Dennis Quaid is taking heat for joining a $300 million federal public service campaign that reportedly will put a positive spin on the Trump administration’s handling of the COVID-19 emergency.
Since news of the ad blitz first broke on Politico, it has been earning criticism –including for its choice of celebrities set to tape spots.
“The Big Easy” star has publicly praised President Trump’s handling of the virus, and has already taped an ad with administration infectious-disease expert Anthony Fauci, Politico reported Friday.
Surgeon General Jerome Adams has paired with gospel singer CeCe Winans.
The Health and Human Services team creating the campaign also hopes to tap Dr. Oz — who, like President Trump, has touted the widely criticized hydroxychloroquine as a treatment — and singer Garth Brooks, the report said.

Only the a lib editor would call this “controversial”
I knew Randy was a Trump supporter. But Dennis? Very surprised.
The article quotes two random tweets as evidence of jeering. They probably could've found two random tweets praising Dennis Quaid and written a totally different story.
Such is the state of the news media today. This is why we all hate you.
From the Dennis Quaid Wikipedia page:
Born
Houston, Texas
Career
In March 2018, it was confirmed by director Sean McNamara that Quaid would portray President Ronald Reagan in an upcoming biopic, titled Reagan,[12] this would be the second time Quaid portrayed a U.S. president.[13] The film was slated to have a summer 2019 release, however it is still in pre-production [12] and was scheduled to begin filming in May 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[14]
Religion
Quaid is a Christian, writing the Christian song “On My Way to Heaven” dedicated to his mother and included in the film I Can Only Imagine, in which he starred.[44]
Political views
In a conversation with The New York Post, Quaid stated he was a registered independent and has voted for candidates from both major U.S. political parties. Quaid also expressed his independence from any political party or ideology and being open to other points of view.[50] During the coronavirus pandemic, Quaid stated that President Donald Trump was handling the spreading of the disease well, calling him “involved.”[51]

Finally putting Fauci’s publicity hounding to good use.
that reportedly will put a positive spin on the Trump administration’s handling of the COVID-19
No spin required. Here’s what Fauci said in an interview by Mark Levin on March 23. He had nothing but praise: The response of Trump administration has been impressive. I can’t imagine anybody could be doing more.
His brother is kinda “Out There” I’ll stop before I’m “Out There”
I don’t appreciate Actors, folks that Lie/Pretend for a living seem to think that their opinion matters to me
I actually Lived my Life

news does this all the time
Well, Dennis just gained a fan then.
Hate is actually not a strong enough word for how I feel about the media these days.
I remember THE BIG EASY poster...But, I have not actually seen the movie... But, THE ROOKIE is a good baseball movie...I did see the movie... The public service ad is not affecting my opinion of Dennis Quaid...I never had a negative opinion of him in the first place...
Main Stream Media= Enemy Of The People.
“I knew Randy was a Trump supporter. But Dennis? Very surprised.”
What do you think the “Q” is for? ;-)
Is Randy Q. still living at an undisclosed location in Canada with that short haired crazy lady?
The Quaid brothers’ dad, Buddy, was an occasional customer of my neighborhood bar in southwest Houston. He usually attended the Halloween parties as W. C. Fields. His wake was held there. Both the brothers were in attendance along with Meg Ryan. Dennis never left her side. Randy glad handed everyone. Buddy’s mother from Louisiana played a mean piano at an advanced age.
Well, as they say, it’s a small world after all.
So, they came from a family of entertainers. At least third generation. I can see Randy as being the one to make the rounds chatting with people at such an occasion. Dennis always seemed more introverted and thoughtful during interviews.
Ninety percent of “news stories” are nothing BUT Twitter quotes. Garbage.
It's shameful. "We're not going to go out and actually investigate this. We'll just read some replies on Twitter that support our view and anchor our story from there."
This new generation of journalists were taught nothing in college except for social justice activism and this is the result.
Wasn’t Dennis Quaid in the Alamo movie remake?
