Harebrained Geraldo Rivera Attacks American Hero Pete Hegseth’s for Defense of Trump Tweets: ‘What the Hell?’

64

It is not a surprise that Geraldo Rivera would again use his platform on Fox News to attack American’s who confront jihad supporters and Israel-haters. Rivera is a jihad apologist, and has consistently defended the conduct of Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, the Palestinians, and the murdering Mullahs in Iran on the various Fox News shows.

Rivera referred to President Trump’s “go back” tweets as “unforgivable” and called the conduct of the folks at the Trump rally in North Carolina as un-American. Has Rivera condemned Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib for their vicious anti-Semitic and anti-American statements? Has Rivera condemned AOC for comparing American detention centers to concentration camps? Very likely not.

Fox News is making a mistake by providing Rivera with a platform, since Rivera makes the segments that he participates in unwatchable. Recently President Trump criticized Fox News for adding a number of Leftists to their shows. Rivera represents the kind of garbage reporting that Trump was referencing.

Geraldo Rivera Rips Pete Hegseth’s Defense of ‘Unforgivable’ Trump Tweets: ‘What the Hell?’

The Puerto Rican Fox News correspondent says he has had “10 street fights” because he’s been told to “go back to where you came from”

Lindsey Ellefson, The Wrap, July 19, 2019,

Fox News correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera butted heads with “Fox & Friends” host Pete Hegseth Friday for defending President Trump’s “unforgivable” tweets directed at four Democratic congresswomen of color.

Sunday, Trump tweeted that Democratic representatives Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib — known as “The Squad” — should “go back” to the countries of their ethnic origins. During a rally in North Carolina Wednesday, a fired-up crowd chanted “send her back” for 12 seconds when Trump mentioned Rep. Omar.

“I was appalled. I think that it was un-American. It was an attack that was a nativist, xenophobic, racist attack,” Rivera told Hegseth. “‘Go back to where you came from’ is the old racist trope that all of us ethnic or racial minorities have grown up with at various times. It is unforgivable at this day and age.”

Agreed, they need to drop Geraldo and have Pam on as a regular or give Pam her own show on Fox specifically about Islam and Muslims and have Robert Spencer and other great guests give their perspective also. Of course Fox won’t cause they’re partly owned by Saudi Arabia and they’re turning into Lefty Islam-loving cucks.

Geraldo is only half right. It is unforgivable to say that to someone for no reason, or just out of spite because you don’t like their race. But when it’s based on their behavior, that’s a different story.

Heraldo is a typical liberal. Ilhan Omar never had any love for this nation. He demonstrates he has not a clue about why this woman does what she does. What do you get when combine of Qur’an, Marx, Lenin, Mao, and Mussolini? https://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2019/02/21/family-matters-how-a-us-member-of-congress-was-raised-by-the-red-green-axis/
It’s almost humorous to me that the Democrats want to flood America with Muslims while FDR blocked how many Jews from disembarking from the S.S. St. Louis? Yet we are dumping people whose world view is diametrically opposite of this nation’s? I have no problem telling people if they don’t like this nation to leave. It is not the colour that is important to me it is what they believe. If they do not embrace the foundational principles they should exit. It matters not one bit whether they have brown eyes and dark skin or blue eyes and blond hair. It’s what they think that matters. My people most of whom have been here from the beginning never looked for a handout, nor did the few immigrants. While my people helped end slavery(some never went home from Gettysburg), the party of slavery continued its rampage in the 20th Century. I was honoured to meet a Nisei in 1999. While his family was interned by FDR’s EO he was fighting in Europe in the 442 GO For Broke unit at age 16. Some of my own Spanish ancestry goes back to 1588 when another invasion was tried. I’m a Heinz 57 though!

Writing of slavery I wonder how many people know that Saudi Arabia didn’t ban slavery until 1960, Oman 1970 and I believe the taking of unbeliever slaves has never been banned in Sudan. Meanwhile in Kuwait in 2012 a female politician called for slavery to be re established she believed that the sale of Russian Christian female slaves captured in Chechnya would stop Kuwaiti men from committing sex crimes. All this is true and acceptable to muslims because the ” perfect man ” was himself a slave trader.

But they were talking only about Trump’s use of the phrase, so Geraldo was 100% wrong. Let’s keep things in context. They were not talking about uses of the term by multiple people in multiple situations. Just one situation and one person.

Maybe, in Geraldo’s feeble mind, the scope of the discussion was far more than initially begun. He was taking things out of context.

