millions of people voted for him after he showed his cards for years. >> are you suggesting they are racist? >> yes. >> all the people who voted for donald trump are racist? >> yes. jesse: that's like blaming

roseanne's downfall was sudden and shocking. >> ladies and gentlemen -- roseanne!rk celebrated her as the star of its annual "up front" presentation. the hottest new show on television averaging over 18 million viewers a night. then, just two weeks later, that infamous tweet comparing a former obama aide to an ape. abc's number one show tanked by a 3:00 a.m. tweet. roseanne apologized but the damage was done. that one tweet cost hundreds of her coworkers their jobs and left the network with a gaping hole in the fall lineup. roseanne barr was not just the star of the original show, and the reboot. she was its cocreator and executive producer. normally she'd be entitled to a share in the profits of any future spinoffs, whether or not she appears on camera. but according to abc, roseanne won't benefit financially from "the conners." network executives insist she'll have no financial or creative involvement in the new series whatsoever. roseanne issued the following statement about the spinoff. i agreed to the settlement in order that 200 jobs of beloved cast and crew

roseanne has a history of this. they took a chance on roseanne. they are saying, this was an unpopular statement. she has a right to say it, but we don't want to stand next to her. and many of our viewer don't want to stand next to this. i think that's a reasonable thing for a network to say. i hate what samantha bee says. i hope no one says that. i think the network made a different decision because we're in different times, it's wrong. that's happens. and i think he's not a repeat offender. they can say, this is a bad move, and we'll give you another shot. >> tmz says that abc is in talks to do a version of the "roseanne" show, without the name sake. if it's her concept -- >> it would be the connors. the talks are happening. they're early. they would have to buy out roseanne's stake in the show to relaunch it without her. i think it's a real idea. she feels she was fired weeks ago. it's only a few days ago. i'm glad this week is over. the president screwed up, saying sam bee should be fired. frankly, bee, messed up, we should be able to debate t

but she still has her job, unlike roseanne.w, comedian mason zayed and daily beast contributor, dina badala. should samantha bee still have her job? >> she should. we need to laugh more than ever during the time of trump. >> do you think that was funny? >> no, but what led to it were jokes bringing attention to donald trump's inhumane policies separating mothers from their children. >> she stepped on her own line. >> exactly, that's the unfortunate thing. jimmy kimmel talking about health care to samantha bee, brings attention of younger viewers to issues that they wouldn't normally be exposed to. roseanne bar was racist. samantha bee's comment was profanity. if roseanne had called valerie jarrett the "c" word, she wouldn't have been fired. there is no double standard. unfortunately some, like donald trump, refuses to denounce roseanne barr's comment as racism. we can't treat them the same. >> do you agree, do you believe there's a morlal equivalency between what roseanne barr said to what samantha bee said? >> i think there's

so roseanne lost her job. i'm not defending roseanne. i'm asking how does samantha bee have a job?there's a vast difference between what samantha bee said and a racist comment by roseanne barr. donald trump would not use the word racist to talk about her -- >> it was racist. i already said it was racist. >> the reality is they're far different. >> i'm not donald trump. >> and roseanne barr has a histo history, i wrote last month saying you're going to have problems with her. right now roseanne barr lost two sponsors. in a time of comedy -- >> there's a running list. >> let him finish, stacey. >> i would love to see the outrage of stacey and others on the right to the bigotry and racism of donald trump against blacks, latinos, defending rob porter who beat his wife. how about half of that kind of anger? i would love that, i would embrace it. >> but 12 rights -- 12 wrongs don't make a right. 14 wrongs don't make a right. >> when have i never defended -- >> don't take it personally, stacey. >> he just called my name, don. >> but do you criticize him for his comments? do you criticize

there is a chance that "roseanne show" can continue without roseanne barr.exploring the possibility focusing on the character darlene played by sarah gilbert. >> joy reid on her apologies for old inflammatory blog posts. book now at lq.com. but as it grew bigger and bigger,ness. it took a whole lot more. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. everything. and that 2% cash back adds up to thousands of dollars each year... so i can keep growing my business in big leaps! what's in your wallet? i thought i was managing my moderate to severe crohn's disease. then i realized something was missing... me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, s

