So it’d be interesting to check that.”īut Trump never said people should try this themselves. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. Sounds interesting, right? And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. Trump, while looking back at Bryan at times, said: “So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. That was during an April 2020 press briefing in which William Bryan, then the head of the science and technology directorate at the Department of Homeland Security, discussed DHS research on the ways the coronavirus reacted on nonporous surfaces when exposed to heat, humidity, sunlight and disinfectant. He did suggest having scientists test the use of “very powerful light” and “disinfectant” in the body to kill the disease. “Remember when he told us, ‘Don’t worry this will all be over by Easter’? Remember when he told us, literally, inject bleach?”įirst, Trump did not “literally” tell the public to “inject bleach” as a treatment for COVID-19. “When the pandemic hit, Trump failed the most basic duty any president owes the American people: a duty to care and a duty to respond,” Biden said. In one of his Scranton speeches, Biden criticized how Trump managed the COVID-19 pandemic, but he also misrepresented pandemic-related statements that Trump made. Trump spent the week in a New York court room as a jury was selected for the criminal fraud case alleging that Trump falsified business records to cover up state and federal election law violations after paying to keep allegations of extramarital affairs a secret during the 2016 presidential campaign. He started off his trip to the state on April 16 in Scranton, and then visited Pittsburgh and Philadelphia the following two days. In 2020, Biden, who was born in Scranton, won the presidency after winning the state of Pennsylvania. The president also repeated misleading claims we’ve fact-checked before - on taxes, jobs, deficit reduction, the Affordable Care Act, and Trump’s comments on Social Security and Medicare. Biden wrongly said he was “the second-youngest man ever elected to the Senate.” He was the second-youngest from Delaware, but the sixth-youngest overall.The president falsely said there were “more people in retirement than working” in China.Biden got ahead of himself in touting Medicare savings, due to drug price negotiations, that won’t happen for several years.He didn’t tell people to “inject bleach.” Biden twisted Trump’s words about the COVID-19 pandemic, saying, “Remember when he told us, literally, inject bleach?” Trump suggested having scientists test the use of “very powerful light” and “disinfectant” in the body to kill the disease.We flagged some false and misleading claims, including several common talking points: While former President Donald Trump spent much of his week in court, President Joe Biden visited the swing state of Pennsylvania for three days and gave speeches in Scranton, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
