The comments come as the reboot of the popular 90s series, centered around a blue-collar family with Roseanne as a Donald Trump supporter, wraps up the season with only two more episodes to go after Tuesday night’s show dealing with immigration.
“Tonight’s show is about the impact of legal and illegal immigration on our family,” Barr tweeted.
