A day after the Roseanne reboot was canceled over a racist tweet from its creator, President Trump criticized ABC for failing to address the “HORRIBLE statements” said about him.
“Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that ‘ABC does not tolerate comments like those’ made by Roseanne Barr,” Trump tweeted Wednesday. “Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?”
Trump’s comments were the first time he weighed in on Roseanne Barr’s tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett: “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.”
