WASHINGTON, DC: As the pulse of the 2024 US presidential election quickens, the battleground isn't just in the political arena but also online, where clashes between ardent supporters of Donald Trump and Joe Biden have become more inflamed by the day.
Among the latest to join this heated exchange are actress Roseanne Barr and filmmaker Rob Reiner.
Roseanne Barr and Rob Reiner's social media feud on Trump vs Biden
In a twist that no one saw coming, the social media battleground recently saw an exchange between two entertainment industry heavyweights -- Roseanne Barr and Rob Reiner.
The feud sparked when Reiner took to X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, "A vote for No Labels is a vote for Trump. A vote for Bobby Kennedy is a vote for Trump. A vote for Cornel West is a vote for Trump. A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump. The only vote not for Trump is a vote for Biden."
Barr was quick to counter the tweet, passionately affirming, "A vote for Biden is a vote for Iran. A vote for Biden is a vote for a China. A vote for Biden is a vote for war. The only vote for America is a vote for a Donald Trump."
Internet users weigh in on the feud between Roseanne Barr and Rob Reiner
The virtual spat didn't just stop there. It was the cue for a plethora of reactions from diverse corners of the internet.
Comments ranged from dismissive critiques to sarcastic jabs, with users expressing their take on the clash.
One individual advised, "Crawl back under that rock, Roseanne," while another wrote, "Sounds like Reiner will need lots of comfort food."
In a different vein, a user pointed out, "The way Roseanne Barr smokes Rob Reiner in his own comments should be studied," while someone else bluntly stated, "A vote for Trump is a vote for Trump and no one else."
Adding to the mix, another commentator remarked, "Roseanne, no wonder they got rid of you, the Connors is so much better without your stupidity."
Roseanne Barr's vocal support for Trump isn’t a recent development
Barr’s vocal support for Trump is not a recent development. The former actress recently recounted meeting Trump, praising his embrace and describing him as someone who provides reassurance in nerve-racking situations, as per Newsweek.
Barr's advice to “fix” Trump, shared during a segment on Real America's Voice network, revealed her perception of him as needing to embrace more levity and connection with the public.
However, Barr’s journey hasn’t been devoid of controversy. Previously, she faced backlash for racially charged remarks about White House aide Valerie Jarrett, resulting in her dismissal from the reboot of her sitcom 'Roseanne', later resurrected as 'The Connors'.
Barr's recent comments on a podcast with Donald Trump Jr, where she suggested that Jewish and Black individuals were "mind controlled", added fuel to the ongoing controversy.
Despite her attempt at a career resurgence through 'The Roseanne Barr Podcast', Barr faced criticism and even contemplated quitting YouTube, a platform showcasing her podcast, within months of its launch.
