Roseanne Barr professed her support for former president Donald Trump as she went on a bizarre rant about communists, Nazis and a Muslim takeover.
The comedienne, 71, took the stage at conservative group Turning Point USA's AmericaFest event in Phoenix, Arizona, over the weekend - and once again stirred controversy with her political takes.
'I’m just all in [with Trump] because I know if I ain’t all in, they’re going to put my a** in a gulag... And I don’t wanna go to a re-education camp and have to give all my money to a bunch of losers that never know how [to] get a job,' Barr told the audience.
'If we don't stop these horrible communists, Stalinists, with a huge helping of Nazi-fascist thrown in. Plus one caliphate to replace every Christian democracy on Earth now! Occupy! Do you know that?' the actress added as the crowd of young conservatives went quiet.
Barr continued: 'We don’t care which party is wrong, we know they’re both nothing but crap! 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!'

The Roseanne star reacted to her speech on Sunday, claiming on social media that she was forced to improvise it after accidentally deleting it.
'I cannot believe I accidentally deleted my speech when making my last edit just before walking out,' she wrote. 'I had to wing it last night, it was so scary. But I’m glad you guys liked it!'
The actress also shared images posing with former Republican candidate for Arizona governor Kari Lake and the so-called QAnon Shaman, who spent 27 months in jail over his role in the January 6 riots.
Clips of Barr's speech have gone viral online, with many mocking the actress and others showing concern for her wellbeing.
One X user said: 'If Roseanne Barr had a single person in her life who gave a damn about her they'd make sure she was getting the professional help she needs.'
Another added: 'When you're so crazy you lose the Charlie Kirk crowd.'
It's far from Barr's first controversy - she was slammed earlier this year 'over reprehensible and irresponsible' comments after she sarcastically claimed 'nobody died in the Holocaust.'

The disgraced comedian, who is herself Jewish, told Theo Von's The Past Weekend podcast that 'six million Jews should die right now because they cause all the problems in the world'.
It was part of a conversation with Von, a comedian and podcast host, about what Barr claimed to be 'mandated truths' such as the 2020 presidential election results. She tried to sarcastically use Holocaust denial conspiracy theories to support her argument.
Barr's reboot show was canceled after she tweeted that Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, who is African American, looked like the 'Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.'
Like Barr, TurningPoint's USA founder Charlie Kirk, 29, has been accused of anti-Semitism and racism.
The nonprofit rocketed to prominence by latching on to Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and has raised roughly a quarter-billion dollars since, much of it spent cultivating conservative influencers and hosting glitzy events.
Barr has been campaigning for Trump's reelection, and last month delivered an expletive-laden speech at a rally for the former president.
Taking the stage, Barr, a longtime supporter of the former president, touched on her own failed 2012 presidential campaign, during which she had promised to 'outlaw bullsh**.'
She then went on to unveil a novelty campaign sweatshirt emblazoned with the words, 'MAGADOR-IN-CHIEF', and a cartoon image of Trump riding a bull.
