Roseanne Barr may be rebooting her classic sitcom, Roseanne, soon but one thing that hasn’t changed is her determination to be in the public eye thanks to her crazy brand of politics.

In the end, Barr falls back to the red meat she knows her new friends on the right can’t resist: A heaping dose of persecution complex topped with a big spoonful of nationalism.
