Chris Hayes says hospital having trouble getting drug for possible coronavirus treatment because Trump ‘triggered hoarding’

Apparently it wasn’t so “unsubstantiated” after all, because after Trump made the announcement, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that his state would be conducting trials of a combination of drugs, including one Trump mentioned.

So now the Left’s spin has done a one-eighty, with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes accusing the president of causing people to hoard one of the drugs:

The president touting hydroxychloroquine has, predictably, triggered hoarding of the drug to the point that even one hospital I know attempting to administer it as part of a trial is having a hard time getting its hands on the drug.

After that tweet, people had questions:

So Drs are hoarding? You can only get these meds with a prescription. https://t.co/EoLAq7ZR1r

Also, how is Trump supposed to prevent hoarding of something available in other countries?

We’re not quite sure.

You do know it has to be prescribed, right? Who is hoarding it, jackass?

How are people able to hoard without a prescription? Are dr's in on the hoarding?

How are people hoarding it when it is prescription?

Is prescription, who is prescribing it? Rogue doctors?

How does one hoard a drug you can only get with a prescription?

Hayes must not think a certain governor could be responsible in any way:

Does Gov. Cuomo touting it have the same impact?

Because “orange man bad,” of course!
