Hollywood Liberal Posts Damning Quote Attributed to Ted Cruz — Except It’s Fake. She Later Apologizes, Sort of.
A day after actress Rose McGowan posted to her Twitter account a damning, made-up quote attributed to Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, the former “Charmed” star issued an apology — sort of.

The made-up quote McGowan posted is part of meme from the website “Stop the World, the Teabaggers Want to Get Off,” and includes a photo of Cruz standing next to Josh Duggar, who has apologized for “teenage mistakes” connected to decade-old child molestation charges.
Here’s what the meme has the Texas senator saying on May 22: “While there may have been an age difference, Josh Duggar’s transgressions are far less an affront to God than what gays do with each other.”

McGowan’s post included commentary on the fake Cruz quote: “You are blight on the soul of humanity. Get off of my planet. #TedCruz #f***wits #rapists #criminals”
The next morning, after having been hit with responses letting her know she was spreading a falsehood about Cruz, a profane McGowan at first appeared defiant:

But then she relented, issuing a sort-of apology with — you guessed it — more profanity and stereotyping:

“I’m sorry I said #TedCruz liked child molesters. OK?” McGowan finally tweeted. “No (sic) go back to hating gays …”

Her early life:
McGowan, the second-eldest of six children (plus two half-siblings), was born in Certaldo, Italy, the daughter of Terri, a writer, and Daniel McGowan, an artist. Her parents were American, and she has Irish and French ancestry.[1] Daniel McGowan ran an Italian chapter of the Children of God, to which both he and his wife held membership until 1978.[2] McGowan spent her early childhood amid the group's communes, often traveling Europe with her parents.[citation needed] Interviewed by Howard Stern, she stated she had avoided the group's calls for members to become sexually active as children ("I waited till I was 14.") and described the practice of 'flirty fishing' as "creepy". Through her father's art contacts in Italy, McGowan became a child model and appeared in Vogue Bambini and various other Italian magazines. Her parents returned to the United States when she was ten years old, when they divorced. She subsequently relocated to Oregon.[citation needed]
McGowan's formative years were spent with her father in Seattle, Washington, attending Roosevelt High School and Nova Alternative High School. At the age of 15, she officially emancipated herself from her parents.[3] McGowan pursued a career in the film industry during her late teens while enrolled in a beauty school as a back-up.
