In an event for California GubernatorialCandidate Larry Elders, feminist and #metoo activist Rose McGowan, alledged that Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who worked at Harvey Weinstein's Law Firm called to ask her what they could do to "make her happy" (get her to shut up about Weinstein).
It’s hard to say, but the fact she’s effectively blacklisted herself and ended her career in Hollywood over these accusations says something. Hollywood, corporations, the media and government are all in bed with one another, often literally.. so I can’t say I would be surprised if she was being truthful.
She’s not a feminist or a me too or an she. But I will agree, I don’t want to hear a fucking thing from women without the proof being provided UP FRONT, no accusations, no innuendo, no, he did this but I felt it was this… COLD, HARD, IRREFUTABLE PROOF, that whiny leftist cunt Christine Blasey-Ford taught me that.
Rose McGowan isn't a Republican or a conservative, so there's no benefit or gain for her politically to lie, like if the person that was making the accusations was a lifetime political hack.
McGowan is probably also going to be shunned in Hollywood for the rest of her life for speaking out against Newsom (even though her career wasn't active now anyway), so there's no benefit or gain for her professionally to lie either.
Then you have Newsom, who's an extremely terrible governor, but a slick politician. Why would he have his wife herself directly reach out to McGowan? That would be political and career suicide, and he cannot possibly be that stupid.
So based on all of that, my initial "smell test" tells me that there's probably "some" truth to what McGowan is saying, because Weinstein IS a slimeball, and Newsom's wife DID work at the firm that represented Weinstein. However, Newsom and his wife also can't be that directly dumb. So there's got to be more to this story, one way or another.
While I can believe it, I won't believe it if the only news source that you have is Breitbart.
Breitbart is often about as factual as the Weekly World News's coverage of the love child between Hillary Clinton and the extraterrestrial.

Again, I am not saying what is being asserted is true or false, but we here at G@G deserve a reliable news source before responding.
I believe the accusation initially came directly from Rose during an interview with Dave Rubin and was featured on The Hill’s Rising show this morning.
Rose McGowan stumps for Larry Elder in California: 'He is the better man' BY SARAH POLUS - 09/12/21 10:33 PM EDT
====== Do I believe Rose McGowan?
I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if it's true that Newsom's wife tried to buy McGowan off over Weinstein. Newsom's wife isn't Newsom.
However, McGowan, by lumping all Dems with Newsom's wife is 1) incorrect, 2) emotional, and 3) career suicide. Her career may have been stalled anyway, so, who knows? maybe she was paid by the GOP for this. That saddens me to write that because that just shows how fucked up everything's become in politics.
Anyway, the bottom line for McGowan, her career as an actress is now pretty much over. Expect to see her on Newsmax, America One, or Fox News as a commentator. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets a TV pundit show at some point on one of those networks.
LMAO, that's your best troll, mentioning Breitbart in the same post as a rag? I give it a 1 :( Let's see when compared to the corporate media Breitbart:
Right about 2016 polls Right about Steele Dossier Right about Russian Collusion Hoax Right about Sandman Right about Smollet Right about Wallace Right about Ukraine Hoax Right about Stormy Daniels Right about Big Tech Censorship Right about Gov. Whitmer and the FBI led plot to "kidnap" her Right about Ivermecting hoax in the media
This is just off the top of my head! And then media outlets wonder why they are called fake news.
I'm always a bit skeptical from anything coming out of Hollywood, but she has been proven correct with regards to Harvey Weinstein, and in this case, she has several pieces of evidence that support her claims.
It also passes the smell test - Newsome wouldn't have met with her directly about something like this - he's not that politically dumb. Of course he would use a go-between. That's how bribes are done, and it's a routine thing in both Hollywood and in politics.
Harvey was a major donor and very influential with "the right people", so is it at all hard to believe that he was being supported behind the scenes by the same people who were benefitting from him politically and financially? Not a bit.
I agree with the entirety of this. The only part of McGowan's story that bothers me is she alleges that the "go-between" was Newsom's wife herself. Newsom is an absolutely awful governor, but a slick politician. He can't be that stupid. If he is, all the more reason to recall him. There's only one thing worse than a politician who engages in bribery and blackmail: A politician who engages in bribery and blackmail, and is terrible at bribery and blackmail.
@NYCQuestions1976 No, I could definitely believe that part too. He'd want to send a woman, but it would have to be someone he really trusted. And, remember, this is BEFORE the Harvey story blew up, before most of the media was involved, so I'm sure that, at the time, the risks didn't seem nearly as high.
I don't think he'd do the same thing NOW - but the world was very different 5-6 years ago.
This is true. Plus, as I wrote in my response, McGowan has nothing to gain politically or professionally. She's not a Republican or conservative, and Hollywood is going to bury her for speaking out against Newsom.
@NYCQuestions1976 Her "Hollywood" career was over as soon as she broke the news about Harvey. Even though it's clear that she was telling the truth, the fact is that she cut off a LOT of money and influence to some very powerful people, and she didn't have the clout to get away with it, so she's now unemployable by Hollywood. It's hard enough for women who are 40+ in Hollywood, but with this kind of black mark, you can forget it. And she's only too well aware.
And as you said, she's not a conservative or a Republican - at this point, she's just fighting for what's right, at great expense to herself. She could have taken the bribe and shut up, and she'd still be a Hollywood darling and a friend of the Left - but she stood up for what was right. I have to respect that.
