Roseanne Barr, well known for her controversial actions, gained notoriety when she purposely sang the National Anthem off-key and engaged in provocative gestures during a San Diego Padres game in the early '90s. Despite subsequent controversies, ABC decided to revive her show, Roseanne, which initially garnered high ratings. However, the revival was short-lived as the network swiftly canceled it after three months, rebranding it as The Conners following Barr's racially insensitive tweet about Valerie Jarrett, an adviser to former President Barack Obama. Even with her tumultuous history, the 71-year-old was selected as one of the speakers at the Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix, Arizona, as part of their annual AmericaFest event.