that's why he won't criticize roseanne.e the same people on twitter right now, not just angry about roseanne being canceled, but actually defending her comments. he's a leader of a victim filled cult. >> we're also using the stupid people's definition of racism. >> does he know? >> stupid people's definition is unless the person is articulating and saying i am a racist -- >> or using the n word. >> wearing the hood. has a swa sticka on their forehead, there's a question. >> i gotta go. quick. quick. quick. >> he was there before he was elected. we knew what we were getting. people voted for him for his policies not his moral leadership. >> you get what you vote for. president trump claiming he didn't fire james comey because of the russia investigation. that's not what he said a year ago. national, where i can choose any available upgrade in the aisle - without starting any conversations- -or paying any upcharges. what can i say? control suits me. go national. go like a pro. what's critical thinking like? a basketball costs

because of roseanne barr's racist tweets. thought roseanne barr was too big to fail, i thought she was too popular to be fired. >> are they going to fire here her? >> i am standing by for a statement from abc, i suspect it will be part of a condemnation, but it would be hard to imagine abc parting ways with roseanne bar. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> what is abc saying. >> the show has been cancelled. hey, there you go, lesson low pressured, it really was a shocking move, it sent shockwaves through the entire industry, that is partly why it became such a big story, because it was so surprising, because the network was essentially putting morals over money. now that was on tuesday. barr continued on a tweet storm throughout the week, making excuses, playing the victim, et cetera. and president trump sort of did that as well. he tweeted toward abc's owner disney's ceo bob iger, saying why aren't you apologizing to me for various insults on abc. then the conversation turned to samantha bee making disparaging comments against

roseanne has a long history of this. they took a chance on roseanne. the right to say it but our advertisements don't want to stay next to it. i hate what samantha bee says and no one should say that. the network makes a different decision. often times it is wrong and also i think she's not a repeat offender throughout her twitter feed. i thisnk they could say hey, ths is a bad move and we'll give you another shot. >> abc is doing a version of the rosean "roseanne show" without roseanne, do you think that'll work? >> these talks are happening, two sources confirmed to me. they would have to buy out the stakes of the show. i think it is a real idea. gosh, it feels like she was fired a week ago but it was only a few days ago. i am glad this week was over, don. roseanne screwed up and sam bee screwed up. bee messed up and we should be able to debate the president's policies without resulting to curse words. hopefully we can restart next week without so much vulgarity. >> i think people got the wrong idea. i am just wondering where the line is and when eve

not just roseanne, who wants to get the neighborhood right.at does her neighborhood look like compared to someone else's neighborhood? baltimore, chicago, l.a., you know. i'm not talking about in indiana or iowa or north dakota. i'm talking about all of america so we can come together as we the people who are still forming a more perfect union. so with this said, this president has a moment, a pregnant moment where it's still not too late for him to be able to come out and condemn what she said, but also still say she is my friend, but i condemn it. there is nothing wrong with that. >> it's not going to happen. >> as he is working on an urban agenda. >> it's not going to happen. >> well, i don't know. >> you're wasting your breath. it ain't going to happen. kirsten, you wrote a piece on cnn.com. today can be summed up in something donald trump said to "playboy." this is back in 1990. the show is trump, and it is sold out performances everywhere. it all becomes about him in the end. >> yeah, it is. look, that was 1990. this is a guy who in the

do you see the double standard that roseanne barr got fired? samantha bee apologized but kept her job. >> it's wild that donald trump would find himself to be a victim about a comment that both sides found incredibly racist and condemned, but he as the president was not able to condemn what roseanne barr put in a tweet. >> you think he should have said something? >> absolutely. in recent history any democrat or republican wouldn't defend those remarks. he made himself a victim. what samantha bee said -- i'm not going to defend that. those are horrible words. there is a hypocrisy. you've can't condemn samantha bee and have a president on tape saying he grabs a woman by her genitalia and still condemn samantha bee. it was reported he called sally yates the c word. >> terry you see the double standard? >> yeah. there's a fair grievance on the side of republicans where we felt the reaction has been different towards conservatives in entertainment than liberals because hollywood is more left wing. i think there's a fair argument there. based off the

