Disgraced actor Roseanne Barr created a stir at a Donald Trump rally by leading a bizarre chant about killing the “deep state bull.”
Wearing a cowboy hat, the former “Roseanne” star revealed a jacket made for the event in Hialeah, Florida. The jacket depicted the former president as a matador, riding a bull draped with an American flag.
“Trump is the MAGAdor,” she declared. “Yeah, and that’s that deep state bull.”
She referenced her 2012 presidential campaign and her platform to “outlaw bullshit,” then led the crowd in chanting about “deep state bullshit.”
“WE WANT TRUMP THE MAGADOR TO KILL THAT GODDAMN BULL,” she shouted. “END THE BULLSHIT, KILL THAT GODDAMN BULL!”
A couple of prominent Republicans reacted to the wild moment on social media.
“Well, this was different,” tweeted Michael Steele, former chair of the Republican National Committee.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) suggested the actor had fallen victim to Trump’s “brain worms.”
Brain worms. Someday we will look back and be amazed at how many people fell for someone who had a mental illness, and how that illness spread by contact https://t.co/KoQsnWeeI8

Trump’s Florida rally served as defiant counter-programming to the GOP primary debate in nearby Miami, which he declined to attend, continuing his trend of bucking the debates while leading the Republican presidential pack.
Barr was famously fired from the revival of her ’90s sitcom in 2018 after making racist comments about a former Obama White House advisor, and has a history of conspiracy theories and making controversial remarks.
She and Trump have been friendly over the years, and she even received a call from him as president to congratulate her on her show’s ratings after her character was revealed to be a Trump supporter.
