Actress Rose McGowan defends tweet apologizing to Iran after U.S. airstrike

Rose McGowan’s tweet that apologized on behalf of the U.S. to Iran for “disrespecting their flag and people” in the wake of an airstrike that killed the country’s top general was not anti-American, the actress said in the face of harsh criticism.

“I don’t support Iran over America. I want America to be better,” McGowan said during an exclusive interview with The Associated Press on Friday.

Her tweet read: “Dear #Iran, The USA has disrespected your country, your flag, your people. 52% of us humbly apologize. We want peace with your nation. We are being held hostage by a terrorist regime. We do not know how to escape. Please do not kill us.”

She faced outrage over Friday’s Twitter post, with some suggesting she move to Iran. McGowan acknowledged that her tweet was unusual.

“I woke up, I stupidly looked at Twitter. I was going to the bathroom, and I was like, ‘what?’” She added that she doesn’t believe the governments of either Iran or the U.S.

“So, I just thought I would do something a little strange or unusual … bloodshed should be avoided if you can,” she said. “And I kind of just thought, what if I take a really bizarre way around this. A very strange thought, I understand.”

A mentally ill woman tweets some nonsense about an issue she doesn’t understand at all and it makes news.

Rose McGowan tries to walk back her post. Maybe her publicist shook her real hard (as you noted, the comments are entertaining)!:

Here's her original post:

And here's Rose McGowan's attempt to "unsay" what she said:

Ok, so I freaked out because we may have any impending war. Sometimes it’s okay to freak out on those in power. It’s our right. That is what so many Brave soldiers have fought for. That is democracy. I do not want any more American soldiers killed. That’s it.— rose mcgowan (@rosemcgowan) January 3, 2020

While going to the bathroom (I'm not sure if that means she was walking to the bathroom or using the bathroom) she had the idea she could save the world.

She should be satisfied with her bowel movement and leave it at that, rather than attempt to rise above her obvious limitations.

She’s a lunatic. She claims she was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein and then paid off by him to keep her mouth shut for 20 years while he continued to rape other women. It was only when OTHER women came forward to expose Weinstein did McGowan come out and start portraying herself as this warrior against sexual assault. Well where the hell was she for 20 years? Then she wrote a book and when on a book tour she was asked why she covered for Weinstein for 20 years and rather than answer the question she cancelled the rest of the book tour. I guess now she’s moved on to covering for terrorists.

Men’s or women’s?

lol

Harvey sexually assaulted HER?

Now he’s even more disgusting in my eyes. He’s not even picky :)

And you’re right. 20 years. Not a peep.

Maybe because she was less a victim than she is letting on.

I’m sure there are Many real victims.

But my nephews tell me a bottle of champagne in a nightclub is enough to get a woman to go him with you these days.

How much would they give to be movie stars?

So it seems that Rasida Tlaib just tweeted this out and then immediately deleted it:

“Americans have spent decade raping and pillaging my people.
What goes around comes around.”

There is an image of it on another site.

She’s a mentally ill slut.

You're being too kind.

In reality she's nothing more than a "HOLLYWOOD DUMBA$$!"

Rose is a complete moron.

Rose, like governments don’t recognize your little first grade truth revelation? It’s why we have governments in the first place. But Rose, sweetie pie, things don’t always work out peacefully, honey pie.
