Roseanne Barr barks at Tucker Carlson about full-on vampires and the taste of human flesh

"It's not just the dogs and the cats" anymore," the disgraced comedienne claimed, reminding everyone of her past racist outbursts.

Tuesday night in Fort Worth, Texas, right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson welcomed ’90s comedy icon Roseanne Barr to the stage. She was of a number of far-right conspiracy theorists, failed former news hosts and washed-up actors he has interviewed on his variety-styled “Tucker Carlson Live Tour” across America.

The onetime Fox News personality is using the tour to promote his own Tucker Carlson Network, a $6-a-month digital subscription service. His other guests have been hawking books (failed former Fox News host Megyn Kelley), seeking elf-redemption (accused sexual abuser Russel Brand) and circling a soon-to-be failed vice-presidential run (Sen. J.D. Vance [R-OH]).

“You are a horrible person for this vileness. Sexual assault is not a comedy skit.”

Barr was there to promote conspiracy theories.

After assuring Carlson’s audience that everyone in Hollywood is “gay as hell,” the former Roseanne star rolled out a string of golden oldies in front of a crowd hungry for 90’s nostalgia and Pizzagate-level paranoia.

“You know they eat babies,” Barr blurted. It’s unclear if “they” referred to Democrats, the Deep State or Hollywood executives who denied her a successful career after her racist, antisemitic, career-ending outbursts. “That is not bullshit. It’s true!” she proclaimed.

Then Carlson teed Barr up with a clickable contemporary reference conflating “them” with the Haitian immigrants allegedly overrunning America.

“So it’s not just the dogs and the cats? Not just the pets?” Carlson asked, even though there’s absolutely no evidence backing the racist anti-immigrant claim.

Barr was off and running.

“It’s not just the dogs and the cats,” she said. “There are full-on vampires! And everybody still thinks I’m crazy. But I’m not crazy. They’re full-on vampires. They love the taste of human flesh, and they drink human blood.”

Carlson looked concerned — whether it was for Barr and her sanity or his own cratering career was unclear.

“They do, Tucker!” she barked.

The nut farmer hoped that “by the time we go in to vote for Trump, that he will open up everybody’s eyes and they will stop pretending to be asleep.”

“You know what they say: You can’t wake people up that are pretending to be asleep,” Barr evangelized, leaning deep into her microphone.

“But I pray to God, please wake up — even those who are pretending to be asleep — with the irrefutable truth of what the worst people on this planet are really up to. They are really up to that. They’re doin’ it.  There are so many victims. There are so many victims!” Barr exclaimed, her fans cheering the performance.
