It’s now a celebrity trend to blame the President for everything related to Coronavirus, including if they’ve contracted it or not. Kathy Griffin is the latest celebrity to come down with the virus and she’s MAD about it.
Griffin responded to a tweet from the President with a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed. The President said the US has done more testing than anyone else, to which Griffin responded, “he’s lying.”
“He’s lying. I was sent to the #COVID19 isolation ward room in a major hospital ER from a separate urgent care facility after showing UNBEARABLY PAINFUL symptoms. The hospital couldn’t test me for #coronavirus because of CDC (Pence task force) restrictions. #TESTTESTTEST,” Griffin tweeted.

However, some people pointed out that the hospital actually stopped testing to try to contain the spread AT THE ADVICE of the health department.
