No, he's just a bigoted partisan operative. He may be the president of his College Democrats, as he seems to sow talking points before the MSM had time to bombard us with them.
That being said, the political rush to do something, we're getting much quackery in devices and research. A UV lamp in the lungs? How will lung cells be spared when trying to combat the virus?
Sometimes a politician has to put up a smile and an acknowledgement to hucksters that score an audience. Let's hope regained sanity will keep their number down.
