Part of the hype of the show’s return is that Barr’s character Roseanne Conner is a Trump supporter and that different members of the family have different political beliefs.
After discussing her brief stint in politics, Barr explained like in the show, there were some people in her family were pro-Hillary and others like herself who were pro-Trump and that there was "a lot of fighting."
"Weren’t you a friend, like a good friend, of
Perennial Presidential Campaigner Hillary Crooked HillaryClinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as
the smartest woman in the world,usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away...
’s at one point?" Kimmel asked.
"Yeah, I was," Barr responded. "I had some disagreement with her foreign policy."
Kimmel said he was "shocked" that for someone as socially liberal as herself would support Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
"I’m still the same! You all moved," Barr shot back. "You all went so f‐kin far out, you lost everything. I mean seriously, a lot of your audience, including me... a lot of us, no matter who we voted for, we don’t want to see our president fail, you know? Because we don’t want Pence."
She then pressed Kimmel about whether he wanted the vice president as our president.
"You want Pence for the frickin president?" Bar asked.
"Oh, no," Kimmel responded.
"Then you zip that f**kin lip!" Barr demanded.
| How shocking — common sense on late night television! |
Barr told Kimmel that one of her daughters was "weeping" after the election and she told her to "just chill!"
"Try to think positive for like why people wanted a change," Barr elaborated. "It’s up to the people, here’s my two cents damn it, it’s up to us to make this government work, no matter who’s president. It’s up to us to do our jobs as citizens and if we don’t like something, you know, let them know you don’t like it and then you’ve got another election in two years. Get out there and vote. Change it if you don’t like it."