Not everyone views that flag the same way. There are black people in the south that also proudly wave that flag. I personally am impartial. I don't know what it's like as a southerner in the south so I don't presume
Its a racist flag regardless and even if someone doesn’t mean it in a racist way it’s still ignorant. I mostly see republicans flying it and they are always talking about how black people disrespect the us flag by kneeling yet they fly the confederate flag that symbolizes racism and the south trying to separate from the US so it seems like the confederate flag is disrespectful to the country that republicans claim to love so much
It is another nation's flag so ya I guess that's true. I'm trying to open myself up to people more and learn differing viewpoints. Everyday I feel like I'm kind of tribeless. I don't know what I would even be considered anymore. But I love multiculturalism and I think as the country is now it's a failure to everyday people. I believe in things like free contraceptives and welfare for the poor. I just think the Dems and pubs are both corporate shills and it's depressing
Whenever I see the Confederate flag, the very first thing that I think of is The Dukes Of Hazard. Other than that, I don't understand the fascination with flying a flag of a country that lost and doesn't exist any more.
The left isn't "racist" they are literally rapists. They don't care what color we are, they just don't want us to be free or have rights.
They are the same racists from 50 years ago who have now expanded their bigioted views to cover all people. More races, more slaves. Less togeatherness less opposition.
They have learned to weaponize their own hate against their political opponents.
"Cus if you're the one doing the pointing, nobody's looking at you"
And half the country is so stupid they actually believe Larry Elder is a racist because JOE BIDEN'S FRIENDS SAID SO. . . 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Truth be told, this country deserves to crash and burn. Only problems are so many good people live here and what would take it's place if that actually happens.
What sort of absolute toadstool can look at Newsome, then look at Larry Elder, and go "yep, the black man who wants to fix the inner city schools is the white supremacist, because the white man who's friends with Joe Biden and sends his kids to a practically all white private school said so"
I care about everyone. But those people need to either wake up or drink the koolaid and get out of the way.
Larry is a progressive. He believes in democracy, equality, liberty, and justice for all.
Newsome is a super vilian with a microphone and an incredibles 3 level propaganda machine.
The Confederate flag isn't racist. There are black people who fly it in 2021. I guess y'all missed the colledge who tried to make a black student take it down and lost. He kept it up.
Contrary to popular belief, slavery was a very small factor in the Civil war. And it wasn't split north/south.
The Federal government could have outlawed slavery at any point they wanted to. They did that AFTER the war had started.
Think about that for just a minute.
When the states were leaving, it was still legal. They didn't care. They weren't in a rush. Lincoln was known to be against it but, he was president for two years before the emancipation proclamation.
Just shows how many leftists don't know their history.
The flag represents the Confederacy. Not anything to do with slavery.
The Confederacy wasn't about keeping slaves. It was about states rights. It was about the constitution America was founded on.
It was about liberty, and the right for the people (granted at the time that meant rich white men) to choose their own governments.
Had the south won, slavery would have been decided state by state. And I gurentee still outlawed in a short span of years.
Had the North wanted slavery gone so bad, they would have passed state laws against it in 50 years before the war ever came up. Lincoln sat in the Whitehouse for well over a year before he banned it. . .
They did that to improve their chances in the war. Not because of some moral purity.
A lot of people in the north were upset by it and fought to keep slaves.
Joe Biden and his pals are selling and raping kids and you fools still go out and vote for them.
Learn your history a little better before you start trying to tell someone else what their own flag means. 🤦🏼♂️
It represents everything Texas, Florida, and countless other states are fighting for today. And none of that has anything to do with slavery.
But shit, someone told you that's what it means so you don't need to read a book, just chant "Orange man bad, red flag racist, vote for pedofile overlords, take their drugs or DIE!"
While we're down here fighting for Liberty, Justice, and Constitutional Rights for all.
I was born in NY. I used to think you had to be ignorant to fly the Confederate flag.
But then I learned more about it and found out I was the ignorant one. Glad I had the sense to learn more about it before I started voting.
Rose McGowan is far from perfect. She was all "BELIEVE ALL WOMEN!" until Asia Argento's abuse and statutory rape came out (she groomed a 9 year old boy and eventually had sex with him) and then all of a sudden Rose was like "Eh, let's hear both sides!"
But her heart is usually in the right place when it comes to this kind of thing. It's just wasn't as black and white as she liked to think it was, once her friend became involved. Funny that.
I believe her, in this case.

100% chance she's telling the truth. Look at how bat shit crazy the Democrats are going to protect this cockroach. Biden left his basement and Kamala even re-appeared from out of nowhere to fly to California to help Gruesome Newsome try to cover this crap up. I fully expect the bribes, threats and backroom deals to be popping up faster than Michelle Obama's penis when "she" gets an erection.
Larry Elder said during a July 18 appearance on Prager University’s “The Candace Owens Show,” that an argument could be made in favor of reparations for slave owners whose legal “property” was taken from them after the Civil War.
You really are a special kind of stupid.
Larry wasn't saying they SHOULD get reparations. 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
He was pointing out how painfully stupid your sides argument is by applying it to someone else.
You are so far off you come back around from the other side like SEE, HIS ARGUMENT IS IDIOTIC. like, no... That was his point. It just went over your head. 🤦🏼♂️
I don't believe he really lost. I think California lost. Sheep don't usually find their own way home.
This is what it’s all about. It’s all a big game. A cess pool of lies and manipulation instead of simply doing the right thing. Hard to believe any of these people.
Don't care. This entire metoo movement is a shit show. It's purely used for power and personal gain. Rarely to report actual problems with rape and abuse.
