The morning after President Donald Trump mused at a nationally televised briefing that injecting disinfectant could be a treatment for COVID-19 patients, Doocy, a co-host of “Fox & Friends,” issued a warning to his Fox News viewers.
“Please don’t try this at home,” said Fox Business anchor Stuart Varney, one of Trump’s favorite hosts. Anchor Chris Wallace — not a Trump favorite — felt the need to clarify on-air: “The answer is no, it’s not safe. A lot of the major manufacturers say it isn’t.” Bret Baier, Fox News’s chief political anchor, also had a skeptical take. “No one at home thinks, ‘Oh, you know what? I’m going to go drink bleach,’” Baier said, adding, after a pause, “I don’t think.”Still, Trump’s defenders in Fox News prime time, the channel’s most closely watched portion of day, sidestepped the matter entirely Thursday.
Here is what Trump said at Thursday’s briefing: “I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets inside the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany issued a statement Friday accusing the news media of taking Trump’s words “out of context.” That was before Trump claimed that he had spoken “sarcastically,” to get a rise out of journalists.“I think it’s important on the president to say and come out unequivocally: ‘Some of you took me seriously, even though I sounded serious saying it. Please do not.
