Rose McGowan admits she's a Republican & "cannot vote Democrat"

Actress Rose McGowan came out as a registered Republican on Twitter.

McGowan, best known for her work on the TV series Charmed and the film Grindhouse, tweeted that she is “a registered Republican in California.”

She said that she hates Bill and Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, so she would “rather know what evil I’m getting.”

“This is about WWIII, so none of that shit matters anyway,” she concluded, probably referring to the assassination of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani earlier today.

Didn't see that coming.

We hear about so-and-so derangement syndrome, but when it comes to Hillary Clinton, it really is a fucking mystery, but it is very common.

When I find out an actress/actor is a Republican and/or likes the GOP/Trump, I honestly cannot stomach to look at or watch them anymore. I will never watch Pamela Anderson or Scott Baio again, never listen to Ted Nugent or Kid Rock, will never buy a My Pillow - all because these people like Spanky. It's stomach turning and I cant get past it. Rose supporting the GOP is just as bad, IMO.

Supposed to be good and sounds like a show I’d like. But the star Patricia Heaton is a known Repug, so forget it.

Heaton was all over television repeating outright lies about Schiavo's condition and supporting Schiavo's parents in their court fight with Schiavo's husband.

... if a Democrat acted like Donald Trump, I'd have no trouble voting against him/her! I'm guessing Rose thinks Democrats want to take away her wealth/lifestyle... but to use "hate" and "evil" may signal deeper problems.

She needs a lot of help. Unfortunately, she's gone through a great deal and it's really messed with her mentally. I feel badly for her.

“ I will never vote Republican. I want the Democrats to win because we are less likely to die”

I haven’t heard of her previously and have no idea why anyone cares what her opinion is... but seems to have “issues”

Why all the hubub? Is she not entitled to her own opinion?

Why does the political opinion of this celebrity enrage you and the political opinion of that random republican voter over there does not?

Could it be that the real origin of your anger is that you hold her, a female celebrity, to a higher standard than ordinary people?

Where is your outrage about Jon Voight being a Republican? Tim Allen? James Woods?

I personally don't hold her to a higher standard. But when a famous person gives their opinion on politics and other matters, people who read/hear of them will form their own opinions on what was said. And I also will never watch James Woods, Susan Sarandon or weirdo Jon Voight's movies ever again either. Anyone who comes out and says they like Spanky Spank-Me-Now, or any other member of the traitorous GOP, automatically turns my stomach. If these famous people didn't want judgements on their personal beliefs, they should've shut up and said bothing6, especially in this political climate. Being famous doesn't make ya smart.
