Fox News contributor Geraldo Rivera had arguably the most pathetic melt-down ever seen on live television on Wednesday night when he appeared on Sean Hannity's show alongside Dan Bongino.
The segment was supposed to be about discussing the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
But the conversation went south when Rivera acted like a child, shouted over Bongino numerous times, threw his papers at the camera, and he even completely turned around at one point.

I’m going contra on this. I can’t stand Bongino. He is the full New York. Same goes for Hannity. Don’t get me wrong—I AGREE WITH THEM 95% of the time. But they are so freaking obnoxious. Geraldo, who I agree with only occasionally, is at least a gentleman.
Whorealdo is always on the wrong side of the eight ball.
This behavior must poll well with young democrats that want to get coverage and start media narratives After Nancy they know it will get negative coverage for a week.Expect more of the same.
Bongino has to have his strong hand tied down to make it kinda fair.
I quite watching Hannity's TV show and listening to his radio show for the same reason--and it's not just about Bongino and Rivera. Hannity thinks people acting like jackrears makes for good TV or radio. He encourages and relishes such behavior, when really, it's just boring.
But, but he’s an 11 time Emmy winner!
His head is as empty as Capone’s vault.
Yep. Police and SS training outranks Jerry Rivers hysteria any day.
<< Rivera shot back: “I’m an out of control lunatic? I’m a ten-time Emmy winner.” >>
Ah yes, the old “do you know who I am?” defense.
I believe all this to be a made up controversy to attract ratings. Like those old Mike and The Mad Dog feuds on WFAN in the ‘90s. None of it was real. It was concocted by program director Mark Chernoff. Same thing is going on here. Hannity wants viewers, Bongino wants cred, and Gerry Rivers wants the spotlight again.
<< “I demand a cease-fire,” [Geraldo] said. >>
Did he stomp his feet while saying it?
OH yes, he’s very gentlemanly as he does exactly what Dan accuses his of doing, i.e. using his platform to mislead and lie about what is happening in this conflict. And, it’s so gentlemanly to talk over someone and call them a punk.
Dan is right to call him out on using the death of children to shield his anti Israeli BS.
I don’t profess to know and understand all the history between these two peoples but I can unequivocally that Hamas began this by firing random rockets into Israel.
If they, Hamas, want peace and to stop the death of its people, all it has to do is stop with the rockets.
Geraldo knows this and yet, perpetuates the lie that Hamas is the victim here. Not a very gentlemanly thing to do.
I saw the ruckus last night and Dan did get very personal and insulting, not reiterating facts as he should have. However, Geraldo looked like he was going to leave his seat and I wish he had. He bragged about his great accomplishments and offered little else other than ego. Why even have Geraldo on ? He greatest achievements were having sex with Bette Midler in a closet (which the creep boasted about) and hustling the story on Al Capone’s save.
They both went backstage and high-fived each other when over.

Watching Gerald Rivers whine about virtually everything then argue with Bongino, while Hannity didn’t seem to have the ability to excercise some authority over his own show and keep these two and others from running amok was a big part of the reason I quit watching Hannity long before I quit watching Fox.
I just saw him let way too many people interrupt others, argue, shout someone down, and outright lie in some cases, I finally said good riddance to Hannity.
A few months later I said good riddance to Fox.
Most “debate” segments on Fox involve the two parties arguing their talking points. Bongino and Rivera come off like a SNL parody if those debates.
