WATCH: Roseanne Barr Hilariously Trolls Biden With E. Jean Carroll-Style Accusation
Comedian Roseanne Barr has once again made headlines with a hilarious stunt.
In a video posted on social media, Barr mocks President Joe Biden by levying a fictitious accusation similar to those made by columnist E. Jean Carroll. The video features Barr in a staged interview where she claims, in a dramatically over-the-top manner, that Biden assaulted her decades ago in a department store.
The scene opens with Barr appearing distressed as she recounts her “experience” in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room — a direct parody of Carroll’s allegation against Donald Trump. Barr’s use of the hashtag #believeallwomen, along with references to “#meshoe” and “#bergdorfdressingroom,” to critique the indiscriminate nature of social media activism.
“No, I’m not okay because I just had a horrible flashback, a horrible memory,” Barr begins her story with comedic timing that belies the seriousness of her claimed revelation.
“Right now, I realize that 26 years ago, Joe Biden raped me right here in that dressing room in the shoe department where I went in to change my shoes. Oh my God. He raped me right here,” Barr continued.

E. Jean Carroll, the former magazine columnist, filed a lawsuit following her 2019 allegations that Trump had raped her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s, a claim Trump had persistently denied.
In January a Manhattan jury ordered Trump to pay a staggering $83.3 million to Carroll in the defamation lawsuit. Carroll was seeking only upwards of $12 million in damages related to alleged actions and statements made by Trump which a jury earlier found to qualify as defamation.

I would never insult a sexual assault victim. I was talking about E. Jean Carroll.

Joe needs to be sued for millions to pay for his crimes.
