Comedian and former presidential candidate Roseanne Barr blasted “Jew hater” Hillary Clinton and her “filthy Nazi” advisors on social media this week, arguing that if Clinton were to win the presidency in November, it would mean the “death of Israel.”
In a series of Twitter posts, the 63-year-old Roseanne star blasted Clinton for surrounding herself with “anti-Semitic” advisers including Huma Abedin and Sidney Blumenthal.
“[H]illary Clinton is surrounded by jew haters who make fun of the holocaust & jewish suffering yet her mkultra supporters call Trump a bigot!” Barr tweeted.

The comedian also suggested that a Clinton presidency would mean “the death of Israel” and said the Democratic candidate would sell nuclear weapons to Hamas if the “price is right.”

Barr also went after top Clinton aide Huma Abedin over her apparent connection to the anti-Semitic Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, for which she served as an assistant editor for more than a decade.
“Huma is a Nazi & Hillary loves Nazis,” she tweeted in a post that appears to have since been deleted but was captured by the Jerusalem Post.
The comedian later sarcastically apologized for calling Abedin a “filthy whore,” saying it was “politically incorrect” to do so.

Barr has been an outspoken supporter of Israel and a fierce critic of Hillary Clinton. The sitcom star has previously referred to Clinton as the “same old sh*t,” and blasted supporters of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement as “naked bigots.”
Barr has also defended Republican candidate Donald Trump, including in a pair of tweets on Saturday.

The comedian has previously said that America would be “so lucky” if Trump were elected president, because “then it wouldn’t be Hillary.” Still, Barr later said that she had not endorsed Trump and would be writing in her own name on ballots every year until she wins.
