In the reboot, however, Barr made her character a Trump supporter.
In an interview with The Times this week, Barr said she wanted to portray a fan of the president so there would be “an accurate portrayal of these people and people like them…in terms of what they think, and how they feel.”
“I just wanted to have that dialogue about families torn apart by the election and their political differences of opinion and how we handle it. I thought that this was an important thing to say at this time,” she said.
Barr herself has also come out as a Trump supporter in several recent interviews.
She took to Twitter earlier this week to thank her fans for the warm reception to the reboot.
“I am so grateful to the fans of the Roseanne show for giving it a good Premiere rating,” she wrote. “You are all wonderful-here is to making America laugh & talk again! LOVE U.”
