White House: āNo One Is Defendingā What Roseanne Barr Said, Butā¦
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday called Roseanne Barrās racist tweet āinappropriateā and said āno one is defendingā the comments before reading a prepared statement calling out media personalities for not apologizing to the White House for attacks on President Donald Trump.
āThe President is simply calling out the media bias, no one is defending what she said,ā Sanders said. āThe President is the President of all Americans and heās focused on doing what is best for our country.ā
In response to news that ABC had cancelled the āRoseanneā reboot and called the Obama administration officials whom Barr attacked ā Valerie Jarrett ā to apologize for Barrās tweet, Trump made the debacle about
him.
In a smug tweet, Trump questioned why the CEO of Disney (which owns ABC) had not called him to apologize for all the āHORRIBLEā things ABC had said about him.
