Chrissy Teigen calls out Ivanka Trump's 'camp out' tweet, asks for coronavirus testing
Chrissy Teigen had a question about Ivanka Trump’s suggestion that families stuck at home with kids during the coronavirus pandemic plan a living room campout.
President Trump’s daughter and adviser had recommended that her followers “throw a bedsheet over some taped together brooms. Plan a menu & ‘pack’ sandwiches, salads.” Trump joked that s’mores were optional.
Teigen was not amused.
“After we quote pack unquote sandwiches can we please have Covid tests,” she wrote Tuesday to her 12.4 million followers.

Earlier in the day, the frequent tweeter had called on Ivanka’s step-mother, first lady Melania Trump, to do something with her Be Best initiative to spotlight “regular ass awesome people” doing good works during the health crisis.
“ALL I have seen this bot do is gently touch Christmas ornaments in a cape and stare in a cape and pat statues in a different cape and then change her cape into a rude ass jacket,” Teigen wrote, in part.
However, the came to the defense of Vanessa Hudgens, who found herself apologizing for “insensitive” comments that she made about the seriousness of the virus.
