Roseanne Barr has claimed that Ambien -- not racism -- was responsible for her racist outburst on Twitter yesterday.

If the simple sleeping pill caused her to spew anachronistic racial epithets in the middle of the night, what else can she blame on it? Here are just a few of the apparent side effects of Ambien, if we are to believe the research conducted by the Roseanne Barr School of Medicine.

1. Accusing a Holocaust survivor of being an actual Nazi

2. Accusing a gun violence survivor of being an actual Nazi

3. Accusing a Hillary Clinton aide of being a "filthy Nazi whore"

4. Dressing up as a Nazi:

5. Comparing Islam to ... sigh, Nazism

6. Believing that trans women love to "force their penises" in people's "faces" in women's bathrooms

7. Praying that students at a California university get nuked

8. Labeling babies libtards

9. Calling Muslim migrants "savages" and advocating that they not be allowed to enter "our towns"

10. Using the phrase "Islamic rape pedo culture"

11. Buddying up with a guy who called Sandy Hook a hoax

12. Running for president and forcing a whole bunch of poor interns to write about it

13. Taking down an incredibly popular television show and eliminating hundreds of jobs in less than 280 characters

14. Disappointing fans who looked up to you as a role model 20 years ago, and now have to read Sara Gilbert lesbian fan fiction instead
