Comedian and former CNN host Kathy Griffin was forced to delete a tweet that showed students at Covington Catholic High School—the same school involved in a viral confrontation with protesters in Washington D.C.—playing basketball.

“Covington’s finest throwing up the new nazi sign,” wrote Griffin, claiming that some players were holding their thumb and pointer fingers together along with three other fingers up in the air.
