Axl Rose, Steven Mnuchin Trade Twitter Jabs Over the Coronavirus Pandemic

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Guns N’ Roses lead vocalist Axl Rose exchanged insults on Twitter over Mnuchin’s handling of the 🦠Coronavirus Outbreak.

Rose initiated the exchange.

“It’s official! Whatever anyone may have previously thought of Steve Mnuchin he’s officially an a******,” Rose tweeted.

Mnuchin fired back at Rose asking him, “What have you done for the country lately?”

He made the mistake of initially using an emoji of the Liberia flag next to his tweet which he quickly replaced with an emoji of the American flag.

Rose caught on and was quick to criticize Mnuchin’s error. He also claimed the Trump administration is responsible for the rising coronavirus death toll.

“My bad I didn’t get we’re hoping emulate Liberia’s economic model but on the real unlike this admin I’m not responsible for 70k+ deaths n’ unlike I don’t hold a fed gov position of responsibility the American people n’ go on TV tellin them travel the US during a pandemic,” Rose said.

Rose’s comments come shortly after Mnuchin told Americans to focus on domestic travel as he is unsure of when international travel will resume.
