Neil Cavuto, the anchor of Fox News, reportedly fired a shot at former President Trump for disseminating deceptive information regarding hurricane relief funds for residents of North Carolina, Florida, and other states that have been affected 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 while talking to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg during a recent Fox News segment.
“I would imagine that does a huge disservice to people working together and scares the bejesus out of others when they believe it,” he continued.
“Absolutely.” Buttigieg responded.
“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 added.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and Milton, Trump has faced significant backlash for his assertion that federal officials are intentionally neglecting individuals in Republican regions.
