President Trump again asks for apology from Disney chief after ‘Roseanne’ cancellation

President Donald Trump is continuing to react to the controversy over the cancellation of “Roseanne,” which was taken off the air May 29 after lead actress Roseanne Barr posted offensive and racist tweets. President Trump on May 31 repeated his complaint that Disney chief Bob Iger has not apologized to him for anti-Trump comments made by ABC personalities, something he believes is a double standard since Iger got in touch with Valerie Jarrett, the former top aide to President Barack Obama who was the target of Barr’s racist comments. Jarrett said Iger called her before announcing that ABC, which is owned by Disney, was pulling the plug on “Roseanne.” “Iger, where is my call of apology?” Presidnet Trump tweeted. “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!” President Trump is referring to ABC News reporter Brian Ross, who was suspended after making an error in a report last year when he said President Trump had directed his national security adviser, Michael Flynn, to make contact with the Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign.
