That was with Valerie Jarrett, whose face actually does look almost exactly like the very distinctive (and not realistically ape-like) faces of the "ape" characters in the Planet of the Apes movies.

But not the original 60s-70s films. "Val Jar" looks nothing like Kim Hunter's Dr. Zira in the original 1968 movie, who, even covered in monkey makeup, looks a million times better than that soulless traitor. Helena Bonham Carter has a small, squarish head like Val Jar. And she has a "haircut" in the later Apes films that resembled Val Jar's nasty bitch-do. This is I think why Roseann made the comment. There was a resemblance. Val Jar is Iranian iirc, but the MSM tried to make everyone believe that she was black (which made the comparison to an "ape" even more REEE-ifying for them). The real racists in that story were the losers in the media.

Ahhh the soft racism of expecting that calling someone’s face ape-like equates to calling them black

It wasn't even calling her face ape-like. It was a specific reference to the Planet of the Apes movies (and to the Muslim Brotherhood -- what Roaseanne said was that Jarrett looked like "the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes had a baby").
