Schumer on Trump briefing: We have a 'quack medicine salesman' on TV
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) knocked President Trump on Friday for questioning if injecting disinfectant could help cure the coronavirus, urging the administration to focus on ramping up testing.
"We seemed to have a quack medicine salesman on television. He's talking about things like disinfectant in the lungs," Schumer said during an interview with NPR.
"We need real focus in the White House on what needs to be done. Instead of talking about disinfectant the president should be talking about how he's going to implement testing. Which every expert says is the quickest path to get us moving again," he added.
After a presentation from a Department of Homeland Security official about the effects of disinfectants and sunlight on the virus, Trump questioned if the same techniques could be used as treatments inside the body.
