Former Obama White House official Valerie Jarrett has come back into the public eye after being the target of a racist tweet from actress and comedian Roseanne Barr. Jarrett has long been the target of criticism as a result of her prominent position in the Obama administration. She was attacked particularly harshly after the Democrats preformed poorly in the 2014 midterms.

Former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett has stayed mostly out of the spotlight after ending her tenure as one of President Barack Obama's most trusted staffers.

On Tuesday, however, she was thrust back into the public eye by a racist tweet from actress and comedian Roseanne Barr, in which she compared Jarrett to an ape. Barr's show, "Roseanne," was promptly cancelled by ABC. See the rest of the story at Business Insider
