Woman Who Blamed Trump for Her Husband’s Chloroquine Death Is Dem Donor Who Was Once Charged With Domestic Abuse in Divorce Argument

The woman who fed her husband a chemical used for cleaning fish tanks and blamed President Donald Trump for his death has a history of being anti-Trump, donating to Democratic politicians, and of sometimes violent conflict with her husband, from whom she at one point sought a divorce. . .

Shortly after the president began touting the potential of chloroquine, a story emerged of a woman and her husband who had ingested chloroquine — not the medical version, but the version that is used to clean fish tanks — and the husband died. National media pounced on the story, giving the woman a platform to blame the president’s advice for her husband’s death.

“Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure,” the woman told NBC News. “Oh my God. Don’t take anything. Don’t believe anything. Don’t believe anything that the president says and his people. Call your doctor.”

Even beyond the obvious problem with this story — that the woman and her husband were taking fish tank cleaner and not medicine — some details from the woman’s past cast more doubt on her motive and her account of what really happened to her husband.

In 2001, the woman was arrested and accused of domestic abuse against her husband for an altercation during which she allegedly tried to hit him with a bird house while they were arguing about marriage counseling and potential divorce. She was reportedly found not guilty, but both parties admitted to police that the conflict occurred.
