jenichandlerbnd CNN STILL SUCKS.

That money should have been raised for regular people not lying political medical propagandists like the WHO

Great generosity ♥️🙏

Why for the WHO? Why not to ppl who have need?

WHO is for the world. Trump is for the mob

I watched this in UK, was very moving, thank you all.

I'm not speaking about the political part or the $ raised...IMHO, I enjoyed the show...It was a nice tribute to HealthcareHeroes FrontLineHeroes EssentialWorkerHeros and included all types of people and experiences around the world. ♥️

No thanks 😡

Bless The Lady!

You idiots just gave money to China and the very organization responsible for the cover up.

Wasted money for a horrible cause and corrupt organization with blood dripping from their hands. Another media stunt!!!!! They should be jailed and prosecuted for treason and murder worldwide!!!! Pathetic News coverage. Hope justice will be served.

With restrictions of funding for WHO, should US Gov then also stop the flow of recently donated funds from concert of fund in US banks - redirect from WHO to food banks within USA. Embargo so business people and charities can’t continue to do biz with WHO til truth found?

It was wonderful!!! Restored my hope in human kindness. ❤️

It was stupid as 🖕🏻 just like CNN reporting!!

mikiebarb

Lies 😂😂😂😂😂

Yep. All that money from idiots.

Why not raise it for people who are starving

Congratulations, proof WHO doesn't need Trump

The money will not go to anyone in need. Look at the Haiti Earthquake. The country never received the funds. It is still not back to where it was many years later. Quit deceiving everyone. You just funded the rich...again.... Not the poor.

Alternate headline: people donate money to the CCP.

Yes 128 million is good to replace 400 million of USA, and it's the best way to keep trump in silent

Disgraceful -

Another case of “Orange man bad” The President questions WHO and demands answers for their massive failure to alert the world of this virus. They covered up for China. The more we look into it the worse it gets. So celebrities step in to do what?

Well I hope it really goes to whoever needs it not the govt

Was absolutely an awesome performance- we are one!!

Why would anyone want to send them money? They dropped the ball from the very beginning of this whole thing. They are speakers for the ccp let the ccp pay them

Remember these treasonists, these are the people who would give your life for there agenda. I'm not a trumper just seen to much truth.

This proves how uninformed these celebrities are. The W.H.O. WAS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS VIRUS SPREADING ALL OVER THE WORLD AND THE DEATH OF THOUSANDS. By all means let’s raise money for them. What a bunch of dummies. Would not watch this if you paid me.

Fake news enemy of the people. Chinese news network

So they just funded the next man made virus that will wipe us out completely in the next 3-5 years. What a waste

8 hours? It was 2 hours.

maybe if the politicians were not getting paid. then they would know what it feels like to be broke. not able to pay their mortgage or rent, buy food, pay the electric bill. not one has taken a pay cut. how can they say we know how you feel?

What a waste The Who helped China cover this up from day one and refused to give any help or let Taiwan know about the virus. I guess the actors do know something we don’t..

The nation's 10 top billionaires should each match that right now. I'll wait.

☝️😭☝️🤲☝️😭☝️🌎☝️Help ☝️

Where is the money going? I hope it's to find better writers to come up with better LIES to tell the public.

Sickening

Communist sympathizers. A good chunk of popular entertainment has been nothing but useful idiots endorsing communism

The WHO helped the CCP try and cover up this mess and lie to the world. The WHO is a horrible organization just like the Chinese government.

Communist symphathizers.

That's nice that's the real basic it's a fair gesture specially for the whole world in these tough hard crucial circumstances.

Stars? They are drug addicts trying to get 5 minutes of fame in their dead careers

Seems the mega wealthy performers could have donated more than that. Did the multi millionaire Clinton & Obamas donate?

Why wasn't Beijing China deeply affected w/this

Give me a break.. like the WHO needs MORE money..

Good to know taxpayers wont be forced to pay

W.H.O IS GOING DOWN. TRUMP WILL GET THEM ALL! WWG1WGA..... gotta believe....

Я верю в лучшее

Why don’t they donate some of their own money those cheap MF’s. All they know is how to take other people’s money but they never know how to DONATE their own money 💰

Wouldof did better to give 10.000 to small business

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wish this went to an actual charity. Food banks, first responders, child care. What a waste

See, they don’t need our tax dollars!! Entitled people have their back.

Better than tax payers dollars. More things need to be privately funded.

Those stars could have donated that money them selves. Instead of taking from people that aren’t working, and are struggling them selves. OneWorldTogetherAtHome COVID19

realDonaldTrump should say he is cutting off the homeless and elderly,then they can get a marathon too!

