Psaki Regurgitates Claim That Trump Urged Americans to ‘Inject Versions of Poison Into Their Veins to Cure COVID-19’

Liberals today were celebrating what they refer to as a “#PsakiBomb” after White House press secretary Jen Psaki regurgitated a claim that former President Donald Trump urged Americans to “inject versions of poison into their veins to cure COVID-19.”

The Daily Wire reported last April that, left-wing “activists falsely claimed that Trump ‘urged Americans to inject themselves with disinfectant’ and ‘told people to drink bleach.'”

Psaki tangled once again with Fox News’ Peter Doocy in the exchange as he attempt to point out that it was President Joe Biden, when running for election, who promoted vaccine hesitancy.

The Daily Mail reported on the exchange:

Press Secretary Jen Psaki brushed off accusations that Joe Biden ever promoted vaccine hesitancy while she hurled a jab at Donald Trump in a testy exchange with a Fox News reporter at a White House briefing Wednesday.

Fox’s Peter Doocy asked Psaki whether Biden ‘may have created some vaccine hesitancy’ with comments undermining his predecessor’s competency while his administration was racing to fight the COVID pandemic. 

‘At the time, when Donald Trump is out there saying ”We’re going to have a vaccine in the next couple of weeks, next couple of months,” and Joe Biden is on the campaign trail saying ”Don’t trust Donald Trump” – did that create any kind of vaccine hesitancy?’ he questioned.

Psaki replied, ‘Not that we’ve seen in the data.’

‘I would note that at the time, just for context, the former president was also suggesting people inject versions of poison into their veins to cure COVID, so I think that’s a relevant point.’
