Do you want more Trump? Because crap like this from journalist and best-selling author Molly Knight is how you get more Trump:
Roseanne’s network wanted to showcase the average Trump voter. And that’s exactly what they got.

Because the average Trump voter is an unhinged, anti-Semitic, bigoted racist. Is that what you’re going with, Molly? Because we’re pretty sure it’s not gonna work out well for you.
You should really get to know some Trump voters. It would significantly improve your perspective.

And mess up her narrative? She’ll pass, thank you very much.
Uh, Trump’s own son retweeted Roseanne. Her tweets are very on-brand for the base.

Molly I understand why u feel that way. Roseanne messed up big time. I assure u not all of us Trump supporters agree with Roseanne ?

Trump started his political campaign on the lie that Barack Obama isn’t a US citizen. He continues to push racist and unhinged conspiracy theories. His own son retweeted Roseanne today. I don’t see any difference between the two except one is president.

Never mind that a lot of voters held their noses when they cast their votes for Trump because they saw Hillary Clinton as the greater of two evils. They must’ve been racist conspiracy theorists, the whole lot of them!
The vast majority of conservatives I've seen today have condemned Roseanne's remarks. Instead of acknowledging that and focusing on her, you smeared 60M people by associating them w/ her bigotry.
That generates the same kind of resentment that produced Trump. h/t @kris_kinder https://t.co/i3bdI7i86n