Yeh if it were just a normal time and his critics were just that–NORMAL critics- I would say it’s wrong for Trump to say what he said. Someone got impatient with my wife in a supermarket and said that to her. It was wrong. But these folks are picking a fight with him, calling him out and cursing him day and night. Don’t they realize that 62million people voted for this guy. He was elected Prez. Their vilification is so unjustified, they got slapped back. I would say at worst that he was not “gentlemanly.” Big whoop. These are commie fifth columnists who want to attack everything about the country and personalize everything this president is and does. Sure he’s crude and belligerent. But when I see these scumbags claiming, falsely, that they occupy some moral high ground, I have to come to his defense even though I often find his “style” over the top. They have to mute some of their criticisms of America. Their criticisms are not worth ONE DAMN!

Why is Geraldo praised as though what he says is true, or honorable. Hes a just another lib nobody who is trying to make himself relevant by staying on the ‘America is bad bandwagon.’ What he and his fellow travelers dont know, is that bandwagon is headed straight for a cliff and gaining speed.

Geraldo is and always was a carnival huckster; specializing in Freak Shows. If there were no Freaks handy, he’s conjure a gaggle of Freaks and sell it to the broadcasters and the gullible viewers. Anyone taking this man’s word seriously or factually is in want of therapy.

Carnival huckster is a great description of Geraldo. I turned off my TV around 9 years ago but had already formed that opinion long ago. It makes me sick to think someone of his low character makes serious money shoveling his manure while hard working alternative media people with good minds barely make ends meet. Anyone who would give Geraldo more than 1 1/2 seconds of their time is in need of help for their depleted soul.

Jewish Geraldo said in a public discussion ( i think it was on Fox) over fellow-jew Pamela Geller:

Geraldo is a putz and I stopped watching him years ago. I just couldn’t listen to the nasty ‘spirit’ emanating from his voice. Listen to him sometime without actually looking or WATCHING him. Just listen. His voice is NOT compassionate AT ALL, but it is cold, and harsh and sounds demanding.

I will tell you who has CLASS, MOXIE and COMPASSION: Pamela Geller, Judge Jeannine, Melania Trump, and Kimberly Guilfoyle.

The worst people with NO CLASS, NO HUMILITY AND NO COMPASSION are Shepherd Smith, Geraldo Rivera, Juan Williams, and a few others, AS WELL AS ALL THE HOSTS ON THE ALPHABET NEWS CHANNELS. THEY ARE EMPTY SHELLS WHOSE MOUTHS MOVE.

Love Greg Gutfeld, Tucker Carlson, Jeannine, and very few others, but NOW I WATCH OANN and am very happy. Never miss watching Greg Gutfeld, via Youtube, on the Sunday after his show airs.

I’m feeling the same way about FNC! Geraldo has always been a weak libtoid – it’s in his DNA; and although sometimes he tries to cover it, many times he simply cannot. And much of the discussion on that cable news outlets has become unwatchable as it sinks more & more into the swamp of Dem-Lib insanity. I guess all good things must come to an end at some point in time! It (Fox) was good, though, while it lasted… SAD!!

Geraldo Rivera is undoubtedly the worst of FOX, so why they have allowed this idiot to stay is beyond me. Ever since the first days I watched FOX Geraldo was there yelling “FIRE IN THE HOLE” as he was about to blow a hole through a wall only to discover there was nothing of interest (Jimmy Hoffa) on the other side ! Boy what a stupid stunt. He’s been the same ever since.

Sorry, Sweets, Rupie’s buddy Ali bin AllaWheadieDeedieman bought 3 or 4 % of Fox years ago, with a commitment to buying up to 13 – 15 %.

But in some ways you can’t blame them because the black community is so predictably going off like rockets not all of them, but to many of them though, so they just keep them in a state of suspended racism anticipation animation, then they’ll snap their fingers on Election Day waking them up when it’s time to go over to the polls…

Some times Geraldo seems moderate in his comments. Some times he is in far left field. Most of the time he just makes irrelevant remarks that you don’t know how to take, more like just making noise. If you took all the positives and the negatives about him, the negatives would have it. He makes no effort to do any real reporting anymore. I always wonder why Fox keeps showing him in their programs. He should be behind the camera rather than in front of it. I never will forget the time he was covering the active troops during the Gulf War, and he gave away the positions of the troops going into battle. He was immediately banned from the area, and was sent back to the U.S. He is definitely not a very deep thinker!
