Roseanne Barr has been open about her political opinions, which include her ardent support for Donald Trump, for years. Back in 2023, the comedian went as far as describing him as a “mother bear” and as somebody who “wraps his arms around us.” While sharing how Trump helped her calm her nerves while meeting him, the comedienne said on the Real America’s Voice network:
“I lost control of myself. He so gently rearranged my arms. We all love you [Donald Trump] and pray for you, we know that you are the only one with balls.”
She went on to say:
“A dad bear, they’ll go out and kill all the others. That’s one thing and it’s cool. But Trump wraps his arms around us.”
Back in 2018, Barr also appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon to defend her support for Trump. She said while discussing the 2016 presidential election:
“I mean, everybody had to choose for themselves, according to their own conscience, who they felt was the lesser of two evils. This is America, it’s a free country, and you know, when you weigh it all together, you know. I just felt like we needed a whole new thing. All the way. Bottom to top.”
Before the Roseanne show’s cancellation, Trump confirmed in a speech in Ohio in 2018 that he had congratulated the star for her show’s revival.
Meanwhile, Trump supporters await his inauguration ceremony that is taking place on January 20.
