stella immanuel who has a minister and promises on her youtube page deliverance from spirit husbands and wives. last night the president retweeted this video to his 84 million followers from a press conference she and a group of doctors did yesterday at the capitol. >> i came here to washington d.c. to tell america nobody needs to get sick. this virus has a cure. it is called hydroxychloroquine, zinc and zythromax. you don't need people to be locked down. there is prevention and doctor is a cure. >> keeping them honest just medically, that simply is not true. the new england journal of medicine that is a reputable medical journal was done on 504 patients and showed no benefit and revealed heart rhythm complications that could be deadly. other studies agree and the fda revoked the emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine. the fda has done that. president trump's fda. and chloroquine for the treatment of covid-19. one study which differs and often cited by the president has come at a criticism for being lower quality but in truth, with tens of thousands of lives on the line n

. >> doctor immanuel here has a large number of baseless claims. has hailed hydroxychloroquina the so-called cure for the coronavirus. "the daily beast" has also identified her as a pediatrician with a history of making-- quote-- bizarre claims about medical topics and other issues, often claiming very questionable things. >> sex is a spiritual transaction, so when you do it by yourself, demons come and join you. when you're doing it in the right way in marriage, god watches over it. >> trevor: okay, both of those situations are not ideal. i mean, obviously, i don't want demons joining me in sex, but i also don't want god watching me have sex. like, what if he's judging me? "cone on, trevor. i know i didn't give you much, but you can work harder than that." but, yes, despite having the world's top doctors at his disposal, trump has decided instead to trust a doctor who believes that people get sick because they masturbate and that vaccines are made from alien d.n.a. and, by the way, whatever you do, please don't start running around saying that afr

the president said he had no regrets about re-tweeting the doctor, stella immanuel saying that doctors use alien dna to make medicine. that is just touching the surface. and instead of citing dr. fauci, instead the president is promoting what this misinformation-spreading doctor has said and so it raises concerns about who is the president listening to as he's making these decision and whose opinion is he elevating. sometimes the opinions in recent days conduct things he said about wearing a mask. so it is notable that he chose to do that as he's leaving for texas today. he's going there. no covid related events on his schedule oven though yesterday texas, i believe, reported 8,000 new cases of coronavirus. and instead he's going to attend a fundraiser, make remarks on energy. but right now there is nothing covid related for him on the agenda. >> none what so ever. but as we reported he'll be touring an oil rig this hour instead. kaitlan, thank you. >>> also another member of congress has tested positive. this time a texas republican who has refused to wear a mask. congressman louie go

her name is stella immanuel. she's a pediatrician in houston and a local minister there. she operates a medical clinic in a strip mall next to her church called fire power ministries, and here is a sampling. >> so god decided to destroy the world and start with the seed of noor. when god destroyed the earth at that time, what happened? what happened to these 30-foot nephalems that were walking the earth, those giants? they got flooded. so they are flesh. they could not really die. they got flooded, and their flesh got pulverized, but what happened to their spirits? this mixed breed, there are still nephalems around today, and they're still doing one thing. they still lust after human beings. >> as for her advice on hydroxychloroquine, the fda has put out strong warnings about the use of the drug in covid clinical trials. trump and his son don junior also shared several media posts attacking the credibility of dr. fauci. today the president was asked about that as well. >> the tweets that were deleted by twitter, you said that dr. fauci misled the country about hydroxychlo

stella immanuel, when she's not preaching about demon sperm and alien dna, she's a group of doctors talking about potentially dangerous covid treatments. >> i came here to washington d.c. to tell america, nobody needs to get sick. this virus has a cure. it is called hydroxychloroquine, zinc and zithromax. we want to talk about a mask. hello, you don't need a mask. there is a cure. you don't need people to be locked down. there is prevention and there is a cure. >> well, the president retweeted that video of her as have many covid deniers and conspiracy theorists and pro clclaiming to know nothing about her and when kaitlan collins pressed him, he ended the press conference and fled the briefing room. the support of this person he knows nolithing about and todaye made no mention of demon sex but like a man possessed, he was still praising her. >> i was very impressed with her and other doctors that stood with her. i think she made sense, but i know nothing about her. i just saw her making a statement with very respected doctors. she was not alone. she was making the statement about hydroxych

stella immanuel much like trump is passionate about hydroxychloroquine, a drug studies have shown not effective in treating coronavirus. she's said some gynecology problems are the result of sex with demons and witches. still, trump has stood by her coronavirus claims. >> i was very impressed with her and other doctors that stood with her. >> reporter: she's not the only doctor whose questionable views are retweeted by the president. a collection of these protrump doctors met with mike pence yesterday, among them was dr. simone gold. >> does it make people feel better? we scientists know the masks make people feel foolish. >> this will pass. he was wrong. dr. fauci said don't ban china. don't ban china. i did. he admitted i was right. >> reporter: trump's desire to find physicians that praise him or tell him he's right is a pattern. during his campaign he went to his long-time doctor that signed off on what trump dictated himself with a glowing recommendation of his health. today the president aforppeared with ronny jackson that went out to tote the president's stamina. >> he might li
