JACKSON, Wyo. – Two diverse reactions to the death of Qassem Soleimani are achieving buzzworthy circulation on Twitter today—one from a Hollywood actress; the other from a Wyoming Congresswoman.
Following an airstrike by the United States that killed General Soleimani, commander of Iran’s Quds Force, actress Rose McGowan apologized on behalf of the U.S. in a tweet.
Dear #Iran, The USA has disrespected your country, your flag, your people. 52% of us humbly apologize. We want peace with your nation. We are being held hostage by a terrorist regime. We do not know how to escape. Please do not kill us. #Soleimani pic.twitter.com/YE54CqGCdr

“Dear #Iran, The USA has disrespected your country, your flag, your people. 52% of us humbly apologize,” McGowan commented on Twitter early this morning. “We want peace with your nation. We are being held hostage by a terrorist regime. We do not know how to escape. Please do not kill us. #Soleimani.”
At the other end of the spectrum is U.S. Representative from Wyoming Liz Cheney, who took to Twitter to wish the terrorist good riddance and support President Trump for ordering the bombing.
Qassem Soleimani was an evil and deadly terrorist with the blood of thousands, including hundreds of Americans, on his hands. @realDonaldTrump was right to order decisive action to kill Soleimani to prevent further attacks and defend American lives and interests.
