Mo'Nique Defends Roseanne Over Racist Tweet 'Mistake': She's Not Racist

RadioOnFire.com - Mo'Nique recently shared her thoughts on Roseanne Barr's tweet about former Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, and Mo'Nique believes that Roseanne made a mistake.

She explained, “We’ve all said and done things baby that we wish we could take back and swallow and say, ‘Oh.’ But when you’re in the public eye, you can’t and it’s out there. But to put the title of ‘racist’ on her…

“My sister made a mistake and she said something I know she wishes she could take back. But what I would ask is we don't throw her away.”

Mo'Nique went on to share a story about Roseanne showing her love and support when she had the "Mo'Nique Show," which you can hear more about in the above video.

Mo'Nique acts as if Roseanne's twitter comment was the first verbal infraction.

Roseanne Barr’s tweet referencing Jarrett, who she said is what you’d get if the “muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby,” was not the first time the Roseanne star has made racist comments toward black women. In 2013, Barr said former National Security Advisor Susan Rice was a “big man with swinging ape balls” in a since-deleted tweet.

Roseanne has also made Islamophobic comments, including an attack on former Hillary Clinton adviser Huma Abedin, whom she called a “jew hater” and “filthy nazi whore” in 2016, according to The Daily Beast.
