James O'Keefe speaks to personel at virus testing site (Twitter/screen grab)
Fringe provocateur James O'Keefe got a surprise on Twitter after he posted a video claiming that COVID-19 is "just the flu."
In a "breaking" video posted on Tuesday, O'Keefe speaks to someone identified as a "Army National Guardsman."
O'Keefe is seen speaking to the person -- who is wearing an N95 mask -- through a car window.
The alleged guardsman repeatedly points out that he is not a doctor.
"It's just the flu?" O'Keefe asks.
"That's all it is," the person responds.
"There's basically telling me it's just a bad flu," O'Keefe remarks.
The video did not go over well on Twitter, where O'Keefe was mocked for downplaying the virus.
