Cavuto, in an interview with Buttigieg, claimed that Vice President

for his ex-boss.

“That’s no way to break bread and make peace,” Cavuto added.

“She said that she did not disagree with his chief of staff who said that, somebody who knows him well. And again —,” said Buttigieg of Kelly, a retired U.S. Marine Corps general.

“Do you think — do you think that, mayor, that Donald Trump is a fascist. Do you think he’s that?” the

host asked.

“I don’t think that General Kelly is wrong, he knows Donald Trump much better than I do and I would not contradict General Kelly in his assessment of his former boss,” Buttigieg replied.

Moments earlier, Cavuto noted efforts by Buttigieg — a Harris campaign surrogate — to reach out to Republicans in areas “not generally seen as a blue wall bastion” such as Midland, Texas.

He further pointed to Buttigieg’s

Cavuto claimed that Harris hasn’t made similar efforts to communicate with conservatives and asked if the vice president will “regret” such a strategy.

“And by the same token, we’ve never seen a Democrat have that many Republicans who do support her,” he said.

“But I think the most important thing is the difference in the closing message between him talking about turning guns on people who disagree with them and her saying that if you’re a ***********, you will have a seat at the table in my administration.”

CAVUTO: She called him a fascist

BUTTIGIEG: She said that she did not disagree with his chief of staff who said that

CAVUTO: Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?

BUTTIGIEG: I don’t think General Kelly is wrong.
