Kathy Griffin, 59, is rushed to the ER with chest pains but says she is not allowed to get tested for COVID-19 before blaming Donald Trump

Comedienne Kathy Griffin said she had to go to the hospital after suffering 'UNBEARABLY PAINFUL symptoms' that seemed to be linked to COVID-19.

But once inside the ER, the My Life On The D-List star said she could not get tested for the virus due to CDC restrictions even though she was at a 'major' hospital.

And the 59-year-old star blamed President Donald Trump and his Vice President Mike Pence for not making the tests available.

She has lashed out at Trump before. In 2017 she posted a video of herself to Instagram where she was holding a mask made to look like the severed, bloody head of Trump.

'I caption this "there was blood coming out of his eyes, blood coming out of his...wherever,"' she said.

The shoot was from photographer Tyler Shields. 

Griffin later took down the image, and apologized publicly. CNN fired her from its New Year's Eve broadcast with Anderson Cooper because of it.
