Fox News analyst judge Andrew Napolitano said the situation in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico appears "bleak" – and the "impression" left of President Donald Trump's response is "too little, too late."
In remarks on Fox News' "Special Report," Napolitano said he was "fixated with Geraldo Rivera who is painting a bleak picture" on the scene of the devastation.
The remarks were posted on Mediaite.
In one clip played earlier in the show, Rivera interviewed one woman who said, "It's completely going crazy. . . . We need help. We needed a lot of help and we are not honestly – there hasn't been any help coming for us yet."
"I've been watching this all day and even on some of the other networks," Napolitano said. "I think the general who was in charge of the rescue efforts in Katrina was unduly harsh and personal with respect to the president.
"There is the perception, and it's based upon on the ground reporting by Geraldo and others that the president is more interested in other things, certainly was more interested in Irma and Harvey then he has been in the catastrophe that's become Puerto Rico," he continued.
"Can he recover from this? Yes, he can," Napolitano said. "He's had a very bad week because of domestic political events, but sticking to the Puerto Rican story, the impression is too little, too late."
