Why Pete Buttigieg's Fox News appearances keep going viral

CNN

At least that's how one TikTok user described his recent interview on Fox News, during which he was asked about President Donald Trump's refusal to participate in a virtual debate. The event has since been canceled, but it was originally moved to a virtual format after Trump tested positive for Covid-19.

"I don't know why you would want to be in a room with other people if you were contagious with a deadly disease and you care about other people," Buttigieg said to "Fox & Friends" host Steve Doocy last Thursday. "But maybe the President doesn't care about other people."

Even as Buttigieg called out a "weakness of [Trump's] campaign," Doocy — a reliable Trump ally on the President's favorite morning show — nodded along in agreement as the former South Bend mayor spoke.

Fox News declined to comment for this story.
