CNN invited actor Sean Penn on their show to discuss what should be done in the midst of a “crisis” like the one we’re facing now with the coronavirus. Apparently Jeff Spicoli is the go-to guy in a time of national crisis. Who knew?
Needless to say, both CNN and Sean Penn got mocked and ridiculed something fierce by Twitter users, and I have to say, the comments were pretty darn funny:
“CNN bringing in crisis expert Sean Penn. What the hell is wrong with this network?”

Many angry liberals pointed out how Sean has done work in Haiti, organizing “stuff.” So, on that note, here’s Sean discussing that:

Clearly, Sean Penn is a ill-suited and not the person from whom anyone should be getting their “crisis advice.”
