Rose McGowan Tweeted About Iran And Her Political Affiliations, And It’s Confusing
Rose McGowan, #MeToo pioneer and the most polarizing cast member of the original Charmed who isn’t Shannen Doherty, tweeted an apology to Iran after a U.S. drone strike killed top Iranian military official Qasem Soleimani. People took offense at Rose going against America. She responded by saying she’s a Trump-hating Republican who can’t vote Democrat and won’t vote Republican so she’s apologizing to Iran. Girl, what?
Here’s Rose’s original tweet (via ONTD):
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. #Soleimani pic.twitter.com/YE54CqGCdr

And after she got shit for that, she said that Soleimani is a murderous asshole but explained the only way to stave off our next war in the Middle East was for Rose McGowan herself to personally apologize to the country of Iran. Um…
Of course #Soleimani was an evil evil man who did evil evil things. But that at this moment is not the fucking point. The United States is morally corrupt and acts illegally. It is only logical to appeal to Iran’s pride by apologizing. I’m taking one for the team. #TeamStayAlive

But she’s really not on anyone’s side. Except for maybe Rose McGowan’s.
I do not side with Iran, but I most definitely do not side with the USA #TeamStayAlive https://t.co/ShWtvgWYqj

And then she revealed herself to be as puzzled by our political options when it comes to leadership as most Americans are but it doesn’t matter because we’re all going to die anyway.
I’m a registered Republican in California. I loathe the Clintons. I hate Trump. I will not vote Republican, but I cannot vote Democrat. I’d rather know what evil I’m getting, so I’ll go Republican. This is about WWIII, so none of that shit matters anyway. #TeamStayAlive #RoseArmy pic.twitter.com/l7MtDXUVuy

After some more confusion via Twitter, Rose seemed to have gathered herself and took the path of least resistance by saying that she doesn’t want any more American soldiers to die overseas which yes, thank you, Rose.
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.

Now, have some chamomile and use that breathing app on your Apple Watch and just chill for a minute cuz’ you got everybody stirred up much more than they had to be and you were so good in Scream so just focus on that for awhile, Rose.
