Donald Trump Jr. retweeted a conspiracy theory promoted by Roseanne Barr saying in part that Democratic mega-donor George Soros was a Nazi.
The retweets from the president’s eldest son come after Barr issued a string of tweets on Monday falsely claiming Chelsea Clinton was married to Soros’s nephew and that Soros’s goal was to overthrow the U.S. government.
“Sorry to have tweeted incorrect info about you!I Please forgive me! By the way, George Soros is a nazi who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps & stole their wealth-were you aware of that? But, we all make mistakes, right Chelsea?” Barr tweeted on Tuesday morning.
“Soros’ goal; the overthrow of us constitutional republic by buying/backing candidates 4 local district attorney races who will ignore US law & favor ‘feelings’ instead-and call everyone who is alarmed by that ‘racist’,” she wrote in another tweet.

The Roseanne saga tells us something about the Trump era & how its defining deviancy down hurts us all. Edgy & contrarian — good things which we need more of in our overcautious mainstream infotainment complex — has been altered to mean ugly, hateful, & just flat-out crazy.

Last week: Roseanne really connects to Trump voters and speaks to them in a way you elites just don’t get. That’s why he called her.
This week: You Never Trumpers are just crazy and obsessive to draw any connection between Trump and the disgraceful racist he was congratulating.
