NEWS'Drunk Washed-Up Comedian' Roseanne Barr Mocked for Unhinged Rant During Kari Lake's Fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago
Conservative comedian Roseanne Barr stirred up some controversy at a fundraiser for Kari Lake's Arizona Senate campaign when she went on a full QAnon-style rant about Democrats drinking "baby blood."
Roseanne Barr told American college students to drop out of school.
The incident took place at Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump's Florida residence, where Barr served as a "special guest comedian" for the event.
Barr released a statement ahead of the event, which read, "On my way to Mar-a-Lago to help support the great Kari Lake! We must try to vote our way out of this for at least one last year…. and then if that doesn’t work #1776."

A video of Barr at the Lake event made the rounds on X, formerly known as Twitter, where it shows a moment during the event when she told American college students to drop out of school.
“So I’m just going to say to you, please drop out of college, because it’s going to ruin your lives,” Barr said with a slur in her voice and a glass of white wine in her hands. “Do me a favor, drop out, they don’t teach you nothing good, uh, email me or Twitter me or whatever you call me, and I’ll help you with your life, but you gotta get out of college, because it isn’t nothing but a bunch of devil-worshipping, baby blood-drinking, Democrat donors.”

Lake has spent the past few years repeating Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud in not only the 2020 presidential election but also the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election, where she lost to Katie Hobbs.
According to political analysts, her rhetoric and attacks on the late Senator John McCain hurt her with independent and moderate voters and even repelled a significant number of Republicans.
