Pelosi says 'morbidly obese' Trump taking hydroxychloroquine 'not a good idea'

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday that it's "not a good idea" for President Trump to be taking hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment for coronavirus.

"I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group, morbidly obese, they say," Pelosi said during an appearance on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."

"So, I think that it's not a good idea," she said.

Trump said earlier in the day that he has been taking hydroxychloroquine, which is used to treat malaria, for the past week and a half after one of his personal valets tested positive for the coronavirus.

Trump has repeatedly touted the drug as a potential coronavirus cure or preventative measure over the past two months, despite the lack of evidence that it's effective against the disease.

"Here’s my evidence: I get a lot of positive calls about it," Trump said on Monday. "So far, I seem to be OK."

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) also called Trump's decision to take hydroxychloroquine "reckless."

"I know him saying he is taking it, whether he is or not, is reckless, reckless, reckless. It gives people false hope, has people avoid real medical attention, and can actually cause them trouble. It is just dangerous what he did," Schumer said on MSNBC.

The Food and Drug Administration warned last month that the drug should not be taken outside of a hospital or clinical trial due to the risk of heart rhythm problems.

An analysis of patients at Veterans Affairs hospitals across the country found that the death rates of people treated with hydroxychloroquine were higher than those who did not receive the treatment.

The White House later Monday released a memo from the president's physician

If a Democrat says the president shouldn’t be doing something dangerous by taking the hydroxychloroquine, then chances are he’s doing exactly the right thing.

Oh come now! There’s nothing she would like better than for President Trump to drop dead from some bad medication.

OMG I can’t wait. On Fox News at night with Shannon, former doctor to President Trump stated that Nancy Pelosi should stick to her job of running the country into the ground. OUCH! LOL

As if Nurse Ratched PeLOUSY knows ANYTHING about this drug, or actual science.

H3ll, she can’t even get her botox and face lifts to work right. She’s forced to lube her face, just for public appearances.

I thought Fat shaming was a no no for lefties. Only if it suits them it seems. Micro-agression and thin privilege check. /s

Can’t be bothered to watch the footage or any news. Which means I’ve never even heard this hydroxy-thing ever pronounced...is there any medical or pharmaceutical person on FR who can weigh in?
