Rose Mcgowan Interrupts Political Gala

  • 12 October 2015

The former Charmed star sat in the audience at the No Labels event in Washington, D.C., which aimed to bridge the gap between the Democrat and Republican parties, and live-tweeted her intention to halt proceedings, writing on Twitter.com, "I'm going to annihilate in 3-2-1..."

The celebrity guests were asked to stand up, and the actress then took over the event to embark on a rant, which she recorded on her cell phone.

"May I speak for one minutes (sic) gentleman and ladies? I'm just going to be very, very quick, I want to thank you for your interest in bipartisanship," she can be heard saying in the video footage. "I'm completely hijacking this. I've lived in 27 different states, I've (had) a life filled with struggle, I'm a small business owner, I'm an investor, in short, I am an American. I do see bipartisanship but I've heard this stuff for years."

She then called the crowd "rich white male republicans" and lectured them about a lack of diversity and knowledge of real American issues, before walking out the room.

Following the event, she wrote on Twitter, "I just fully hijacked a gala dinner & f**king gave it to them. I represent America. I am an American and I have a right to speak... I said my piece as a citizen as is my right. Maybe politicians should tell the truth sometime.

"I will not sit idly by as absolute bs (bulls**t) pandering is going o (sic). What's wrong with being real?... I do not have to be a good little girl. I am a free person, pity if you're not. I love all of the pearl clenching. That's rich... Artists are supposed to challenge the power structure. Is this new? Uh... no. Nothing wrong with setting fire to the lies."
