ROSEANNE Barr spoke out relatively unapologetically about the vile Valerie Jarrett tweet that got her Roseanne reboot cancelled, saying, “I thought the b**ch was white!”
In a video posted to Barr’s YouTube page, a slightly dishevelled Barr, 65, smokes a cigarette while talking to a producer about a previous video that was thoroughly edited.

ROSEANNE’S BIZARRE VIDEO
After a loud groan, an agitated Barr lashes out at her interviewer when asked about her now-notorious tweet in which she claimed the former Barack Obama adviser was a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes.
“I’m trying to talk about Iran! I’m trying to talk about Valerie Jarrett about the Iran deal,” Barr roars in the clip.
“That’s what my tweet was about. I thought the b**ch was white, goddammit. I thought the b**ch was white. F**k!”
The tweet got the Roseanne reboot cancelled on May 29, after which Barr was initially extremely contrite and blamed Ambien for her scathing commentary.
Barr previously claimed that her tweet was a commentary on anti-Semitism, writing, “Rod Serling wrote Planet of The Apes. It was about anti-Semitism. That is what my tweet referred to — the anti Semitism of the Iran deal. Low IQ ppl can think whatever they want.”
She also said her tweet was “insensitive” but “not racist.”
