'He believed every lie': Actress blames president for coronavirus death of Trump-loving grandfather

Published 4 mins ago on April 29, 2020

By Travis Gettys



A television actress blames President Donald Trump for the coronavirus death of her grandfather.

Holly Marie Combs, who appeared in the TV series “Charmed” and “Picket Fences,” revealed that her Trump-supporting grandfather had died from COVID-19 after the president downplayed the risks from the pandemic, reported USA Today.

“He voted for you,” Combs tweeted at the president. “He believed you when you said this virus was no worse than the flu. He believed every lie you muttered and sputtered. He died today from Covid-19 one day after his 66th wedding anniversary. You’re a disgrace to the human race.”

The 46-year-old Combs leveled the accusations in response to an April 25 tweet from the president insisting — falsely — that he had never called the coronavirus a hoax.



In fact, Trump dismissed the virus during a Feb. 28 campaign rally as the Democrats’ “new hoax” aimed at undermining his presidency, and he spent February and much of March assuring Americans the outbreak was under control — despite dire warnings from health officials, the military and intelligence services.

Combs’ allegations infuriated the president’s online supporters, who lashed out at the actress.

“Sorry for your loss but how dare you blame Trump!” tweeted @cindyinpgi. “Absolutely disgraceful and your wonderful grandfather would probably feel the same way about your despicable behavior!”

Combs brushed off the criticism, saying she had “zero tolerance for Trumpers. Zero.”

“Take it to someone else’s timeline,” she tweeted. “Not today Satan.”

I wonder if people who have lost loved ones to COVID can file wrongful death lawsuits against DOLT45?

everyone else.

In fact, I'm thinking there will be a bunch of things coming up after Trump is out of office.

While his becoming president has been the worst thing that can happen to us, it also may end up being the worst thing that could have happened to the Trump family business.

Because you know what? I'm sick and tired of these billionaire parasites sucking money out of our treasury just like remoras suck blood out of a shark. We need a massive tax increase that redistributes wealth, makes billionaires into millionaires and taxes corporations at reasonable levels without all those loopholes.

They have been waging class war on us since the New Deal passed. Even before then. And they never talk about it unless we fight back.

You'd think they'd be feeling super confident from all the winning. Instead, they sound like frightened little boys.

I know the planet would be better off without them. I wish them a speedy exit off this mortal coil.
