Buttigieg calls Trump Jr. 'so out of touch

Former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg criticized Donald Trump Jr. for downplaying the coronavirus and dismissing the deaths of hundreds of Americans each day.

"This is what happens when you're so out of touch that you just don't care anymore," Buttigieg said in response to Trump Jr.'s comment that coronavirus deaths are down to "almost nothing" on CNN's "The Situation Room" on Friday. "I mean, tell that to the thousand families who are going to be grieving a loss today. Tell that to any of the Americans who are confronting what is literally the worst mass casualty event in this country since World War II."

On Thursday, Donald Trump Jr. falsely minimized the deaths related to coronavirus.

"Why are they talking — why aren't they talking about deaths? Oh, Oh! Because the numbers are almost nothing because we've gotten control of things and we understand how it works," Trump Jr. said last week on Fox News.
