Biden campaign hammers Trump on anniversary of 'inject bleach' comment [View all]
Four years ago today then-President Donald Trump, on live national television during what would be known as merely the early days and weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, suggested an injection of a household "disinfectant" could cure the deadly coronavirus.
The Biden campaign on Tuesday has already posted five times on social media about Trump's 2020 remarks, including by saying, "Four years ago today, Dr. Birx reacted in horror as Trump told Americans to inject bleach on national television."
Less than 24 hours after Trump's remarks calls to the New York City Poison Control Center more than doubled, including people complaining of Lysol and bleach exposure. Across the country, the CDC reported, calls to state and local poison control centers jumped 20 percent.
"It was a watershed moment, soon to become iconic in the annals of presidential briefings. It arguably changed the course of political history," Politico reported on the one-year anniversary of Trump's bleachdebacle. "It quickly came to symbolize the chaotic essence of his presidency and his handling of the pandemic."
