Bill Maher is the latest to voice his opinion on Roseanne Barr‘s Twitter scandal that led to the cancellation of her ABC sitcom Roseanne.
The Real Time with Bill Maher host addressed his “friend” on Friday night with a series of jokes touching on her, President Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian West.
“I was a tough week for the line,” Maher began. “You know the line? The one that comedians sometimes cross.
”“Half the country wants Roseanne to go away forever and half the country wants Samantha Bee to go away forever,” he continued.
“Now, Roseanne will always be my friend but her world came crashing down this week with a series of tweets she put out on Tuesday that were so full of racism, conspiracy theories and personal attacks they were described as abhorrent bordering on presidential.”
Maher also brought up Barr’s, 65, multiple personality disorder, which she revealed in 1994.
“My friend Roseanne admitted that she had been admitted to a mental institution,” Maher said on Friday’s show. “She has said she has multiple personalities and, unfortunately, one of them is quite a racist.”
He added, “It is not a mystery to me that a person with a mental illness could be taken in by a party that has lost its mind.”
