Now, the far right and the alt-right are trying to stop the bleeding and defend a racist tweet.

鈥淩oseanne learned today, like most of us, that Valerie Jarret identifies as black. Surprise!鈥� conspiracy theorist and right-wing commentator Mark Dice tweeted.

Barr is known to traffic in conspiracy theories, racist tweets and questionable comments online, but the tweet that did her in showed former Obama assistant Valerie Jarrett side by side with an ape.

In response to a comment in an earlier tweet about Jarrett, Barr said: "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj."

Within hours, ABC had canceled the reboot of Barr鈥檚 show 鈥淩oseanne,鈥� which focused on a Chicago-area family and in which Barr played someone much like herself 鈥斅燼n outspoken supporter of Donald Trump.聽

(Despite the show鈥檚 cancellation, the Twitter account for the program remained online Wednesday. The last new tweet on the account was from Sunday night.)

Many people, including celebrities, politicians and commentators denounced Barr鈥檚 comparison. But among racists, the far right and the alt-right, the comedian, who has apologized, blamed the sleep aid Ambien and continued to retweet racist ideas, became a martyr and Jarrett became a point of mocking.

The general theme of tweets, pronouncements and posts on the alt-right social media site Gab were that Roseanne isn鈥檛 racist, the comments were accurate and ABC was wrong.

Many of Roseanne鈥檚 backers also denied that comparing Jarrett to a character from 鈥淧lanet of the Apes鈥� was racist, while overlooking historical comparisons made by white supremacists between black people and primates.

Pictures of Jarrett and the character from the movie side-by-side were popular memes among the far-right in the wake of the cancellation.

鈥淒id anyone even bother to look at the character on Planet of the Apes that聽聽was referring to? It wasn't a racist comment AT ALL! She actually looks exactly like the character. I looked it up and laughed so hard I almost pissed my pants. It's not racist, it's truth!鈥� tweeted Kelly Ellis (@Kellycal0426), who has tweeted and retweeted far-right ideas.

Singer Ted Nugent, a vocal Trump supporter and NRA board member, didn鈥檛 miss the opportunity to step into the fray.

鈥淪o Roseanne referencing a movie title is racist. Lying dishonest soulless freaks from Planet of the Apes,鈥� Nugent tweeted on Tuesday.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who has peddled some of the same debunked ideas as Barr, also came to her defense. Jones, who has been known to mock the victims of mass shootings, called for the comedian to push back.

鈥淗颈听, it鈥檚 time for you to strike back against these THOUGHT POLICE and really shake them up! You鈥檝e been on the show before and it鈥檚 time for you to come back on!聽,鈥� Jones tweeted Tuesday.

Paul Joseph Watson, an editor-at-large on Jones鈥� InfoWars, said there are 鈥渢otally different rules鈥� for conservatives.

鈥淢aybe if Roseanne had just lied about what she tweeted, blamed non-existent 鈥榟ackers鈥� and stuck to what was obviously a bogus excuse for weeks, the media would have immediately forgiven her. Oh I forgot, she's a conservative,鈥� Watson said in a tweet Tuesday night that Roseanne retweeted.

Daily Stormer editor and blogger Andrew Anglin, who frequently blames Jewish people for issues in the world, attacked Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, which owns ABC. Anglin noted that Iger is Jewish and the head of ABC鈥檚 entertainment division, Channing Dungey, is a black woman.

Even though Barr鈥檚 show is gone, her ideas are still floating around out there online. And, some even come from the family of the current occupant of the White House.

In the hours after the cancelation, Donald Trump, Jr., retweeted a claim by Barr that philanthropist and Democratic donor George Soros aided Nazis in finding Jews during World War II. That didn鈥檛 happen, but the lack of facts didn鈥檛 stop Barr from tweeting about it, nor stop Trump, Jr., from echoing the conspiracy theory.

For the alt-right, it鈥檚 all in the family.
