"Charmed" alum Holly Marie Combs is holding President Donald Trump accountable for the death of her grandfather, a Trump supporter who died from the coronavirus.
On Monday, Combs announced on Twitter that her grandfather contracted COVID-19 and died after Trump downplayed the risk of the virus in its early weeks in the United States.
"He voted for you. He believed you when you said this virus was no worse than the flu," Combs tweeted. "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."
Combs' issued her tweet in response to a tweet from Trump, where he denied calling the coronavirus a "hoax."
"I never said the pandemic was a Hoax!" Trump wrote on April 25. "Who would say such a thing? I said that the Do Nothing Democrats, together with their Mainstream Media partners, are the Hoax. They have been called out & embarrassed on this, even admitting they were wrong, but continue to spread the lie!"
On Feb. 28 at a Charleston, South Carolina, rally, Trump called the coronavirus the Democrats' "new hoax" to damage him and his administration. That day, there were 59 confirmed cases and two coronavirus deaths in the United States, according to the World Health Organization. There were 4,691 cases around the globe.
Throughout February and early March, Trump insisted the U.S. had the coronavirus under control and that Americans should stay calm. At a televised visit to the CDC on March 6, Trump said the coronavirus "came out of nowhere."