They showed how small and insignificant they are in the big picture of things. Cheap PR stunt

8.5 million views in one week.. exposing CIA media and Hollywood for the Luciferians that they are. .. SymbolismWillBeTheirDownFall CrimesAgainstChildren

Wow $128,000,000 in the hands of the most corrupt organization in the world maybe out of kindness they will split with their other brother from a different mother and the UN as travel expenses with this covid19 crisis they both had a hand in it bussing will be expensive

CoverJoeBiden

Good deal!! Now tax dollars don't need to fund WHO

What a waste. The money should be given to different countries whose been hit hard by the virus. WHO has lost their credibility. They are protecting China 🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬

For the freakin WHO?!? How bout give that money directly to the food banks across the country where miles of cars with Americans are lined up for a few days worth of food. ComeonMan

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Way to go for the WHO!!!!! SundayMotivation GoodMorning coronavirus covid_19 COVID COVID19Colorado SundayMorning starsraisemillions 💴🌠💰🌠💴🌠💸🌠💰🌠💸🌠💵🌠💰🌠💵

😱

That's wonderful. Bezos and Gates could each add another billion apiece over whatever they already contribute and feel no pain at all.

The WHO spent more than than on travel expenses

What about the WHO ignoring Taiwan’s email? The WHO panders to China.

Germany’s largest newspaper comes out swinging against China. This is a must watch for US journalists who seem intent on doing China’s bidding. BildTV jreichelt

I contracted with WHO for several years in Washington DC. They never hired a single American worker over the years. It was nothing but foreign hiring and foreign spending, all paid for with USD coming from US taxpayers. WHO takes from the US and gives nothing back in return.

Wow. So many negative comments. I thought it was cool and a great way to say thanks to the front line workers? And if you also raise money that can be used for the fight that’s a double win.

Could they have made this more depressing. Here’s a thought- play some upbeat music. This was like a long drawn out funeral.

,×,x

Trust the world’s top stars to NOT know that the WHO is completely and thoroughly corrupt. They can be so annoying in their ignorance. That money will build tedros another nice little mansion somewhere in Somalia meanwhile those that need it most like the doctors/n are screwed.

Take that Donny!

MMoriTXGal GarrardSmith China must be thrilled!

With Bill Gates donating the $128. Shows the real disconnect. I was shocked seeing this on TV! Shame on you jimmyfallon ladygaga . ChinaLiedPeopleDie WHOLiedPeopleDied

realDonaldTrump all in your name Donald

Good we don’t have to pay them

FAKE NEWS

That about covers USA's contribution to the WHO no? Moving on...

Excellent can you let us know how much of that was from Microsoft. Betting not much from others

When will they do their job, preventing pandemics, they already blew it!

They don’t need the American taxpayers money then. 👍🏼

That’s bulshit while knew what’s was going on better give the money to the first responders

illuminati helping the deep state

Cool concept, awful cause.

Why are people so blinded to all the corruption with in organizations like the WHO do you really think this money will go to research or resource for the pandemic absolutely not it will go to pay for their Extravagant living, while US suffer grows

Hollywood sucks.

Well that should pay for their travel next year! Bunch of dumb people!

The Chinese government thanks you

Breaking they're 322M shy of the 450M in taxpayers dollars they're not getting from US CarryOn

People trying to help others, always a good thing. Then, there is this IDIOT.

OMG. Disgusting. Idiots that organization hid information as they protected China. Wake up!

Global citizen my ass.

At the end of January the WHO was saying this about the COVID-19. Think about it.

FYI, USA gives them $500 million using our tax payers dollars. Will definitely not donate anymore to WHO. All of trump supporters are saying they are corrupt. The last thing I would do is believe anything that comes from that base. Let’s do an investigation and show proof plz.

...propagandas, main while I still have this.

Trumpmustfall

cdayphillips1

Just like Hollywood was full of traitors and communist sympathizers during the coldwar, China will have many allies in the entertainment industry. 🤷🏻‍♂️ not the smartest group of people. How many loved Hugo Chavez? Sean Penn is a great actor....and a communist.

So perfect, celebrities coming together and donating to a terrible org

GovHowardDean Fantastic!

Fantastic event well done to all, and this side of the water congratulations to captaintommoore who single handedly raised nearly £26 million for the NHS 100yrs old, age is but a number 🎤

Celebs trying to remain relevant.

Raise money for America! Stop supporting corruption WTF

Wow

The best entry of the night, hands down, was Taylor Swift. “Soon you’ll get better” her composition off of “Lover” dealing with her mother’s cancer was a poignant and meaningful lyric for this show. She looked great and delivered the song solid. Not even a foot race.

let's support the WHO after they repeated everything China told them to say even after China knowing about the scope and danger of this virus closed off travel from Wuhan to the rest of China but encouraged it to the rest of the world spreading the virus everywhere. Criminal

Trash organization that cost American lives and crushed the economy. WHOLiedPeopleDied

World wide pandemic and all you could pull was $128M?!? That’s about 0.0056 seconds worth of WHO operating budget. Great job social justice warriors.

