Jack Nicklaus says he took hydroxychloroquine, doubts COVID-19 death count after endorsing Trump

Jack Nicklaus announced his endorsement of Donald Trump on Wednesday after years of supporting the president, and now he’s going more in-depth on why he wants to see four more years.

When approached by The Palm Beach Post’s Tom D’Angelo, Nicklaus revealed that he had posted the six-paragraph statement at the prodding of Vice President Mike Pence. He said he knew the move would draw significant backlash, though he claimed most of the reaction has been positive:

“I knew when I did that that I would have certain percentage of the people (who) are not Trump fans and a certain percent of the people (who) are,” Nicklaus said.
