Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is interviewed on"This Week."After emergency hotlines saw an increase in questions about consuming disinfectants to treat the novel-- based on the president's comments Thursday -- a bipartisan pair of governors each said Sunday that public officials have a responsibility to relay accurate medical information.
“This has been important to me from day one, communicating, very clearly on the facts, because people listen to these press conferences. They listen when the governor holds a press conference and they certainly pay attention when the president of the United States is standing there giving a press conference,” Gov. Larry Hogan said on “This Week,” appearing after Whitmer.
Both governors -- Whitmer, a Democrat, and Hogan, a Republican -- said that their state health services had seen an uptick in inquiries on whether ingesting disinfectant materials could treat coronavirus. “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,” said Hogan.
Clueless fools
Support the states tax payers yes. NO PENSION BAILOUTS!!!!!!
Tyrannical overreach
Will the money be used to help pay the state’s pensions?
DITCHMITCH CORRUPTIONINGOVERNMENT
This is what a Republican sounds like when you strip away the racism and the Christo-fascism. I probably disagree w/ Gov. Hogan on all sorts of economic/ law & order issues but you can debate those. What you can't do is convince a racist or religious fanatic that they're wrong.
integrityshines The Governor needs to realize that this is grifting in real time and out in the open. McConnell regrets nothing.
McConnell... regret? Has Gov. Hogan not paid attention to Mitch’s entire career? We’re talking about a guy that takes joy in killing bills that help the most vulnerable of citizens....
That fat bastard Hogan better be socially distancing. Serious pre-existing condition.
Does anyone in the media ever think to ask these lousy democrat governors why their states were on the verge of bankruptcy before the China virus came along?
Larry Hogan is not someone that Americans can trust.
Most hospitals are half empty not overwhelmed. We closed to protect the hospitals and now they are laying people off because there empty . Open now
We should not have to pay off the debts failed governors and mayors racked up before the virus hit. Elections have consequences.
Nice Senate you got here. I'd hate to see anything.. .happen to it.
Why should I bailout poorly run states like NY?
I love him. We need more of this fighting spirit.
Why aren't you providing information about the treatment realDonaldTrump referred to at the TrumpIsNotADoctor press conference where he was advised by his team of Doctors that this technology exists. Why is FakeNews covering up the truth?
Jon Chait warned that when politics steers science, you can wind up with the grotesque example of the USSR Lysenko under the dictatorship of Stalin. Real scientists were silenced as the regime empowered Lysenko to dispute the proven laws of genetics. Sound familiar
Accurate info like this?
I'm proud of my GovLarryHogan for putting his state above his party. The Governors of this country (largely) have assumed much leaded leadership in the vacuum of Federal and Presidential leadership. Kudos!
So what's stopping them? Yes, we expect that from elected leaders so that we, the people, can make wise choices on how we conduct our lives. We do not want government telling us how to conduct our lives.
Michigan’s governor is trying to funnel taxpayer money to her Dem friends
Trump is a public servant. As such he is required to serve public with honesty and dignity. He's failed miserably. Time to give this servant the boot. November can't get here soon enough.
abc if you want to report something useful... see that by the beginning of May everyone is going to start their lives again ...you will see more protests
Then why aren't they talking about the TRUE numbers and percentages now that we know more about the virus and have 'representative numbers' of population centers. Why no talk about the antibody tests that show (extrapolating) that MILLIONS of people had the virus at some point ?
EndTheShutdownNow EndTheShutdownNow EndTheShutdownNow EndTheShutdownNow EndTheShutdownNow
No problemo, shoot Lysol.
Evil scum
