During a fundraiser in San Francisco, President Joe Biden expressed his wish that former President Donald Trump had injected himself with bleach. Biden referenced a false claim that Trump had suggested people should “inject bleach” to treat the coronavirus. Biden stated, “Remember him saying the best thing to do is just inject a little bleach in your arm? That’s what he said. And he meant it. I wish he had done a little bit himself.”
It is important to note that Trump never actually suggested injecting bleach into one’s arm. His comments were in reference to experimental UV technology and its potential use in the human body. The White House transcript showed that Trump was discussing the use of ultraviolet or powerful light to potentially combat the virus, not injecting bleach.
Despite the lack of truth in the claim, it has been repeated by Democrats such as Jen Psaki and Nancy Pelosi. This false narrative persists, even though Trump clarified that the disinfectant method he mentioned would not involve injection.
