Patricia Arquette has responded to the trolling she received after making an error about Nato.

The Oscar and Emmy award-winning actor was tweeting about the Russia-Ukraine war, when she shared the post: “Kick Russia out of NATO.”

Many proceeded to point out that Russia is not a part of Nato, following which Arquette was sent a deluge of messages criticising her for her mistake.

Others jumped to Arquette’s defence, with journalist Jim Swift writing: “Imagine being Patricia Arquette and not looking at your phone for like an hour and coming back to this.”

Arquette herself addressed the trolling and replied: “I really couldn’t give 2 s***s. I’m dyslexic I meant UN. They can covfefe themselves.”

The actor was referencing the word “covfefe“, which was widely presumed to be a typo used by Donald Trump in a tweet that went viral when he was US president.’

Trump maintained that the wording was intentional, but reporters believed he was supposed to have written the word “coverage”.