so roseanne lost her job. i'm not defending roseanne. i'm asking how does samantha bee have a job?ight. dean, you want to? >> sure. there's a vast difference between what samantha bee said, which was vulgar and provocative and wrong and a racist comment by roseanne barr. stacey criticized roseanne, didn't use the word racist there. donald trump will not use the word racist to talk about her. >> it was racist. i said on the radio. i already said it was racist. don't go anywhere with me. >> the reality is they're far different. >> i'm not donald trump. >> and roseanne barr has a history, i wrote last month saying you're going to have problems with her. you're going to have problems with her from a corporate point of view and you do. right now samantha bee lost two sponsors. it could result in her losing her show. i hope not. she apologized and she is an important voice. one thing, don [ overlapping dialog ] >> let him finish, stacey, stacey, let him finish. >> i would like to see to the bigotry and racism of donald trump against black, muslims, latinos defending rob porter who beat h

brit, the comment by roseanne barr clearly hateful.he circumstances about it were more disturbing because samantha bee's comments were scripted, taped and run hours later by tbs. your thoughts about all of this? >> roseanne barr's comment was completely out of bounds and as you say, hateful. if you're trying to think of something to say about a woman that would be worse than what she said, the use of the c-word , which i think is only second to the n word. it's misogynist and reduces a woman to a body part. some people would divide as hate speech and sexist. i think the two are basically on par but what's not on par was the - - treatment toward roseanne barr and samantha bee. vast difference. it's pretty hard to argue there's not a double standard. >>chris: we asked you for questions for the panel and on the subject, we got this tweet. do networks have to respect and individuals freedom of speech or our networks responsibility and freedoms different? marie, how do you answer? >> private corporations to make decisions based on what they

tammy, is anybody going to watch roseanne without roseanne?an interesting points of view. i found, and i have been critical of roseanne in the past. and yet she was really the only likeable -- except maybe for dan, she was the most of likeable character. my audience, you are thinking why would we watch that. every time you see it, it will and reminder about what happened. what she tweeted was awful. but i found her apology to be quite genuine. but all the people who had been making a lot of money for years threw her under the bus. now they are having the new show. she removed herself from the financial end of things. she wants those people to work. but i think they will find the reaction will be very different. david: i hope for their sake that it succeeds. i don't want any show to put people out of work. but the hypocrisy has to be stated here. this is the week peter fonda sent out a tweet in which he suggested the 11-year-old son of the united states be kidnapped and forcibly raped. this is extraordinary. not only did he not lose his twitter

samantha bee unlike roseanne barr has not had her show cancelled. is their unfair bias here?s a fair case to be made. because what samantha bee did was unacceptable. that's one of the most vile words that you can ever use. i think that was on george carlin's list of 20 words you don't say. i have been critical of ivanka trump before, but that doesn't give you license to be that offensive. cbs has made the decision they made and i don't think they would have been as charitable to someone else who was not on the left that they like, and it gives fuel to the other side to say that, look, see, there's a double standard here, and i think over the years, you can see that, johnny depp made awful comments about assassinating trump, and madonna, and you see these things and people go, that wasn't cool, and they move on. it was another example of the coursening of our culture. it's just bigger. it's just another example of that. and when you can't have your kids watching cable anymore and you have to explain to them what the c-word is or what the p-word is after trump was caught saying

first, though, roseanne barr, the sequel.rump tweeted about her racist tweet. if you're waiting for him to speak out against the racism of comparing an african-american woman to an ape, you might be waiting a bit longer. yesterday his reaction was to ask why abc, who cancelled her network show didn't apologize to him for a variety of offenses. today he tweeted, iger, where's my call of apology? you and abc have offended millions of people and they demanded a response. how is brian ross doing? he's the reporter responsible for an erroneous report about the president. the network offered several clarifications, suspended ross, so the president restated his apology demand, he tweeted the words fair trade in all caps, what he did not do is mention the racism at the heart of roseanne barr's tweet. keeping them honest, it's not necessarily because he doesn't feel it's appropriate or necessary or does not feel it's appropriate to appeal to elements of his base or for some other reason, it is part of a here's from charlottesville. >>

