Roseanne Barr retweeted a negative comment about former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett wanting to chase “Israelis and Jews” into the sea following the cancellation of her show over a racist tweet about Jarret.

“You didn’t cause any pain. Those people always hated you. Valerie Jarrett wants Israelis and Jews chased into the sea, and she’ll celebrate,” the Barr follower tweeted Tuesday that was retweeted by the comedian.

The comments came shortly after the 65-year-old actress vowed to “make restitution for the pain she caused” after ABC canceled the popular reboot last week.

It was her first comments about the show’s cancellation since she had tweeted that once again she was sorry and would be leaving Twitter “for a while.”

“I end by offering everyone involved one more apology and prayers for healing of our divided nation. Tomorrow is Shabbat and I will continue to pray that everything for everyone goes forward & ends well for all. signing off twitter for a while. love u guys,” the “Roseanne” star tweeted after ABC fired her over the “abhorrent, repugnant” comment.
