In a statement, Fox News confirmed Bolling's suspension Saturday afternoon.

"Eric Bolling has been suspended pending the results of an investigation, which is currently underway," a Fox spokesperson said.

Acrually Geraldo was fairly pro-Trump all along. While he didn’t say so directly he hinted he would vote for him over Hillary. He said he disagreed on immigration but other than that he thought Trump would be a good president, and the characterizations of Trump as a buffoon were nonsense. He’s known Trump a long time and was on Celebrety Apprentice.

“An attorney for Bolling said he had no recollection of the messages and doesn’t believe he sent them.”

If I was accused of sending Lewd images to ANYONE, I would instantly know that I had not.

I wouldn’t have to think about it.

“Well, I’m not sure, it was years ago, it depends on your definition of “lewd”. One person’s “lewd” is another person’s “sexy”. I mean who can remember every lewd email or who you sent them to.”

I used to like Eric when he started on The Five a few years ago - he was funny, humble & a “guy’s guy”, but then he started talking about his wife Adrienne ‘ad nauseam’ - specifically about how she always wanted him to watch TV alongside her to watch her shows — Miss Universe, the Grammy’s, Miss America, BravoTV, etc. — and he started to sound like he was “pu**ywhipped”.
I was turned off every time he mentioned his wife because here’s this guy who almost played pro baseball, who was an Alpha Male of sorts, and he was “very tired because I didn’t get a good night sleep since Adrienne made me watch Miss USA last night.”
Fast-Forward to today’s headlines: Maybe he sent these photos or sexted because he needed a release and/or reprieve from the grip of his wife. That does not excuse his behavior, and no one knows exactly what goes on in a marriage, or if these allegations are true, but the Eric of 2011 is not the Eric of 2017. The Eric of The Fox News Specialists is a completely different individual that I don’t even recognize.

Fox is now being run by “Son of Murdoch”, AKA George Soros, as left an a-hole as they come.

The new regime at Fox News has been paying out large sex harassment settlements almost for the asking, so exaggeration at least seems plausible, and even sheer invention cannot be excluded.

That statement all but said “ I DID IT” in Clinton speak.

Well, why not? It has always worked for the Clintons and other Democrats and it may be the only chance he has.

I have a problem understanding why the women who allegedly were recipients of the lewd images (depictions of his genitalia) needed years to decide they were deeply offended.

I recall differently.

He was very much against Trump in the primaries. Very critical of him.

Once Trump became the GOP nominee, Geraldo softened a bit, trading on recalling that he knew Trump from NYC.

Now he is pro-Trump. ‘Bout time.

This story is odd. How did this reporter get 14 unnamed sources to this....yet Fox news knew nothing about it and needs to do an investigation?

Unlike the other allegations against Fox hosts, it doesn’t seem like any of the women complained to management. If they had, there would have already been an investigation.
