Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera grilled San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz on Sunday after President Donald Trump attacked her on Twitter for complaining about his government’s response to Hurricane Maria.
Trump lashed out at Cruz in a series of tweets over the weekend after she pleaded in an interview for him to “save us from dying.”
“Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan,” he tweeted angrily.
On the ground I see the suffering-but feel deeply that attacking @realDonaldTrump for the ravages of nature &neglect is politicizing tragedy— Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) September 30, 2017
On Sunday, Rivera seemed to take Trump’s side during an interview with the mayor, according to TopBuzz.
“There are all people at all municipalities literally starving, dehydrating,” the mayor told Rivera. “We have had our hospital try to go back to speed but then the electricity goes off and we have to do all the bacteria testing, which takes three to four days.”
“But are people dying?” Rivera interrupted. “I’ve been traveling around, I don’t see people dying. I spoke to the doctors, they say they saw 53 patients and they had a person who was septic, but nobody dying.”
