When we think of Rob Lowe, we think of Chris Traeger, LITERALLY the most positive character to appear on television. What we pretty easily forget is that he’s kind of the worst. Particularly politically. Just a few months back, he was outraged by football players kneeling during the National Anthem to protest police continuously murdering black people without consequence. Now he’s annoyed by people protesting Donald Trump’s Muslim ban. Because the real victims of the ban are those inconvenienced at LAX. SAD.
Just landed. Saw grandmas and little children dragging heavy luggage for for BLOCKS just trying to get home. #laxprotest
