Amy Klobuchar Mocks Donald Trump for Hydroxychloroquine Use After Her Husband Was Treated With Antimalarial Drug For Covid-19
Newsweek ^ | 05/29/2020 | BY ELIZABETH CRISP

Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is among the many critics of President Donald Trump who have openly mocked his decision to take controversial anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a preventive measure against COVID-19. But what Klobuchar hasn't widely discussed is that her husband also took the drug when he had the disease.

"They say that hydroxychloroquine can lead to hallucinations," Klobuchar posted on Twitter May 20, in response to a seemingly random tweet from the president about the Democratic primary several weeks after it had already ended with former Vice President Joe Biden as the presumptive nominee.

But Klobuchar's husband, John Bessler, is among patients who were prescribed hydroxychloroquine to treat severe symptoms after contracting COVID-19, she said in an April 7 interview with SiriusXM's Michael Smerconish that's received relatively little mainstream attention.

"I listened to the science there," she said. "I think that we have to listen to the science and you have to listen to your doctors with what is going to work in each individual situation."

She said about hydroxychloroquine specifically: "Sometimes you might have other conditions that make it so you can't take certain drugs. Sometimes your own condition with the virus wouldn't demand. I think people have to look at what works."

Fascinating that this appears in Newsweak.

I think the Democrat Radical Left has a full-on press to make sure she is not Biden’s VP nominee.

If it’s true that she declined to prosecute the George Floyd cop for past abuses they really don’t need to bother.

Amy can kiss the No. 2 slot goodbye. Is it time to roll out the delusional Georgian again?

Yep, and she was my #1 guess for his VP

That's because its going to be Hillary, whether Joe likes it or not. Book it. You heard it here.

Biden has started backtracking from his promise to pick a woman, which is REALLY going to start the fun.

seems like a mis-read on Amy Klobuchar's tweet. Looks to me like she's mocking Pres. Trump's use of HCQ based on the characterizations in his tweet .

They need the Bernie voters so are leaning towards Warren, although she has backtracked on Medicare for all already.

The angry black woman is now a shoo-in to try to get the black bloc vote up to 150%

You hallucinations are not related to hydroxychloroquine. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid.

I’m surprised she hasn’t dragged her ass up to the Twin Cities yet.

Jackson and Sharpton were here yesterday.

Jamie Foxx is coming today.

How dare this president protect his health and encourage others to do the same? We want power, and if people get healthy, you’ve destroyed our excuse.

Amy needs to shut up today. As we find she let violent cops stay on the force for years, including the one arrested for murder just now. Bye Amy.

You’re still here, Amy?

Go back under your bridge.
