Fox News is spinning Rep. Eric Cantor's statement that disaster relief should be paired with spending cuts -- comments consistent with statements Cantor has made in the past -- as a simple "word of caution" against future government stimulus.
Laena Fallon, a spokeswoman for Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), reiterated Cantor's position on disaster relief in an email to Talking Points Memo, saying that Cantor "has consistently said that additional funds for federal disaster relief ought to be offset with spending cuts."
Fox's Andrea Tantaros: I do think Cantor's being anticipatory in the fact that Democrats will likely use this as an excuse for more stimulus. And they will use it as an excuse for more stimulus funding. You already heard Biden on the plane back from China talking about it. So, he's trying to get out there early in front and say look, we'll do what we can, of course, to take care of the destruction and the damage. But we're not going to use this as an excuse to blow more money on another failed stimulus. We're just not.
Fox's Kimberly Guilfoyle: And that's all he's saying. It's a word of caution, I guess.
