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.

Yeppers. If you’re into cop movies, he was in The Big Easy back in the 80’s, which I found very entertaining.
