I don't understand why people think that tweeting is the same as chatting down the pub with your mates. Its not private.
Its the equivalent of standing in the middle of westminster square with a megaphone.

Guilty, of telling a joke that is not remotely funny.

She then blames it on the Ambien, good on the drug manufacturer to point out that racism is not a recognised side affect. And she has a history of this. After she was criticised for insulting the national anthem she played the sympathy card by "revealing" she was sexually abused as a child. Whilst this is dreadful it had nothing to do with her faux pas.

As the OP says I feel sorry for the many people she has put out of work.

One more point

She is stupid but it is a shame as the programme actually touches on problems which are happening now, immigration, illegal workers, healthcare etc. From the US comedy series I've seen there are few that do that (other than cartoons).

'Lies to the masses as are like fly's to mollasses...they want more and more and more'

Its not just a single comment that got her the sack, its a multitude of tweets prior to this one, and as you note, she cant stop tweeting after the fact, blaming everyone else.

She is hardcore Right, she used to retweet all sorts of things, including the one about Hilary clinton operation a child p*** ring out of a pizza store in Washington (a guy actually went to the place with a gun and threatened people because of it), as well as constantly insisted Obama was not born in the USA.

She continued with her conspiracy theory tweets which caused much controversy, as the reboot aired.

This was just the final straw.

Strangely enough, she ran of election under the green part a few years back and was actually a bit of a lefty herself, but i guess something changed.

Honestly though, if you look at Valerie Jarrett, you wouldnt guess she was black, maybe latin or Middle eastern. But still dumb insulting thing to say regardless.

Interesting though, how the first 2 episodes of the reboot hit 18M viewers, which is around the time people started drawing attention to her crazy tweets, then numbers dropped through the floor to around 10M 4 weeks later, and now finally it is no more.

Feel sorry for the production staff who are out of a job through no fault of their own.

She's not black, she's African American (to use their terminology). We would say she's mixed race, or her parents are/were.

I read that last episode had the highest rating of any TV show on that week also. The premier of it got over 25m viewers altogether.

Optimistic as ever

I always thought she was Porcine, . . .

I disengage, I turn the page.
