LOL! Mehdi Hasan grills former GOP rep Jack Kingston and it's comedy gold...
Al Jazeera host Mehdi Hasan and former Republican congressman Jack Kingston exploded into a bizarre debate during an interview this week over President Donald Trumps comments about injecting disinfectant to combat the coronavirus.
Back in April, he asked whether his scientists could look into injecting disinfectant into the human body to kill the coronavirus. One of the maddest things Ive ever heard any politician say in my lifetime, declared Hasan. Even you, Jack, at that point must have said, This guy shouldnt be in charge of a bake sale, let alone a pandemic response.'
Actually, if you listen to that interview, he was talking about is there a way to internally digest a medicine that could cure, responded Kingston, a former adviser to the Trump campaign. Now frankly, you know, its thinking outside the box in a laboratory that comes up with great inventions, but you know, I can understand your discomfort with him saying that at a press conference.
Hasan shot back, You can understand it? I mean, he made himself a laughing stock. His own aides distances themselves from him. He said, Is there a way we can do something like that disinfectant by injection inside? He wanted to inject disinfectant into human beings. Thats the dumbest thing Ive ever heard any world leader say in my entire life.
