Comedian/actress Roseanne Barr got into it with Fox Nation host Piers Morgan on Monday, yelling at him during the interview after he rebuked her when she asserted that Ukraine is loaded with Nazis and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy isn’t a “good” Jew.
Morgan questioned Barr on recent comments where she appeared to claim no one died in the Holocaust. Some out there unsurprisingly interpreted her remarks as Holocaust denial when they sounded more like sarcasm.
“Have we gone mad, Roseanne, in our world? When I look at all the fallout to the things that you say or do. I look at the apoplexy that people bring to jokes, to humor, to sarcasm, to irony, and I really despair — the very essence of comedy, for example, is being expunged from human life,” Morgan declared.

“Yes, it is,” Barr candidly responded. “Well you should despair, Piers and so should anybody who has a brain or any humanity whatsoever or any connection to any other human beings on earth, they should despair too.”
“I’m a targeted individual.”

She then went on to say that people are “weaponizing stupidity” and they can’t handle satire either.
Barr has made a comeback with a comedy special airing on Fox Nation. And millions love her blunt comedic approach. But she took extreme exception to her colleague pushing back on her claims about Ukraine.
The incensed comedian accused the media of spreading “bullsh*t” in connection to a previous segment of Morgan’s show about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Barr said it almost gave her “a heart attack.”
“I’m about to go crazy sitting here on the earphone hearing the stuff you all are saying about the Ukraine!” she angrily asserted.
Barr then claimed Ukraine is filled with Nazis, “I’m from the Ukraine, there is a large faction of Nazis.”
“I don’t know if you know this, but there’s a large amount of Nazis in the Ukraine and they actually killed my whole family,” she claimed.
Barr also said her grandparents and their siblings were marched out “into the forest and buried alive in the Ukraine.”
She added that she doesn’t “understand” why people are supporting Ukraine, before saying she actually does understand, “and that’s what terrifies me.”

“People better wake up and do some research on their own instead of buying what comes across on the screen and I try to shake them up, Piers — you’re goddamn right I do. I try to shake them up and crack their mind-control programming. I do it for God!!!” Barr declared.
Morgan demurred, stating that he doesn’t believe Ukraine is filled with Nazis.
“You haven’t seen the swastikas on the soldiers’ arm bands!?” Barr screamed at him.
Morgan then pointed out that Zelenskyy himself is Jewish.
“I know, but he’s not a good one!” Barr yelled. “Are all Jews the same for God’s sake? Talk about antisemitic! Just cause the guy’s a Jew doesn’t mean he likes Jews or that he is doing anything good for the Jews! Just cause they’re skin folk, don’t mean they’re kin folk.”
“You know what I mean? Just cause they’re the same color as you don’t mean they ain’t trying to lock your a** up. Wake up people — snap outta it!” Barr shouted.