>> roseanne bars comment was completely out-of-bounds and as you say, hateful.f you're trying to think of something to say about a woman that would be worse than what she said, the use of the c word, which i would say is second only to the n-word, the ugliest words in the temporary parlance. it's misogynistic, it reduces a woman to a body part. this is a comment someone derived as hate speech. and sexist. so i think the two remarks were basically on par and what's not on par was the treatment by "abc news" towards roseanne barr and by tbs toward samantha bee. that's different and it's pretty hard to argue there there's not a double standard. >> chris: we asked you for questions for the panel and on this specific subject we got this tweet from kc. do networks have to respect an individual's freedom of speech, or our network's responsibility and freedoms different? marie, how do you answer? >> private corporations can make decisions based on what they think is in their best business interests and we'd seen a couple of businesses boycott samantha bee's show. that m

in some form without roseanne. nbc's ann thompson has the latest. >> reporter: comedian and department critic samantha bee in the president's cross hairs. the president tweeting why aren't they firing no-talent samantha bee for the horrible language used on her low-rating show. a total double standard but that's okay. that language a profane slur about his daughter ivanka. >> do something about your dad's immigration practices you feckless [ bleep ]. bee did not back down. we spent the day wrestling with the repercussions of one bad word. when we should have spent the day that as a nation we're wrenching children from their parents. one bad word was used deliberately, written and taped in advance. yet her fate different from roseanne barr's for a racist tweet some say because of their employers. >> tbs turner is not the walt disney company. they don't make kids cartoons and have family theme parks. >> reporter: tbs did not respond to the president's demand to fire bee. in 2016, his language about women became a cam

the double standard a reference to abc canceling roseanne barr's show earlier this week.edian tweeted a racist insult comparing valerie jarrett, an african-american obama official, with an ape. >> i'm not surprised people have asked for bee to be fired, two days after roseanne barr was fired, trying to make it out to be a polarity between liberal and conservative. but to equate the racism with her rudeness, to equate the target of roseanne barr's racist attack, african-americans, with ivanka trump, who comes from a position of power, is different. >> reporter: still, many are drawing comparisons and drawing the conclusion that barr was punished and bee protected because of their politics, pointing to another primate joke bill maher previously made about president trump as further evidence of bias. >> i made a joke about his father being an orangutan once. he marched into court with his birth certificate and sued me. >> reporter: critics say politics aside, it's the painful legacy behind barr's tweet that makes it so harmful. >> comparing a black woman to an ape plays into

roseanne barr does not have a job. roseanne barr has shown these offensive statements. and samantha bee quite frankly has not. >> barr asked not to be compared with others who have said horrible things. i only care about apologizing for the hurt i have unwittingly and stupidly caused. >> igniting a debate about what slurs deserve more than just condemnation. >> thank you. >> president trump expecting the north korean top diplomat to hand deliver a letter to him from kim jong-un. this after another day of talks between kim's right hand man and secretary of state mike pompeo in new york city. did they bring the u.s. and north korea any closer to a summit? nbc's tracy potts is with us live from washington. good morning. >> closer, yes. done deal, no. president trump looking forward to getting the letter from kim jong-un personally hand delivered to the white house today. by his right hand man, the former spy chief, who has been in new york negotiating with our former spy chief secretary of state mike pompeo. see him there. pompeo says they're moving in the right direction,

firing of roseanne barr? >> sure.ediately thought, bizarrely enough, of going back 30 years to jimmy the greek. >> i think he had three or four glasses of wine for lunch. he said african-americans don't get these coaching jobs. he said they don't have the necessaries. i mean he was obviously making a statement about iq and all, but it was awful, and he was finished. then of course howard cosell who was great in so many ways and a good guy who made that comment about a monkey too. i think there's something in the brain with some of these people. >> my point is it's nothing new that you get fired for saying racist comments. >> people always do. anyway, the statement yesterday, the president's spokesperson, sarah huckabee sanders, wrote, the language used by samantha bee last night is vile and vicious. the collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling. back to you, liz. the silence of the lambs, in this case, president trump, was overwhelmingly silent. it was deafening, the silence. he didn't say jack

whether it's north korea or rosean roseanne, whoever.with a visual that really just could have worked to have hit donald trump in a different kind of way. this is a story that really started off with legs and i thought was going to have a really big impact. >> it still has legs. we're going to still report on this. >> i have no doubt that you'll still report on it, i just don't know in the scheme of things how much oxygen it will get within the public. >> which is really interesting, because we talk a lot, or people perceive the white house to be in this chaotic state. but when you look at things like immigration policy, it's incredibly important and tangible and actual things are happening in terms of this administration putting things forward in terms of policy. so, you know, if you are running for office, these are the kinds of things you might highlight, right? not to say that this isn't a constant state of chaos, but that this is an administration that's doing stuff and doing stuff like this. >> and real quickly, there are a group o
