https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/rob-lowe-elizabeth-warren_us_5c5fbf9ce4b0eec79b2424e5After Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) announced her bid for the 2020 presidential nomination, Rob Lowe took to Twitter to mock the run, but it didnt go over well with everyone.
The actors now-deleted post appeared to dunk on the senator Saturday for her previous identification as Native American, stating she would bring a whole new meaning to Commander in Chief.
Sitcom actress and Food Network host Valerie Bertinelli was one of many Twitter users who called Lowe out, letting him know he had crossed the line.

Seeming to have had a change of heart, Lowe decided to delete the jab, calling it a joke and stating it was never my intention to rile up anger.

(14,532 posts)I read the tweet and comments last night.
He had sex with a 16 year old and another woman he met and filmed it. Even though the girl was of legal age, he ended up doing community service for the filming part, because the girl was not 18, the legal age to consent to filming sex.
