Vanity Fair writer Kurt Eichenwald had a meltdown Thursday after seeing a nearly decade old photoshoot from Roseanne Barr where she dressed as Hitler for a satirical Jewish magazine.

"The photo is real," Eichenwald exclaimed on Twitter. "[Roseanne] burned cookies that looked like people in an oven while dressed as Adolph Hitler. I am actually crying. I think of the anguish of my family. I think of this little boy, Antosh, my sons' great uncle, murdered at 11. One of Roseanne's cookies."

Eichenwald then called for the magazine and Roseanne's show to be "shut down":

...what has our country become that someone can ACTUALLY burn symbols of people in an oven while dressed as Adolph Hitler? EVERYONE associated with it, including the magazine for "hip" millennial Jews, should be shut down, fired, and canceled. @therealroseanne.

After a commenter pointed out it was a joke, Eichenwald said her show should be shut down because of the Holocaust:

Not. At. All.

It is fucking GENOCIDE. Six million people murdered. That magazine should be shut down and she should be taken off the air.

Eichenwald said "our country is gone" because heartless Trump supporters didn't break down crying over the burnt cookies, which were "symbols of people":

GOPrs went insane when @kathygriffin did an over-the-line joke about something that never happened. But they cheer & don't care that ANOTHER comic, @therealroseanne, burned symbols of people in an oven while dressed as Hitler. JUST because she supports Trump. Our country is gone.
