Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who was forced to admit in an interview that hydroxychloroquine saved her husband’s life, took a swipe at President Trump a few weeks earlier for promoting its use.
Speaking with SiriusXM’s Michael Smerconish, Sen Klobuchar said, “Sometimes, you might have other conditions that make it so you can’t take certain drugs. Sometimes your own condition with the virus wouldn’t demand. I think people have to look at what works. I believe in science, something this president has been not listening to.”
Klobuchar even tweeted a condescending message to President about the treatment option: “They say that hydroxychloroquine can lead to hallucinations.”
She conveniently didn’t tell the people reading her tweet that the drug saved her husbands life.
Trump recently revealed he was taking the anti-malarial medication as a prophylactic measure against the COVID-19 virus. Since then, what many see as a first line of defense has become a political hot potato.
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo contracted COVID-19 yet was critical of Trump’s use of hydroxychloroquine. But Cuomo’s wife said her husband was treated with a similar (yet deadlier) version of hydroxychloroquine.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany pointed out, “It turns out that Chris Cuomo took a less safe version of [hydroxychloroquine] called quinine, which the FDA removed from the market in 2006 because it had serious side effects.”
Interesting? Did Cuomo tell his doctor to give him the unsafe version just so he wouldn’t have to admit the drug President Trump mentioned helped him recover?
Watch the video and hear how Klobuchar grudgingly admitted to Whoopi Goldberg that Hydroxychloroquine saved her husband’s life.
