Joe Biden is repeating the lie that during the pandemic then-President Donald Trump told Americans to inject themselves with bleach.
This is not only a lie, but it takes what Trump said completely out of context.
Even PolitiFact, no friend of the Trump administration, said it was a lie.

Biden lies: Trump didn’t tell Americans to drink bleach
One of the biggest purveyors of misinformation is President Joe Biden.
PolitiFact reported four years ago: “Joe Biden criticized President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying during a speech on the economy that Trump had given up on trying to manage a crisis he is ill-equipped to solve.”
“And when it comes to COVID-19, after months of doing nothing but predicting that the virus would go away, or maybe that if you drank bleach you might be fine, Trump has simply given up,” Biden said.
The story continued:
Trump spoke about the role he thought disinfectants could play in addressing an infection caused by the virus during a now-infamous April 23 briefing. But he didn’t say people should drink bleach.
His comments came after William Bryan, undersecretary for science and technology at the Department of Homeland Security, presented a study that found sun exposure and cleaning agents like bleach can kill the virus when it lingers on surfaces.
Trump emphasized the effectiveness of these methods and questioned whether they could help deal with infections in the human body.

What Trump Really Said
Here’s what President Trump actually said on this topic full It’s inside context:
“A question that some of you are probably thinking about if you are totally immersed in that world, which I find very interesting. So, we supposedly hit the body with tremendous light, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it.
“And then I said let’s assume you bring the light into the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said you’ll get tested on that too. Sounds interesting, right?” He added.
That’s not even close to what Biden accuses him of saying.
Expect Joe Biden to continue lying into November. At this point, his best chance is probably to keep the White House.
