Jerry Seinfeld is weighing in on the Roseanne Barr controversy, calling her being fired from her eponymous sitcom “overkill.”
“I don’t even know why they had to do that,” Seinfeld told USA Today Monday at an event to promote his Netflix series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. “It seemed like, you don’t need to murder someone that’s committing suicide. I thought the firing was overkill. She’s already dead.”
Ok… so it’s not a COMPLETE defense. He’s just like “why kick a dead horse?”
We all know where this is going.
I apologize for what’s about to happen to you in advance, Jerry

I feel like Seinfield is a closet racist like he has always given me that vibe.

No one cares what Seinfeld thinks,he had a racist on his show,remember Kramer(Michel Richards)? Remember his incident?So what he has to say means nothing.

Jerry Seinfeld just wants his friends to be able to make horrible jokes about black people in peace.

When we DON’T nip in the bud, we get Trump & his followers (Roseanne included) who think it’s fine being racist. ABC did the right thing.
