Gov. Larry Hogan said he had to put out a warning after a surge in calls asking about the president's off-the-cuff medical advice at a White House briefing.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Sunday that his state received “hundreds” of calls after President Trump suggested at a press briefing that ingesting household disinfectants could be a treatment for the coronavirus.
The Republican governor continued: “We had hundreds of calls come in to our emergency hotline at our health department asking if it was — if it was right to ingest Clorox or, you know, alcohol cleaning products, whether that was going to help them fight the virus. So, we had to put out that warning to make sure that people were not doing something like that which would kill people.” Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked Hogan how he would explain Trump’s comments.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, similarly said her state had also received calls to poison control after the briefing.
