Actress Rose McGowan called out the Black Lives Matter movement during her event with California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder, arguing that people should stop labeling themselves based on race and instead focus on their humanity.
“They want to hear that the more we label each other the better off we will be,” McGowan said at a press conference on Sunday. “The reality is that today I challenge this state, I challenge these voters, I challenge the media, to save. Be human first, vote for humanity.”
The comments came during a press conference the actress held with Elder, who leads the field among candidates to become the next governor of California if current Gov. Gavin Newsom is removed from his post in the election of revocation of the state Tuesday.

McGowan appeared alongside the Republican candidate after accusing Newsom’s wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom of trying to persuade her not to go public with her allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
“So this woman, I don’t know, a blonde female name with the last name of Newsom, is calling me cold, and was like, David Boies wants to know what it would take to make you happy,” said McGowan during an appearance on The Rubin Report.
McGowan said at the event on Sunday that she was no longer a democrat. She also said that despite having different political views than Elder, she believed he was “the best candidate and the best man”.
McGowan specifically challenged white media and critics to disagree with his message as a black man simply because he disagrees with the Black Lives Matter movement.
“Understand who this is from and that he might know more than you who live in different skin,” McGowan said.
Elder himself challenged the rise of critical politics of racial theory at the event, saying he did not “believe in systemic racism.”

“The first time Gallup asked about racism, whether or not you would vote for a black president, was in 1958,” Elder said. “And the percentage that said yes was in their thirties. Now only three percent said they wouldn’t vote for a black president.”
“I will unite when I become governor,” Elder continued. “I’m going to use my chair as a bully to unite us. Because we have so much more in common than we have apart.”
