One of the best parts of the Trump era is watching how internet and Hollywood cultures react when a big megaphone wielding celebrity steps outside of progressive boundaries.

Roseanne Barr has always been that person, to a certain extent, the difference is that now, she’s outside of the Hollywood mainstream and seems to enjoy needling everyone else who, in her view, has shifted leftward while she’s stayed put.



Friday, Roseanne poked fun at the media and everyone following the Stormy Daniels story with baited breath:

follow @StormyDaniels so u can stay informed of what's important in our country! thanks! — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 3, 2018

Because if network news is a gauge of national priorities, you’d certainly think a porn star claiming to have had an affair with the president was of utmost national importance.

Roseanne’s right! @StormyDaniels is more important than the Flint water crisis, the national debt, imminent peace with North Korea, the unemployment rate, homeless veterans, starving children… https://t.co/mnwrnkGYIO — Richard Armande Mills (RAM) (@RAMRANTS) May 3, 2018

The reactions were pretty great:

right? cnn's big star attraction — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 3, 2018

It’s funny but we never got to meet Monica Lewinski’s lawyer. How come that bastard wasn’t on CNN non-stop for a year? — chairman mow (@Chairmnoomowmow) May 4, 2018

Actually I do follow her and like her. She's saving this country, which is more than anyone can say of you, Roseanne. — The Frozen Chihuahua (@ArizonaEnema) May 4, 2018
