Trump cites Geraldo Rivera on Puerto Rico: 'When did people start dying?'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump on Friday tweeted a quote of Fox News's Geraldo Rivera ripping media coverage this week of the president's false claim that Democrats inflated the death count from last year's hurricanes in Puerto Rico in order to "to make [him] look as bad as possible."

“’They say all these people died in the storm in Puerto Rico, yet 70% of the power was out before the storm," he tweeted, tagging Rivera's Twitter account.

"So when did people start dying? At what point do you recognize that what they are doing is a political agenda couched in the nice language of journalism?’ @GeraldoRivera” he added.
