Rosie O’Donnell strongly criticized Donald Trump for his handling of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. O’Donnell and Trump have famously feuded over the years and the 57-year-old actress and former talk show host reignited their war of words in a recent interview with TMX News on Thursday.
She joined a bevy of other celebrities in criticizing Trump’s slow response to the coronavirus in the United States. “There’s tremendous confusion, and it comes right from President Trump and it started from him saying it was a hoax, a Democratic hoax,” O’Donnell said (via People).
The comedian was referencing a speech Trump gave at a Feb. 28 rally in South Carolina where he seemingly downplayed the severity of the coronavirus by calling it another “hoax”.
