Trump-Supporter Roseanne Barr Once Posed as Hitler Pulling Burnt People Cookies Out of an Oven

18 million Americans watched the reboot of “Roseanne” this week, but how many would have if they had known the Trump-supporting 65-year old real life Roseanne Barr once dressed up as Hitler – complete with mustache – and pretended to pull burnt cookies in the shape of people out of an oven?
The images, originally shot for a magazine about Jewish culture in 2009 were made famous by a Fox News article drawing attention to the highly-controversial photos.
The analogy to Hitler – who burnt and gassed millions of Jews, and was ultimately responsible for the deaths of over 50 million civilians, prisoners of war, and soldiers – is unmistakeable.
Like her old show, those photos have resurfaced.
Among those drawing attention to them is noted journalist Kurt Eichenwald, a New York Times best-selling author, MSNBC contributor, and Vanity Fair contributing editor. He notes members of his family were burned to death by the Nazis.
1. This is so horrible, I have trouble believing it is real. Everything I find says it is. @therealroseanne: If u did this, one of your “cookies” can represent my great-aunt. She was stripped naked, sent to a gas chamber and burned. @RoseanneOnABC: If this is real, get canceled.. pic.twitter.com/MLXOXFUtxQ

2…or perhaps, @therealroseanne, it can represent my father-in-laws family, murdered in Auschwitz. Or, if you have a small cookie, it can represent Antosh, little brother of my mother in law who was murdered in Auschwitz as well at the age of 11. Here’s his photo. Laugh it up. pic.twitter.com/VeTTr9xytd

Eichenwald goes on to say, “I learned from @foxnews. The photo is real. @therealroseanne burned cookies looking like people in an oven while dressed as Adolph Hitler. I am actually crying. I think of the anguish of my family, of my in-laws. I think of this little boy, Antosh. One of Roseanne’s cookies.”
Indeed, in 2009, Fox News reported, “Comedian Roseanne Barr has seriously pushed the bar with a new photo spread that depicts her as a domesticated version of Adolf Hitler for Jewish humor magazine Heeb.”
“At her request, Heeb photographed Barr wearing the infamous Hitler moustache and a swastika, holding and preparing to take a bite of what the article refers to as ‘burnt Jew cookies.'”
Heeb magazine is no longer in print but is still online.
Earlier this week Barr came under fire for tweeting “NAZI SALUTE” to Parkland student survivor David Hogg, apparently in reponse to a doctored photo spread by the right that appeared to show him giving a Nazi salute. He did no – it was just one of many false and vile attacks against the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school students.
ICYMI Roseanne replied to a David Hogg conspiracy theorist who tagged the actual boy, but then ABC made her delete it. Don’t worry, here’s a screenshot: pic.twitter.com/yftDrSdq6b

On social media, as the news of Barr’s Hitler costume and cookies spreads, some are expressing outrage:
@ABCNetwork if you keep Roseanne Barr on your network, I will never watch ABC again. She is a nazi sympathizer and displays her abhorrent behavior for all to see. If you keep her, then your network is guilty by association.

Roseanne disrespects the flag, gives Nazi salute on Twitter to Parkland survivor, dresses like Hitler, serves burnt Jew cookies. Outrage?

I am now embarrassed that I watched the show on Tuesday night. It is permanently off my DVR now as these pictures and her tweets have made me sick to my stomach. #RoseanneNazi

People should stop comparing “Roseanne” to “All in the Family”. Difference is Carol O’Connor was not Archie Bunker in real life he was a liberal. Rosanne IS “Rosanne” in real life. Repulsive bigot Nazi. Oh and she(her writers) are no Norman Lear.
