President Trump was talking about UV light which acts as a disinfectant. He was looking at the scientist at the side of the stage to ensure he related the facts correctly, and got several nods.
Then CNN cut back to the studio and CIAnderson Cooper, with a smug grin his face, asked the studio guest if this was accurate. The studio guest confirmed that, yes, UV light can be used as a disinfectant to kill certain viruses. CIAnderson Cooper than panicked and started asking about drinking bleach, and the studio guest confirmed that, no, you shouldn't drink bleach. And CNN's brain-dead viewers ran with the lie to start the 'drink bleach' hoax.
Tl;dr CNN's viewers are literally the dumbest people ever to walk the Earth.
