Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto took a shot at former President Trump for spreading falsehoods about hurricane relief money for people in North Carolina, Florida and other states impacted by extreme weather in recent weeks.
“We’ve also got a lot of misinformation, don’t we? We get people who say in North Carolina that if you’re a Republican, you’re not going to get help, if you’re a Democrat, you’ll get help,” Cavuto said Thursday during a conversation with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
“I would imagine that does a huge disservice to people working together and scares the bejesus out of others when they believe it,” he added.
Buttigieg responded, “Absolutely.”
“I mean, one of the things I’m worried about, the false claim that was going on, for example, that had people believing that if you got $750 in immediate help that, you were never going to get anything else,” he said in the interview, first highlighted by Mediaite.
