'So far down the rabbit hole': Tom Arnold mocks Roseanne after unhinged Mar-a-Lago rant

Editor's Note: This article and headline have been updated to remove coarse language used by Tom Arnold to describe the Mar-a-Lago bathroom.

Earlier this week, comedian-turned-MAGA acolyte Roseanne Barr recorded a rambling video at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Actor Tom Arnold had a few choice words for his ex-wife after watching it.

Barr went viral after attending a fundraiser last week for Arizona US Senate candidate Kari Lake, in which she recorded a video urging young Americans to not attend college, saying they "don't teach you nothing good." She also dismissed American university professors as "devil-worshipping, baby blood-drinking, Democrat donors." The video, which was originally posted to Barr's Instagram, has since been viewed more than two million times.

During a recent episode of his new Really Political podcast for Really American media, Barr's ex-husband, Tom Arnold, quipped that Barr's son filming the video amounted to "elder abuse," and remarked on the "dumb--- picture of Trump" in the background. He also wondered aloud if she recorded the video from the Mar-a-Lago bathroom where the DOJ found boxes of classified government documents, and remarked on his ex's embrace of fringe conspiracy theories.

"She's so far down the rabbit hole," Arnold said, in reference to Barr's belief in the QAnon conspiracy theory, in which Trump supporters believe the former president spent his time in the White House battling a secret cabal of pedophiles who inhabited the highest echelons of the Democratic Party.

"She believes in a lot of things. She believes the Boston Marathon [bombing] was a false flag, she emailed every member of Congress saying that John McCain was a traitor," he continued. "She had multiple personality disorder, which is a real thing. She had 27 different personalities, and only two of them liked me."

Barr's video also drew mockery from late night host Jimmy Kimmel. In response to her conspiracy claims, Kimmel sarcastically remarked that it "seems like she's doing great."

"I remember a time when Roseanne was a big Democrat donor. She campaigned for Bill Clinton, she gave lots of money… Of course, I remember a time when Donald Trump was a Democrat, too," Kimmel said.

During the Mar-a-Lago fundraiser, Kari Lake raised approximately $1 million from well-heeled GOP donors to fuel her Senate campaign war chest. After Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Arizona) announced she would not be seeking another term, the race is effectively between Lake and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Arizona) in the race that could decide which party controls the upper chamber of Congress until the 2026 midterms.

Like Barr, Lake is also a conspiracy theorist, repeatedly stating the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump and that her own loss in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election to Democrat Katie Hobbs was illegitimate. Women voters in the Grand Canyon State are likely to turn out in droves, following the Arizona Supreme Court's recent ruling to uphold an 1864 law banning almost all abortions. Both Lake and Trump have criticized the ruling despite past statements lauding the overturning of Roe v. Wade and calls for states to be the final deciders of the abortion issue.