The people complaining about this probably have done literally nothing to help defeat this virus

Deep State raising money from the Deep State to pay to the Deep State! WHAT A WASHING MACHINE!

Great, but so sad that this is how we need to fund this. America is sinking.

GREAT...then they don’t need my tax dollars...glad the usa is NOT funding the CCP backed WHO

Well that is almost enough ($128 million) to over their annual first class travel ($200 million last year). If you donated money before the US investigation is completed - you are a fool!

They can now upgrade to first class travel from biz class

Wish the stream itself was a bit better but bravo to everyone who donated and the artists for giving performances to give people some calmness during these times, this shows that there's still some hope in humanity left

China thanks you.

Great, they don’t need our money then..

WHO need to change top structure,defund to push the leadership step down. They are so corruptions. The found rising straight to the corrupt leaders.

That’s nice...

Thank you celebrity’s for giving the big FU to America and it’s unemployed workforce. Wouldn’t expect anything else from you idiots.

Wow. That was a lot of wasted money.

Umm...WHO consists of doctors & researchers from many different countries including U.S. So they are all corrupt? Doesn't sound right, does it? Sounds like another Trump distraction to me.

The Who....😂🤦‍♂️

I didn't watch...is dingell planning on staying in office untill she is like Ruth Ginsburg also? why she was elected shows the intelligence of michigan voters. she should be recalled also...

“Amazing Grace” for a united world.

Don’t they know Japan is also question WHO? Japan is taking out their manufacturing out of China!

You should give that money to small businesses not to the China supporters people killing global liars!

Well isn’t this all sorts of messed up!

Why not for the thousands of unemployed small business owners instead of the WHO.

So they can continue their plan to kill people by forced vaccinations... hard pass!

Good. So the federal government doesn't need to fund them after all. This is win/win, right?

Not from me! You can take your New World Order BS and shove it up your COVID!

Wow, if Trump and his uneducated Republican base sees or heard this, I dont think they will take it cool... this is what we should all be about at this moment.. Love

4 times what China gives pretty good.

fake news ,next

Sad

Even better, no realDonaldTrump and no FLOTUS! Michelle and Laura were amazing.

These people can all go F themselves. Also F the WHO

omg

Amazing

Should get them plenty of first class travel and five star hotels.

HEADLINE: Show Business Celebrities Raise $127M For Corrupt Organization! What is the matter with these people? The UN and WHO have become corrupt and incompetent institutions rum by communists. Trump did the right thing!

ガガやエルトンジョンは嫌いじゃないけど、どうもお金持ちの壮大なオナニーショーを見せ付けられてるようでさ、寄付の先がWHOだったり、ホントに辛い思いしてるのは現場の医療従事者で、前線で死闘を繰り広げてる人はその時間に見れるのか?交代要員を用意して楽しんでねならいいけど。

Wow. Not surprised. Hollywood responded for any group that is filthy like planned parenthood. 5000 babies BUTCHERED every week by demonic Democrats and abortion docs. Now W.H.O . RESPOSIBLE FOR 100000 DEATHS IN COVER UP .. PATHETIC

Why was it on for only 2 hours?

Was Trump there oh no he missed a good one

Just so they can blow it all on expensive trips

One World..... minus America... thanks to Trump looking for a scapegoat.

Wow just wow let’s hope they put it to good use GlblCtzn haiti

Ridiculous, WHO told everyone to open borders and virus could not be transferred from human to human. Why are we raising money for an organization that has killed so many people. ?

Money down the sink sad. Should have gone to the Red Cross or first responders. The WHO was incompetent at best.

China approves! They are going to need it. Epstein would have donated as well.

What I think about the WHO

Well done to all of them. God bless

“One World, TogetherAtHome” virtual global special. TwitterThumbsUp 👍🏿 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 $128million Covid_19 OneWorldTogetherAtHome TogetherAtHome

We shall see the victory plain very soon

Donating to a corrupt cause , sounds about right for the left !

$128 million pissed away. Good job.

And i might just be the only person who didn't watch it. 🤷 I tried, but I couldn't, pop music is like an ice pick to my ears. I felt like I was watching the hunger games. 😂

Amazing stars, real Heroes . A happy and productive world is not based on the number of days ,months, or years it has been affected by a pandemic,Natural disaster or an Epidemic. Its about how much citizens in the world 🌎 and aggressive leaders come together to crush it down.

Why is this on my feed!

Chinese Gov't is very Happy with our moronic celebrities.
