Nick Cordero’s Widow Amanda Kloots Calls Donald Trump's Tweet About COVID-19 'Hurtful' and 'Disgraceful'

2020 presidential debates is just about here. After a chaotic first matchup between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, a more subdued (but still buzzy) vice presidential debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, and dueling Trump-Biden town hall events in lieu of a second debate, the whole process has felt long and, at times, extremely disorderly.

Ellise Shafer editorPresident Donald Trump took to Twitter on Saturday afternoon to criticize NBC News anchor Kristen Welker, who will be moderating the final presidential debate on Oct. 22.“She’s always been terrible and unfair, just like most of the Fake News reporters, but I’ll still play the game,” Trump tweeted.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump had town halls at the exact same time on Thursday (October 15) (despite petitions and protests from Hollywood stars to stagger the time slots), and Biden easily won in the ratings department.

Ted Johnson, Dominic Patten Donald Trump’s town hall with NBC News — competing against a similar event with Joe Biden on ABC News — opened with a contentious series of questions with moderator Savannah Guthrie.At times, Trump sounded angry and irate as Guthrie grilled him over the details of his testing results, his failure to immediately condemn white supremacists and his trafficking of conspiracy theories.Guthrie, co-anchor of Today, asked Trump why he retweeted a tweet earlier this week that

Whoopi Goldberg, 64, and Joy Behar, 78, are now wondering if Donald Trump, 74, lied about his COVID-19 diagnosis. Despite testing positive for the virus on Oct. 1, Trump left the hospital just four days later and resumed his campaign rallies on Oct. 12. So, Whoopi went out on a limb on the Oct. 15 episode of The View to admit, “The more he talks, the less I think he had it, personally.”

Donald Trump is putting NBC on blast at the same time as Hollywood stars.

Ted Johnson NBC News indicated that it is not backing off plans for a town hall with Donald Trump scheduled at the same time that ABC News is doing a similar event with Joe Biden.The scheduling has drawn criticism, including from more than 100 producers, directors and writers who signed their names to a letter urging NBC to move the time of the town hall.In a statement, Cesar Conde, chairman of NBCU News Group, said, “We share in the frustration that our event will initially air alongside the

Ted Johnson NBC News is taking heat for its decision to schedule a town hall on Thursday evening with President Donald Trump that will compete head-to-head with ABC News’ event with Joe Biden.The backlash comes after Trump refused to participate in a virtual town hall debate with Biden, long scheduled for Oct. 15, forcing the Commission on Presidential Debates to cancel the event.

Nellie Andreeva Co-Editor-in-Chief, TVMore than 100 writers, actors, directors and producers are speaking out against NBC’s plan to air a town hall with President Donald Trump tonight at 8 PM directly opposite the Joe Biden town hall on ABC.In an open letter to Comcast CEO Brian Roberts, NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell and NBCU News Group chairman Cesar Conde, the Hollywood heavyweights are asking for the Trump town hall to be shifted from the time slot.

Amanda Kloots has received an outpouring of support after slamming Donald Trump for telling Americans not to “be afraid” of coronavirus. Hailey Baldwin re-posted Amanda’s message on her Instagram Story, as did Maren Morris, who added, “Your words are so powerful and necessary. I’m so sorry for your loss.” On Twitter, Laura Benanti wrote, “I’m not surprised by the ‘President’s callous and disgusting selfishness, but I’m still horrified.

We’re almost certain the last thing Amanda Kloots wanted on the three-month anniversary of Nick Cordero‘s death from coronavirus was to rip Donald Trump a new a**hole on social media, but he definitely had it coming.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorPresident Trump, holed up in the White House after being infected with the coronavirus, falsely claimed in Facebook and Twitter posts Tuesday that COVID-19 is “far less lethal” than the season flu.Facebook removed the president’s post, citing a violation of the social network’s policy against COVID-19 misinformation.Twitter left Trump’s post up, but hid it behind a warning label that said, “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about spreading misleading and

Amanda Kloots just posted a heartbreaking message after Donald Trump‘s tweet about COVID-19.

Greg Evans Associate Editor/Broadway CriticAmanda Kloots, the former actress who chronicled her late husband Nick Cordero’s painful decline from COVID-19, has responded to Donald Trump’s Don’t let COVID dominate your life advice, calling the president’s words sad, hurtful and disgraceful.Yesterday Trump, hospitalized over the weekend for COVID treatment, announced his departure from Walter Reed Medical Center with instantly divisive tweet, “Don’t be afraid of Covid.

Donald Trump outraged many people with his tweet that urged Americans not to be “afraid of COVID,” but Amanda Kloots was especially enraged. The 38-year-old’s husband, Broadway actor, Nick Cordero, died from extreme complications due to coronavirus in July, leaving her to raise their one-year-old son, Elvis, on her own. On Oct. 5, Amanda took to social media to express her anger toward the president for his latest response to the disease.

Ted Johnson Joe Biden said that he was not surprised by the news that President Donald Trump tested positive for COVID-19, telling NBC News’ Lester Holt that “anybody who contracts the virus by essentially saying masks don’t matter, social distancing doesn’t matter, are responsible for what happens to them.”Appearing at NBC News’ outdoor town hall in Miami, Biden did say that he was glad that the president “seems to be coming along pretty well.”But alluding to the president’s return to the White

Greg Evans Associate Editor/Broadway CriticPresident Donald Trump’s advice today – “Don’t be afraid of Covid” – didn’t go down well with some in the Hollywood community, including actor Zach Braff, whose friend, Broadway actor Nick Cordero, died last July of complications from the coronavirus.“You don’t have covid for the weekend,” Braff tweeted today.
