Well no, he technically didn't advocate injecting bleach either but I gather he did seriously suggest a task force should investigate it as a possible covid treatment. HCl is used as a bleaching agent even if it's not commonly an ingredient in commercial bleaches - I conflated the two in my head.
He initially referred to UV light as a disinfection agent, and then to the "bleach". He was rambling about use inside the body and did mention "injection", but he wasn't specifically advocating something, and when asked to clarify a few moments later he explicitly said he didn't think it should be injected.
Was it loose talk and pretty dumb? Absolutely. Did the media exaggerate and lie about it for years as a political talking point? Of course! Such is life in modern America.
