And on top of that, no Melissa McCarthy/Chris Farley style fat humor? She's clearly tapped into something. It's a shame she's gotten the Chapelle treatment where 'they''ve been able to put her in a box. But anytime she gets the chance to say something in a forum other than a 3 minute spot promoting a show on late night tv, it's always fascinating.
Yea, she did tap into the angry white rustbelt family. Problem is urban and suburban and rural blacks STILL get hurt worse on average by the economy and justice system.
Show me the episode of "Chapelle" that made fun of her? She'd deserve it, but I don't remember a skit of his show singling her out.
And what is wrong with the Chapelle Show anyway? I hope you aren't going to bring up the "reverse racism" bullshit.

Most sitcoms are shot in Hollywood , which has long been pro gay. Married with Children was a very sexist sitcom, but even it had an episode where Al was getting advice from a gay man.
Rosanne is not a republican. You'll probably recognize a lot of her positions.
^^^^^^ THAT may have been then, but SHE DID VOTE FOR TRUMP

Trump ran with an anti LGBT VP, so if she really does support LGBT she basically said to her own friends, "FUCK YOU"...
