Just when it seemed that Michael Moore had finally left the national stage for good, the liberal filmmaker and activist took advantage of comments made this week by comedian Roseanne Barr and President Donald Trump to place the public spotlight squarely back on himself.
In a Twitter message posted on Wednesday, Moore stated: “I know Roseanne. And I know Trump. And they are about to rue the day they knew me … .”
As NewsBusters previously reported, Barr made a series of racist postings on Tuesday that cost her the updated prime-time situation comedy on ABC, and Trump responded that ABC should apologize to him for “the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me” on that network.
According to an article by Julia Conley, a staff writer for the Common Dreams website, Moore used the opportunity to tease “an upcoming documentary focusing on the president and the comedian.”
