EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Deborah Birx says she informed former Vice Pres. Pence, 'I am saying exactly the opposite of what the president is saying' about the pandemic because of the data. 'You need to do what you need to do,' he replied, according to Birx.

"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous -- whether it's ultraviolet or just a very powerful light -- and I think you said that hasn't been checked because of the testing," Trump said."And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too.

But when Birx said she saw Trump and the government scientist informally continue their conversation before cameras – and the president make the leap to publicly question whether humans could be treated with disinfectant – she shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "And by the next morning, the president was saying that was a joke," Birx said."But I think he knew by that evening, clearly, that this was dangerous."

She said the doctors included Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and Stephen Hahn, the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.

I wouldn't have. I would've stood up and said 'Are you out of your mind?!' And walked out and resigned!

How disgusting it was to watch her sitting there and being a doctor and not say a thing. And let Trump make a fool of himself.

Paralyzed by the idiocy of Chump.

Who is Polly Ann?

That was not his suggestion. You’d love to read that and construct a dialogue around it, and talk about anything but what a crap job this president is doing to our country. People talk and make comments that are asides, meant to be humorous or relive tension. Literally no said

Oh ABC, You call this an exclusive like oh my God you have something special. She lost all credibility during that term of his presidency, she was complicit and lost all credibility. I will not read your article nor do I care about her book

I'm starting to get a little fed up with these people holding off sharing awful things until they get their book written. A book I will never buy.

The virus is a SHAM. No worse than the flu.

About two years late clown.

kvconner Yea, we saw you. You had an important, influential position. A little courage to speak up would have been good.

Dr. Birx just proved she has listening comprehension issues. 'Something like that' does not mean literally injecting bleach.

I bet she hates having used that word in the interview. Yu’all just besting it to death.

I was a joke,

Who

Donald John Trump momentarily paralyzed the world with his disinfectant comments and clearly showed how mentally unfit he was to be serving as the POTUS. It was ‘no joke’ as he and White House officials later suggested. If anyone says it was a joke, then only ‘cra-cra’ laughed.

…and yet, she stuck by that clown. Not buying it, “Doc.”

As the actual president at this moment is taking orders from the Easter bunny. And his son is in bed with the Chinese, is doing this stupid shit!

I believe the only thing Dr.Birx became was complicit..period. She put her position with the covid team and public notoriety first. There were plenty opportunities for her to go before media and correct the misleadings coming from the WH

We need green corridor from Mariupol, not to Russia. BorisJohnson Bundeskanzler BWallaceMP EmmanuelMacron OlafScholz antonioguterres

Hahahaha. one of the most exhilarating news of the day

That is no fukking excuse. Birx should have put the energy she put into choosing a scarf into firmly telling TFG he was harming Americans with recommendations of bleach and light. Dr. Birx realDrBirx became an accessory or an enabler of that harm. Where was her spine? Lame.

She trying to sell her book to liberal leftists that’s all 🤷🏼‍♂️ they will believe any stories than invoke Trump as the bad guy.

Did not take ABC news long to start spreading fear again.

Lame. What a stupid story, more mainstream news propaganda

The jig is up, ABCNEWS. Anyone w half of a brain knows that isn’t what he said, and why you’ve put it in this context, today of all days. “Raised the possibility” Nice try taking advantage of your typical low information readers.

Darwin award goes to bleach injectors

Fake News.

So she’s an idiot?

We all know he did. You can't fix stupid . She should go away. All these republicans writing books. Speak up. Money money money. The do nothing GQP

Why say it only now? Who's behind this? What's your objective?

Why is she interviewed

Here are some examples of disinfectants. Can you spot the ones that we put in our body everyday?

Exclusive: This was never said. Now ABC, why does Disney want to teach children sodomy?

You're so stupid. Letting stupid people churn out comments like these.

Impeccable timing...

She should get lost, we do not need to hear her lies.

This broad has ZERO credibility. She had her chance to speak up at the time.......and chose to just cower in the corner !!

Stop trying to redeem these monsters.

She didn’t do it. She stood up there and let that horrible man lie to the American people day after day.

Dr Birx was often in a catatonic stupor & state of mind in the Trump WH. He made so many outrageous claims about Covid-19’s cures, that Dr. Birx became paralyzed by fear + inaction. As a result, ppl were confused & put off by the disinformation. The CDC became a laughing stock!
