MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” namesake Joe Scarborough implied Thursday that President Trump is somehow profiting off hydroxychloroquine, which the president has hailed as a possible treatment for COVID-19.
“You have the president running around doing fundraisers without a mask in a crowd of people. You have him retweeting woman talking about demons and other bizarre things, mocking masks, talking about hydroxychloroquine which [former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner] Scott Gottlieb and just about every other medical professional says, ‘It does not work on this disease,’” Scarborough said.
TWITTER DELETES VIDEO PROMOTED BY TRUMP PN HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE USE FOR COVID-19 .
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe†namesake Joe Scarborough implied that President Trump is somehow profiting off hydroxychloroquine.
“Follow the money, for someone to continue to bring up hydroxychloroquine, you have to ask, ‘What’s the money connection?’ Because it makes no sense to continue to push the drug as the president continues to do that doesn’t work, that every medical professional says doesn’t work,” Scarborough said.
Earlier this week, Twitter removed a video that was promoted on Trump’s account showing what appeared to be doctors in Washington praising the benefits of using hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 patients.
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin has also suggested that Trump may have a financial interest in promoting the drug.
