Fox News host Neil Cavuto blasted former President Donald Trump for spreading misinformation about hurricane recovery efforts.
During a Thursday interview with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Cavuto noted that misinformation about federal hurricane recovery efforts was a "huge disservice."
"But we also get a lot of misinformation, don't we?" Cavuto said. "We get people who say in North Carolina that if you're a Republican, you're not going to get help... I would imagine that does a huge disservice to people working together and scares the bejesus out of others when they believe it."
Buttigieg agreed.
"I mean, one of the things I 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, what if somebody hears that, they believe it, and then they don't apply for more aid that they could absolutely qualify for," he explained. "So there are real costs and real consequences to that misinformation."
Cavuto pointed to Trump as one source of the false claims.

"Well, Donald Trump said that about North Carolina, Republicans not getting help, Democrats getting help," the Fox News host said. "That was Donald Trump."
"But that kind of misinformation gets out there, and whether it's perpetrated by a politician or someone you think is someone of note and authority, it is wrong, and it is bull, and it cannot be tolerated," he added.
