Rob Lowe Thinks the Aftermath of a Tragedy Is the Perfect Time to Criticize France's Immigration Policy
Rob Lowe, the thespian’s equivalent to an overexcited Golden retriever, has taken this tragic moment in French history to comment on the country’s immigration policy.
On Friday, in the aftermath of a series of terrorist attacks that left 129 dead and several hundred injured, Lowe took to Twitter to say his piece. First, it seemed innocent, a show of support for the country:
Vive La France! #Paris

Then, things took a turn for the worse, when Lowe seemed to criticize France’s acceptance of a wave of immigrants who have been fleeing countries in the Middle East.
Oh, NOW France closes its borders. #Hollande

This is either the worst translation of an important speech ever, or one of the worst ever given. #Hollande

The actor quickly backtracked, saying that he’d “lived in France, and spend a ton of time there.” Then, when his haters wouldn’t abate, Lowe reaffirmed that he was loving France, not criticizing it for taking in people seeking asylum.
Wow. For you trolls out there, the phrase "Vive La France" is the traditional expression of SUPPORT for France. Don't misinterpret my words.

Oopsie, Rob Lowe! Maybe it’s best to stick to manufacturing those classic Ellen moments, or to loving fun.
