Roseanne Barr Compares Jewish People to Egyptian Pharaohs in Antisemitic Barb: They ‘Also Inbreed’ | Video

The comedian’s comments come six months after she drew widespread backlash for remarks about the Holocaust

Roseanne Barr, after previous backlash and job-affecting consequences over antisemitic comments and a racist tweet, all of which she has defended as jokes, continued the practice in a recent appearance on Bill Maher’s “Club Random.”

Barr, in a meandering and seemingly serious discussion with Maher about the families and offspring of ancient Egyptian pharaohs, suddenly dropped a reference to Jewish people, saying they inbreed.

“I believe that something affects you after thousands of years of inbreeding,” Barr said, referencing the pharaohs. “… That DNA thing is different from other humans, except the Jews, which also inbreed.”

Barr, after a moment of silence, wrote the comment off as a joke, saying, “No, I’m kidding.”
