After repeated questioning by the press for a White House reaction, both US President Trump and Press Secretary let their light shine on what they felt would have been a righteous response by ABC and its parent company Disney, to the tweet made by Roseanne Barr which got her subsequently fired and her hit show, number one in the US viewers’ ratings, cancelled.

US President Donald Trump tweeted: “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?”

Meanwhile, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders echoed her boss’s remarks before claiming that the media is working with a "double standard."
Ms. Sanders stated that with his tweet the US President highlighted "the hypocrisy in the media saying the most horrible things about this president".

"Where was Bob Iger's apology to the White House staff for Jemele Hill calling the president and anyone associated with him a white supremacist? To Christians around the world for Joy Behar calling Christianity a mental illness? Where was the apology for Kathy Griffin going on a profane rant against the president on 'The View' after a photo showed her holding President Trump's decapitated head?"

"And where was Bob Iger for ESPN hiring Keith Olbermann after his numerous expletive tweets attacking the president as a Nazi and even expanding Olbermann's role after that attack against the president's family?"

Furthermore, several on social media are mentioning that Bill Maher has repeatedly claimed that the current US President is the love child of his mother with an orangutan, and his HBO network also seems to be fine with that.

Trump: "Iger, where is my call of apology? You and ABC have offended millions of people, and they demand a response. How is Brian Ross doing? He tanked the market with an ABC lie, yet no apology. Double Standard!"
Where was the firing of that POS maher when he called someone a house n****r!!
Trump should block everyone on his twatter feed as the vast majority is shitposting by libretards anyway. And the BS about muh Trump blocked me that the courts said they would have to be unblocked cause that's where he posts WH messages. Well I never twattered and I can see all his posts.
This double standard is ok cause the intelligent libs are starting to see right thru it and seem to think its unfair. Intelligent Libs = <5% so hopefully they can wake the libretards?
The only show most conservatives watched on ABC was Rosanne so a conservative boycott is almost guaranteed just by their programming.
BOYCOTT ABC! their obvious deep state hypocrisy is sickning! Their nothing more than a terrorist propaganda organization that shouldn't be allowed to operate in the US! They are a criminal organization that wants to destroy America. They should all be hung!
