Mueller acted correctly in the investigation despite con ext t exteextent constant comments from the preside president. And the secretary of state meeting with a former spy chief in new york. Good morning, im dave briggs. Ambien is trending at 5 00 a. M. Eastern time. I know. Im one. Wednesday, may 30th im christine romans. Wednesday, may 30th. 5 00 a. M. In the east. A stunning fall for one of hollywoods most successful comedy comebacks. Roseanne barr fired and her sitcom canceled after this racist twitter rant. Network executives woke up to this yesterday Muslim Brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby, v. J. And v. J. Is Valerie Jarrett, a top adviser to president obama. Another tweet retweeted by donald trump jr. , roseanne wrote that liberal billionaire philanthropist george soros is a nazi who turned in fellow jews to be murdered in concentration camps. Trump jr. Retweets saying it was not ant semitic. The false antisemitic. The false rumor has been debunked. After the rant she said she was quitting twitter and apologized. Boy, she reemerged late night in a big way dont feel sorry for me, guys. I apology to the hundreds of people and writers, all liberal, and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet. That was the beginning. She retweeted people defending her and apologized again including twice to Valerie Jarrett. She said she was ambien tweeting and is tired of being attacked and belittled unlike other comedians who said worse. Roseannes coworkers reacting quickly to the decision to shut down production. Actress emmy kenney who played roseannes granddaughter tweeted se was in the process of quitting when she learned the show was canceled. And producer wanda sykes tweeted she was done with the show about 90 minutes before abc pulled the plug. Roseannes longtime producing partner, tom werner, whose company owns the nowcanceled sitcom says he hopes roseanne seeks the help she so clearly needs. And this from alarie from Valerie Jarrett. First of all, i think we have to turn it into a teaching moment. Im fine. Im worried about people who dont have a circle of friends and followers who come right to their defense. The person walking down the street, minding their own, but and see someone cling to a purse or walking down the street. The ordinary examples of racism that happen every single day. President trump publicly supported roseannes show when it made a debut. Last night at a rally he never mentioned it. And roseanne still tweeting. I cannot keep up she did not stop overnight. She tweeted in the last 15 minutes. From washington, politics digital director zach wolf and twitter analyst like rest of us in 2018. Is it to believe to separate President Trump from Roseanne Barr . You have a mccollum this on cnn. Com you have a column on this on cnn. Com posting in an hour. Theres a big difference between the things she tweeted, i think certainly, and the support that she had for him and the show. Although the show was built around that. I think its important, however, to compare the backlash that she faced and consequences she faced with some of the consequences he faced when he announced his run for president. He said mexicans were rapists. There was an immediate backlash amongst hollywood, Corporate America. Macys dropped his clothing line. The pga removed events from his courses. There was a huge backlash. He weathered it, stayed where he was, and now hes president. Its kind of an interesting, i think, way to look at it. You can compare the two backlashes. Yeah, Nbc Universal dropped him at the time, that was in 2015. Then two years later, he was inaugurated. The difference is Corporate America can very quickly move on Roseanne Barr and cancel a very popular show that some have said is sort of a proxy for a trump viewing audience. The trump supporters. But donald trump keeps his job. Thats right. Gets a new job given to him by the people. Im not sure what lesson to take out of that. But its you know, you have to notice it, i think. Heres what i cant figure out, zach. Everything is tribal today, we know that. Every issue gets people a reason to run to their corners. I thought we all agreed on the fact that racism was flatout wrong. Why in the hell is this tribal . Why are people standing up and defending her right to say awful, deplorable, racist things . Why is this making people run to their corners . Shouldnt we agree on this . How can you be polarized about racism . The people you see doing the defending, thats on twitter which is kind of an anonymous place for people, for the trolls. I think you have to separate trolls from actual human beings. Theres a big difference there. And somebody whos saying that stuff in public versus somebody whos tweeting about it. Lets talk about donald trump jr. As somebody who is retweeting stuff on here that is this all started, a little bit complicated, Roseanne Barr was in this fight on twitter with Chelsea Clinton saying she is married to a nephew of george soros. Clinton said, no, im sure the soros people are nice, but im not married to a nephew of george soros, then she tweets, sorry to have tweeted Incorrect Information about you, meaning Chelsea Clinton. Please forgive me. By the way, george soros is a nazi who turned in fellow jews who would face death in concentration camps. All completely, completely wrong. He was a child he was 9 when the hastert start when the holocaust started. All of this is wrong. And donald trump jr. Retweeted it. See, give still its still up. Its giving oxygen to this just garkage. That garbage. That is other that is part of political discourse. Lets not innoculate donald trump sr. From spreading conspiracy theories. He does plenty of that. He did it in a rally last night in nashville. Hes setting the pace here. Hes setting the example on that. And his son has clearly taken the ball and run with it on this and many other things. Hes been in the Twitter Space retweeting things he probably shouldnt. Conspiracy theories live on regardless of whether they are true or false. And that you can also look at with the russia investigation. With this whole spygate notion, that republican trey gowdy, who has seen the classified documents on spygate or the embedded source or whatever you want to call it, the confidential source. Heres what trey gowdy said last ni night on fox news about why the investigation began. I am even more convinced that the fbi does exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got, and that it has nothing to do with donald trump. President trump himself in the comey memos said if anyone connected with my campaign was working with russia, i want you to investigate it. And it sounds to me like that is exactly what the fbi did. I think when the president finds out what happened, hes going to be not just fine, hes going to be glad that we have an fbi that took seriously what they heard. He was never the target. Russia is the target sounds to me as okay, you saw the time there, just after 7 00 p. M. About an hour later, the president went on stage in nashville and talked again about people infiltrating our campaign. To trey gowdys point, will the president be thankful why this investigation was started and agree with the republican . I cant imagine the president s going to be thankful. There have already been, you know, guilty pleas, there have been indictments. His former Campaign Chairman i dont think President Trump is ever going to read a report. Who knows what it will say. Thats part of this. We dont know ultimately what Robert Mueller will come up with. I cant imagine hes going to read something and say, oh, this was okay, especially after he spent the last year plus calling it a witch hunt. Essentially trying to tear it down before it happened, after he went after comey. He fired comey and people under him at the time. Its like you cant come back from that and be okay at this point. You cant spend that long trying to tear something down and then build it back up. That doesnt make sense. Come back in a few minutes. Well talk about your column that will post in a few minutes and all the news of the day. Thank you, sir. Thanks. Lets switch now to international issues. The meeting that could make or break the trumpkim summit in singapore. Secretary of state mike pompeo sitting down today or tomorrow in new york with kim yong chol, one of north koreas highest ranking officials and former spy chief.
