Paris Terror Tweets Sink to New Lowe
November 13, 2015 – Mark Twain once said that “comedy is tragedy plus time,” and for Rob Lowe, the amount of time needed for a comedic attempt is apparently only minutes. The Grinder star is getting flambeed on social media after tweeting about today’s terrorist attacks which have left more than 100 dead in Paris. As French President Francois Hollande took to the airwaves declaring a state of emergency and announcing a closure of the country’s borders, the actor tweeted the following:
Oh, NOW France closes its borders. #Hollande

He then followed with:
This is either the worst translation of an important speech ever, or one of the worst ever given. #Hollande — Rob Lowe (@RobLowe) November 13, 2015
The internet quickly turned on Lowe, expressing various degrees of anger and disgust with the ill-timed comments.
Rob Lowe you’re a knob. Love, Europe. RT @RobLowe: Oh, NOW France closes its borders. #Hollande
