LOS ANGELES — Roseanne Barr[1] has told Sean Hannity in her first televised interview that she’s sorry for a racist tweet that led to the cancellation of her hit ABC series and insists she is not racist.
The comedian appeared on Hannity’s prime-time show on Fox News on Thursday night in a wide-ranging interview that focused on the damage of her tweet about Valerie Jarrett[2], a former adviser to President Barack Obama.
Hannity repeatedly urged Barr[3] to apologize to Jarrett[4] on air. The comedian eventually did, saying that she was sorry for her “ill-worded tweet” and said she would tell Jarrett[5] that she is sorry “that you feel harm and hurt.”
She repeated her assertion that she did not know Jarrett[6] was black when she likened Jarrett[7] to a cross between the Muslim Brotherhood and a “Planet of the Apes” actor.Copyright © 2018 The Washington Times, LLC. ...
