BTR News – Roseanne Barr apparently isn’t sorry for her racist comparison of Valerie Jarret to apes. In a Tweet that mischaracterizes the plot of the book and film series Planet Of The Apes, Barr now claims her tweet was about “anti-semitism” and wrongly credits the work of fiction to Rod Serling most known for his work on the Twilight Zone.
