Actor Tom Arnold has broken his silence on his ex-wife, Roseanne Barr's recent and controversial political commentary at a MAGA event.

Arnold and Barr were married from 1990 to 1994, a period in which he claims that his ex wasn't a fan of former president Donald Trump.

Now the actor feels that it's been a "s--- show" watching her support Trump amid his ongoing campaigns for reelection.

'The De-evolution Of Roseanne Barr'

The tweet he was tagged in read, "The de-evolution of Roseanne Barr has been a s--- show to watch. I remember in 1990 when she and @TomArnold sent $2500 to the anti-David Duke organization I worked for to help defeat him in the US Senate race. Today, she'd probably send Duke the money instead. Sad."

Arnold then responded that he and his ex-wife had initially shared the same political values, loving the same politicians like Edwin Edwards and Bill Clinton and "hating" the likes of David Luke and Donald Trump.

He then noted that her transformation in the other direction was shocking, adding, "Life is strange."

Arnold's reaction comes after Barr delivered a controversial speech immersed in conspiracy theories about Nazi fascists, communists, and Christian democracies at TurningPoint USA's annual AmericaFest event.

In her speech, she claimed that Nazi fascists and communists were making moves to introduce "one caliphate" which would replace "every Christian democracy on Earth now!"

She then insisted on the government revealing "the truth" while referring to Republican and Democrat lawmakers as "nothing but c---."

"I just want the truth," Barr could be heard raging. "We deserve to hear the truth. That's what we want! We want the truth!"

She added, per Radar Online, "We don't care which party is wrong, we know they're both nothing but c---! They're both on the take! They're both stealing us blind! We just want the truth about everything we fought and died, and suffered to protect!"

Earlier in the month, Barr also made an outrageous comment about the COVID-19 vaccines during her appearance on Bill Maher's YouTube podcast, "Club Random."

She informed her host that, in her view, the vaccines were designed to harm the population rather than serve as a protective immunization against the widespread virus.

"They're trying to f------ kill us! That's why they're giving us the vaccine," claimed Barr, adding that it was all planned by "the f------ crazy a-- psychopath billionaires who hate the 'regular people.'"

The duo's discussion took a weirder turn when Barr introduced topics such as "lizard people" and the Zohar, a collection of books delving into the mystical dimensions of the Hebrew Bible.

"You're going to say I'm mentally ill, which I say I am," Barr stated. "But you have to listen to the mentally ill, as the Zohar says."

When Maher then asked her about the Zohar, Barr noted that "they're Satan worshipers from Babylon; they're the reptiles" before further addressing them as "the lizard people."

In the past, Barr has also made controversial claims about the Holocaust, saying that no one died, contrary to what history books and human accounts have claimed.

"Nobody died in the Holocaust, that's the truth," Barr said on Theo Von's "This Past Weekend" podcast. "Six million Jews should die right now because they cause all the problems in the world."

Shortly after her comments on the podcast, Barr was slammed on social media, with many deeming her comments as anti-Semitic.

One person said at the time, "Sarcasm or not, Roseanne Barr's comments about Jews and the Holocaust are reprehensible and irresponsible. This isn't funny. And shame on Theo Von for letting it go unchallenged and instead diving into conspiracy theories about Jews and Hollywood."

However, rather than apologize, Barr doubled down on her stance and badmouthed her detractors.

"Why don't you go f--- yourself," Barr said in a statement. "We are under such heavy satanic mind control in this country and I'm always trying to break through."
