In a wild segment of Fox News Channel’s “The Five” that took place earlier in August of this year, co-hosts Judge Jeanine Pirro and Greg Gutfeld took down fellow co-host Jessica Tarlov, the show’s strident liberal, after she pushed a fake story about former President Donald Trump, the “bleach” hoax from 2020.
As background, Trump, in 2020, said, spoke about using bleach to fight the spread of Covid in comments that some on the left misrepresented to say that he said bleach should be injected, which he did not. During the incident, Trump began by saying, “And then I see the disinfectant, where it 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 in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.”
He clarified that he did not mean bleach should be injected but rather for the sterilization of primarily stationary objects, saying, “It wouldn’t be through injection. We’re talking about through almost a cleaning, sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work. But it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object.”
