Senate hopeful Corky Messner said last week that Donald Trump's suggestions about injecting disinfectants to cure COVID-19 were merely "aspirational" talk.
Messner, a New Hampshire Republican seeking his party's nomination to challenge Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in November, made the comment on a local radio station.
After praising Trump for "doing a great job during this crisis," he said: "I think that, you know, as we know, President Trump sometimes talks in aspirational ways that, you know, that to give hope, perhaps, and thats who he is. And its, and I think that all of us can as consumers of that information, and we can get educated and understand what exactly hes talking about."
Trump told reporters last Thursday: "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."
The makers of Lysol and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission quickly warned the public not to inject the deadly chemicals. The latter tweeted on April 24: "Cleaning products are poisonous, America! Make sure you keep those cleaning products in their original bottles and locked up out of sight and out of reach of kids!"
After the White House initially downplayed Trump's comments on disinfectants, Trump on Friday claimed they had been "sarcastic."
