LOS ANGELES -- Never one to avoid a chance to stir up some controversy, comedienne Roseanne Barr revealed Monday that her character on the TV show "Roseanne" will be a supporter of President Donald Trump when the show returns to the air in March.

According to Fox News, Barr said the decision to have the character support Trump was "realistic" and gives an insight into family dynamics in the U.S.

"I have always ... attempted to portray a realistic portrait of the American people and working class people. And, in fact, it was working class people that elected Trump so I felt that was very real and something that needed to be discussed," Barr said.

Barr admits she voted for Trump in the presidential election in 2016 and says she supports Trump even if she doesn't always agree with everything he does or says.

"Roseanne" has been off the air since 1997 following the show's original run of nine seasons. Last year, ABC announced the show would return for a reboot that will consist of 13 episodes.
