On Friday’s edition of Fox News Channel’s “The Five,” occasional co-host Geraldo Rivera expressed little sympathy for the families of four Americans murdered by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya.
Panelists were discussing the “drip, drip, drip” of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails, and the scandal that was much of their focus.
“At the end of the dripping, like the fake stand-down order in Benghazi, this will be a fake scandal. It will have done its job…” Rivera started to say.
Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., exploded.
“Benghazi is a fake scandal?” she cut in. “Benghazi is a fake scandal.”
Rivera answered, “Benghazi is a fake scandal in terms of…”
“Benghazi is a fake scandal,” McCain repeated. “How about the families of the…”
This time Rivera cut McCain off, and the exchange deteriorated into crosstalk.
“Don’t give me that,” Rivera said. “Don’t give me that family stuff.”
“Don’t give me that?” McCain repeated.
Eventually Greg Gutfeld cut in and brought up the anti-Muslim YouTube video that Clinton tried to pawn off on the public and the families of the four fallen Americans as the reason for the Benghazi attack.
Rivera countered that the idea that Clinton and President Barack Obama stood by and did nothing during the attack is a lie.
“The lie is the video,” Gutfeld shot back. “The lie is the video!”

Whorealdo and Juan are UNWATCHABLE on THE FIVE, which I used to watch ALL the time!! They SUCK up 50% of the time telling their lies.
Fox hasn’t caught on yet! They will eventually.
Geraldo is a major step DOWN from Beckel.
I don't even watch FOX anymore.
Whoreraldo didn’t jump the shark. He screwed the pooch.
Yep quite appropriate that after starting her career dogging Nixon.
And also quite interesting that she got the axe from that job for malfeasance
Mama, I call it the Dixie Chicks treatment.
And I give it to all kinds of people and places where I disagree with their beliefs.
Britt Hume sounds like he’s been in Washington way to long. He can’t put together a straightforward commentary without dancing all around the issue with maybe this, and maybe that’s. He’s an odd mix of acting like he has a deep understanding but only clouds the topic with vague and oblique statements. He’s very frustrating to listen to IMO.
Like all liberals, when challenged Juan immediately digresses into all manner of unrelated topics to distract from the real issue at hand. His defense to the failures, ineptitude and scandals of Democrats today is to go off on a tangent about some old, irrelevant and obscure “misdeeds” of Republicans that happened long ago. Fox should tell him to stay on topic now and then, but they won’t.
