Actor Rob Lowe deletes racist tweet about Elizabeth Warren — and infuriates MAGA heads in the process
It’s no secret that Rob Lowe, once a Democrat, is now a right-winger. He was even named one of the 50 Most Influential Conservatives in Hollywood by Newsmax.
But he was never an obnoxious ass like James Woods.
Which makes the racist joke he told today a bit puzzling.
"Elizabeth Warren would bring a whole new meaning to Commander in "Chief," Lowe tweeted.
The reaction from Twitter was swift.
@RobLowe Wow, you nailed that joke like a 16-year-old.— Popehat (@Popehat) 1549762489

Um, no he isn’t.
Oh, but there was at least one supporting tweet from a fellow traveler:
@RobLowe Winning would probably be a real feather in her cap— Princess LayYa (@Princess LayYa) 1549765266
Lowe deleted the tweet and posted this:
I deleted my Elizabeth Warren tweet. It was a joke and some peeps got upset, and that’s never my intention. On the… https://t.co/4Jzq3bWs3C— Rob Lowe (@Rob Lowe) 1549777183
First -— that is NOT an Oxford comma.
Second -— the response included a lot of people telling him he shouldn’t give in to the libs and that the “joke” was really funny. Stuff like this:
@RobLowe Why would you give in to the outrage mob? All it does is further encourage them.— Geaux Tigers (@Geaux Tigers) 1549809324
@RobLowe It was funny. If we can’t have a laugh at politicians we may just all lose it by 2020! https://t.co/im6tTFQScb— LibertyManiacs (@LibertyManiacs) 1549809469
