Roseanne Barr Whines That Her Democrat Kids and Family Have Cut Her Off, ‘They Won’t Talk to Me!’

What did you expect, Rosie?

Ah, Newsmax. The network of last resort for the conservatives beset on all sides with persecution from the “liberal media.”

That’s where we find Roseanne Barr lately. During an interview, the 71-year-old former superstar comedian lamented the political leanings of her family. Her support of Trump has apparently driven them all away from her.

I’m afraid, Roseanne, that it says more about your willingness to just give them up in favor of Donald Trump, a convicted felon. She spoke to the Newsmax host (who name I thankfully don’t even know — I caught this interview in the form of a clip on X from MeidasTouch editor Ron Filipkowski) as he consoled her about the “loss” of her family to politics.

“They’re my kids. I still have Democrat kids, oh God, help me, and my mom too is still a Democrat,” she wailed. “We’ve gotta convert ’em, Roseanne,” offered the host.

“I have tried like hell — and my brother, my gay brother, my gay sister. They’re all, you know — I tried like hell and now they don’t even talk to me. I try to text them and they don’t take my texts.” Remorselessly, she sneers, “Whatever!”

“Roseanne, we still love you here at Newsmax,” replied the host.

Of course, maybe she sees a little of herself in Donald Trump. She’s talked before about the first time she ever met him, and even used language like he used in the infamous Access Hollywood tape from before his first election:

“I went in there and I just, I grabbed at him, you know, and he was so nice!” she said. “He just kind of gently rearranged my arm so nicely. And afterwards I thought, ‘Oh my God, I could have got shot!’ The way I was grabbing at him with the Secret Service. I was like, ‘Oh, I love you!’ But, you know, I can’t control myself. I just flipped out.”

That sounds an awful lot like a certain guy who, when he sees a pretty woman, he just starts kissing. He doesn’t even wait, just kiss. And when you’re a star, they let you do it.

Watch the train wreck of an interview:
