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”
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.”
…a “source” of information (ask the Times what they paid for the Boston Globe, & what they sold it for (lost 1.5 Billion Dollars), or their old headquarters building disaster, or their unfunded liability? @FoxNews is changing fast, but they forgot the people who got them there!

Pamela I saw you once with Rivera on Hannity. You needed more time. Try again. Your a warrior
She sure is. Pamela makes Joan of Arc look like a wimp. (Sorry Joan, just kidding.)
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.
Let’s hope she reads this
I saw that same segment and she was great! I agree they need to have her on more I don’t know why they don’t, her and Bridget Gabrielle are great communicators who think lightning fast.
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.
Spot on.
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!
Excellent post, Rusty; a visceral read, thanks.
Wrong, he is ATYPICAL. He claims to be a Republican, believe it or not. He’s also a lawyer who has never tried a case and is almost a falling down drunk. It’s appalling that Fox News Channel pays that moron to be on ANY panel!!
He and Hahn are examples of why I wonder if Fox boys are moving more to the left.
Recently Laura let a “Democrat strategist” have the last word when Dinesh D’Souza was on.
To QUOTE Bill Clinton “A few years ago he would have been brining them coffee.”
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.
Amen.!!!
CONTENT OF CHARACTER is what my Dad always taught us. Race doesn’t matter.
Geraldo is a scumbag. He got started by having one of the freak shows on TV.
Does anyone remember the cartoon about two dopes, Mutt and Jeff? Well Heraldo is one of those clowns. By now it should be evident that there is not much in the intelligence area going on in Heraldo’s head. More and more he proves himself just very stupid.
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.
Had 10 street fights? I call BS. That pathetic wimp wouldn’t survive one let alone ten.
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!
Yet it had to be someone like Donald Trump to come to the fore and give America a second chance to save it’s self. I will take his human foibles over another Bush like Jeb, or GW or a snake democrat any day. I believe that Trump really loves this nation and want it to survive.
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.
Fantastic cartoon. Who drew it?
Says it all, doesn’t it?
Screw fox. Trump would be much better off if he chose OANN or NEWSMAX As his new go to news organization.
AMEN, AMEN, AND AMEN!
He praises Oann a lot and sits for interviews.
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.
Calling him a ‘Carnival huckster’ gives carnival hucksters a bad name!
I wasn’t thinking it through. Hopefully any carnival huckster that see right through Geraldo Rivera will forgive me the slur. It does sort of dismay me that Geraldo manages to make a living spouting his unrighteous mind.
Jewish Geraldo said in a public discussion ( i think it was on Fox) over fellow-jew Pamela Geller:
” when i hear her talk, i always feel that i need to take a shower.”
If i were Pam i would not even talk to him anymore, whether jewish or not.
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.
GOD BLESS ALL THOSE WHO LOVE AMERICA!
MAGA!
MAGA watch the ones you like on Fox and then watch OAN as soon as some loon dem is put on Fox.
His race is not important. His character IS, or lack thereof, probably the latter.
Being Jewish is not a race, However I agree with the rest of your comment. There are only four races.
Geraldo is not Jewish. He is a liar and Jewish is not a race.
It’s true, when Geraldo appears on my screen I fast forward or switch the channel.
Yep as soon as I see Jerry Rivers I turn the channel.
“geraldo of the Desert”! Remember that?? The whining wimp ducking/weaving while breathlessly ducking ‘bullets!! Geraldo is a true WIMP!!! An idiot!
Geraldo is thinking with his microphone
WHY FOX GIVES THIS JIHAD LOVER SPACE ON THE TV IS VERY OBJECTIONABLE TO SAY THE LEAST! He is always looking for a hassle with some one on the shows he is on!
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!!
I also watch Fox business with varney Maria Trish Lou Kennedy and Charles. Hardly ever see any dems as guests like you do on fnc. It seems like they are owned and produced by 2 different owners. Are they? Does anyone know?
retarded
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.
Geraldo Rivera is as a blade of SWAMP GRASS. He BOWS in any directions the wind is blowing. NO BACK BONE!!!!
I must commend Hegseth for not punching out Rivera. I would have.
Geraldo is a nut.. …with a huge color coated chip on both shoulders. That has been true for years.
I have family from Puerto Rico also.. Knock it of Geraldo.. Get therapy..
For goodness sake, please offer the entire President Trump quote.. He said (paraphrasing), leave America if you hate it so much… Then, go back and fix those places (countries and CULTURES) of your choosing, that you love and respect so much more..and THEN come back and share your wisdom with the rest of us in America..
PS… Hey Geraldo.. Why don’t YOU go back to your often talked about place of origin, and fix their present day problems in Puerto Rico, and put your money and your big mouth to work there..
“” Fox News is making a mistake by providing Rivera with a platform, since Rivera makes the segments that he participates in unwatchable. “”
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 %.
Not long after Ali bin Towelhead fulfilled his cmtmnt, the ol’ red Rupester presciently positioned his progeny to steer the ship full to PORT.
Unlike Daddy, who stuffed his leftism to make billions from starving conservatives, the boys have no worries …
But, yeah, heraldo’s been a POS for years …
He’s such a has-been.
Geraldo will do and say anything to get his name and face on the news. No one knows, including himself, in what he truly believes.
Geraldo is proud to be “roadkill,” unfortunately. I admire his earnestness, even if I disagree with him.
Geraldo always has to come in from the side or from behind on any discussion just to be different even if what he says doesn’t make any sense. Not sure he knows what he says half the time is contrary to common sense.
Geraldo has been masquerading as a Conservative for years when in fact he is a stealth Liberal. I don’t think he is fooling anyone but the dumb Liberals.
Remember when Geraldo said there was stuff in Al Capone’s basement safe? Remember when Geraldo drew a map in the sand in Afghanistan giving the islamic terrorists secrets? Geraldo is a pathetic shyster, a con-man. I would tell Geraldo to go back where he came from, not because of his skin color, but because of his leftist-liberalism and stupidity.
Everyone knows or should know Rivera is a SCUMBAG.
Send her back had nothing to do with race, the race baiting, race card playing Left just loves playing the race card, they like it so much they don’t even use it when it’s appropriate or remotely appropriate. 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…
Geraldo has always been, is now and will always be a leftist loser. He can’t seem to even be able top read what it was that Trump said. It wasn’t racist. it was only deemed to be so by the scumwads that made the anti-American comments…over and over again. If they hate America so much, send them somewhere else..
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!
Jeraldo’s problem is that he never shuts up and won’t listen to anyone else. Go back to 17th St and stay there.
I would boot them out of my house so fast,their head would spin. They would be out on their ass ,as soon as they told me my dog was unclean. I would give them a one way ticket back to the shxthole country they came from.
