It’s no secret that Hollywood is overwhelming liberal, with celebrities frequently using their platform to blast Republicans and conservative principles. Most recently, far-left actress Meryl Streep used her platform at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards to blast President Trump and his electoral victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
While most in Hollywood are quick to bash President Donald J. Trump, one celebrity had the courage to stand up and defend our president from attacks on the left.
Legendary comedian Roseanne Barr took to Twitter Monday to defend the president, calling attacks on the president were really “disguised” attacks on the millions of American voters who supported Trump.
Every single attack on @POTUS is really a disguised attack on American voters who rejected Obama-Clinton-Bush’s bleeding of R treasury.

Throughout the 2016 campaign, Barr vocally spoke out in favor of then-candidate Trump, arguing that he was much better than Hillary Clinton. The famed Hollywood star told the Hollywood Reporter America “would be so lucky if Trump won. Because then it wouldn’t be Hillary” and explained why she liked his candidacy:
I like Trump because he financed his own [campaign]. That’s the only way he could’ve gotten that nomination. Because nobody wants a president who isn’t from Yale and Harvard and in the club. ‘Cause it’s all about distribution. When you’re in the club, you’ve got people that you sell to. That’s how money changes hands, that’s how business works. If you’ve got friends there, they scratch your back and blah, blah.
Roseanne is no stranger to politics, and sought the Green Party’s nomination for president in 2012, eventually losing out to eventual nominee Jill Stein. Barr then ran on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket that year with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan serving as her running mate.
It’s easy for most of Hollywood to attack President Trump, as their fellow celebrities will rush to their defense. Roseanne Barr’s decision to break with Hollywood and stand with our president took real courage, and likely will be met with strong blowback from her liberal colleagues.
Do you agree with Roseanne that attacks on President Trump are really an attack on the American people? Share your thoughts below!
good for Roseanne…who the hell cares about the “Hollywood elite”….
Way to go Roseanne!
WAY TO GO ROSEANNE!! GOOD ON YOU!
Roseanne when Trumps eight years are up you run for president and I will vote for you!!!!
Three cheers for Roseanne! Her point of view is much needed in the den of iniquity called Horrorwood.
About time someone from Hollywood shows some brains.
I have found a new appreciation for Roseanne Barr. It took a lot of courage to go against her peers. Congratulations to Roseanne. Maybe some others who have not been as vocal will follow her lead. She is in the minority of Trump supporters but there are quite a few. I wish some of them would speak up as well. The celebs that don’t like Trump are just pouting because they don’t get to party with the President like they did with Obama — which we paid for. Thank you Roseanne.
Checotypoo . . . do you even know the definition of idiot? Doubtful, since you apply it to a person who is by no means stupid. Much as I personally dislike Roseanne Barr, I can hardly, with any honesty whatsoever, lower my own integrity to that cesspool level. An idiot, no matter how well placed in the Liberal/Progressive scheme of bovine manure production, could hardly achieve the levels of success Roseanne has. Misguided though her perceptions of life and reality may be, she has an astute grasp of how to meaningfully put her own point across–something you assuredly lack. We should probably assume, since you are attacking Barr, that you consider yourself a Conservative. As if that made you some sort of a saint. WRONG, BUCKWHEAT. A Conservative is simply another fool, albeit on the opposite side of Satan’s playground, who, by his own choice of label has GIVEN his soul and service to Satan.
WAKE UP! DAMNFOOLS! tHEREIS STILL TIME TO DOUSE THE FLAMES OF YOUR OWN PERSONALLY CREATED HELL.

Do you need a hug? You can’t find good in anyone. You need to look deeper and see the heart and not judge. Ye without sin cast the first stone.
FYI MOUTH, ROSEANNE IS RIGHT ON! AND CHILD, YOUR SATAN, LIKE YOUR GOD AND HEAVEN, ONLY EXIST IN THE MINDS PF THE WORLD’S PROGRAMMED RELIGIOUS ROBOTS,.
NONE EXIST IN THE REAL WORLD AND IF THEY DID, NOT COUNTING THE MANY GODS OF THE HINDUS, THERE WOULD BE 25,000 DIFFERENT GODS.
My respect for Barr just went from -10 to +65, on a scale of 100. Courage and interest in the greater good. Trump as been known to trash her and here she is saying America must go forward with Trump and get the things done that he promised the normal American.
She’s an IDIOT!
Instead of shes an idiot, you should have said Im an idiot for thinking shes an idiot
Where did this story come from???
