George Soros put out a statement piling on Roseanne Barr on the day that her show has been cancelled because of a tweet.
It’s over her tweets about him:

Good morning Roseanne - my given middle name is Victoria. I imagine George Soros’s nephews are lovely people. I’m just not married to one. I am grateful for the important work @OpenSociety does in the world. Have a great day! https://t.co/mXokiTEwN7

And then Roseanne added:
Sorry to have tweeted incorrect info about you!I Please forgive me! By the way, George Soros is a nazi who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps & stole their wealth-were you aware of that? But, we all make mistakes, right Chelsea?

Soros is very offended:
“George Soros survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary as a 13-year-old child by going into hiding and assuming a false identity with the help of his father, who managed to save his own family and help many other Jews survive the Holocaust,” Soros’s spokesperson said in a statement to New York Daily News.
“He did not collaborate with the Nazis. He did not help round people up. He did not confiscate anybody’s property. Such false allegations are insulting to the victims of the Holocaust, to all Jewish people, and to anyone who honors the truth,” the statement said.
“They are an affront to Mr. Soros and his family, who against the odds managed to survive one of the darkest moments in our history.”
Now, this is kind of a judgement call. They’re just gonna say Roseanne is wrong because she likes Trump, but… Soros HAS said things like the accusations that have been made against him.
Watch this video:
In it he says he helped confiscate the property of Jews by the Nazis, and he didn’t feel guilty at all. So is Roseanne’s tweet that far off? You decide.
