Less than 24 hours after Roseanne Barr lost her eponymous show on ABC over a racist tweet about a former Obama administration official, the comedienne tweeted — then deleted — that she wrote the post under the influence of the popular prescription sleeping pill Ambien.
“It was 2 in the morning and I was Ambien tweeting-it was memorial day too-i went 2 far & do not want it defended-it was egregious Indefensible,” she said.
On Wednesday morning, the company that produces the sleep aid drug took to social media to affirm that their product does not, in fact, cause one to write racist posts.
People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.

That’s a fine burn.
Typical Trumptard: when called out on some sort of boneheaded move that reveals your true colors, blame something else.
Here’s a piece of advice for all the deplorables out there: Own it! It’s pointless to deny, deny, deny. Everyone knows what you are, and there obviously is a large community in this nation for your neanderthal views.
Big Pharma makes big funny.
The Neanderthals were a fine people! Leave the Neanderthals outta 'dis!!
Joking aside-- It was Homo sapiens who wiped out the Neanderthals… so probably one of the first truly genocidal (racist?) things " sapiens " ever did.
They’re right. I’ve heard of “great Ambien sex” but not about getting your inner racist on.
Pathetic and blame-it-on anything but me victimology.
In Ambien veritas.
