Kathy Griffin attempted to smear Donald Trump when she landed in the hospital this week. The obsessed D-List comedian who has a history of blaming the President for her own poor personal decisions was angry because she wasn’t tested for coronavirus. No matter if her underlying symptoms, or eventual diagnosis, match. Kathy Griffin is still upset – she wants her coronavirus test and she wants it now!
But there was a simple explanation for why Griffin didn’t get a tested. She has an abdominal infection which is clearly unrelated to the virus. Biology is hard for some people. Coronavirus is a respiratory disease. Your lungs aren’t in your abdomen. They are in your chest.
On Wednesday, Griffin took to Twitter because she wanted a coronavirus test. However, she committed a big faux pas. In the tweet where she blamed Trump, she shared a picture of herself wearing a mask that proved she did not need oxygen.
BACKSTORY: Kathy Griffin Blames Trump From Hospital Bed But Her Photo Has Some Questioning Her Story
““He’s lying,” Griffin wrote in a tweet with a picture that contradicts her story. “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”
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.

Kathy Griffin Wants Her Coronavirus Test
Hospitals are only testing people who are high risk or showing severe symptoms because tests are limited, and so is personnel. They cannot use manpower to test anyone who demands it. That would detract from helping people who are truly in need.
Being a washed-up celebrity who is looking to take cheap shots at President Trump isn’t an excuse to get tested for coronavirus.
Griffin is now at home resting from her abdominal infection.
Despite getting a proper diagnosis from medical professionals, the angry ginger of Tinseltown is still upset that she wasn’t tested for coronavirus. It’s almost as though she wants to have the virus for attention. Perhaps she believes she can use a diagnosis to resurrect her career and attack the President.
Or maybe she’s just selfish and determined to waste critical resources. Your guess is as good as mine.
Late Thursday afternoon, Griffin returned to Twitter to share the story of her abdominal infection. Many of us reading this recognize a story of a woman with a stomach bug who was treated and released the same day. But rather than taking some Tums, Griffin is demanding attention and anger towards Trump over her tummy ache.
Kathy Griffin’s Countless Coronavirus Tweets
The nearly obsolete comedian is clearly starving for attention. Just look at all these tweets!
A) "Kathy Griffin might have been exposed to the coronavirus. Or she might not have. After a recent trip to urgent care and the emergency room while gravely ill, the comic wasn’t able to get tested." https://t.co/0uJSuU8dLa @latimes @TheCDZ

B) “Griffin has an abdominal infection that is being treated with medication, though she won’t know whether she’s turned the corner for a couple of days, she told The Times in a phone interview Wednesday afternoon. She’s back home, and she’s not going out anytime soon.”
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) March 26, 2020
C) “’I remember vividly the doctor telling me … ‘I’m going to send you to Cedars ER today because I don’t think I could get you in 13 days from now,’ Griffin said. She was freaked out.”
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) March 26, 2020
D) “She said she also saw a bunch of ‘really smart, incredibly brave people’ who cared deeply about what they were doing. Griffin said she kept telling everyone they were heroes. She couldn’t praise the health-care workers enough.”
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) March 26, 2020
E) “Despite going to the ER with a slew of symptoms, she said she still has no idea whether she’s positive or negative for the novel coronavirus. Only time and testing will tell.”
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) March 26, 2020
F) “’I just don’t have an answer. I don’t know,’ she said. ‘Someone at Cedars said to me, we cannot give you this test because of the CDC guidelines. I’m suggesting that the guidelines are still too strict because they don’t have enough tests.’”
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) March 26, 2020
G) “As of Thursday morning, the CDC was reporting 68,440 coronavirus cases in the United States and 994 deaths.”

Not So Fast, Kathy Griffin
Of course, some people saw right through Griffin’s hollow complaints. They turned the tables to put Griffin on blast for using this pandemic as a political publicity stunt.
Kathy Griffin. Diverting critical and limited medical resources to a publicity stunt fueled by Stage 4 TDS during a pandemic is despicable.

What this woman will do for attention …. sad. In the ER, in “excruciating pain” … but still manages to take selfies and be on Twitter. I call bullshit.

Career Suicide
Griffin’s career was left in crumbles after she posted a photo of herself posing with the bloody severed head of the President. Is that something a normal person would do?
Kathy Griffin didn’t take responsibility for her own career suicide, and now she wants to blame Trump for her abdominal issue. No, Kathy Griffin, they don’t give you a coronavirus test for an upset tummy.
The 59-year-old made her bed and now it’s time to lie in it. Literally.
The level of entitlement exuded by Griffin and her tone deaf celebrity friends is so typical yet disturbing. It’s time for a wake-up call.
