Geraldo Rivera Enrages Hosts for Pointing Out Media Didn't Blame Obama for Shootings
MRC News Busters ^ | November 1, 2018 3:46 PM EDT | Kristine Marsh

Thursday on The View, the liberal hosts grilled their guest, FNC's Geraldo Rivera, for comments he made about the pipe bomb suspect, and the media’s attacks on President Trump.

Rivera, who's not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination, still took heat because he defended President Trump and called out CNN for being partisan and biased.

The interview started with Rivera disagreeing with the president about immigration and the caravan but he quickly got into a heated argument with the liberal hosts once they started talking about the mail bombs and the media.

Co-host Joy Behar asked about Rivera’s claim last week that he believed the mail bombs were an “elaborate hoax.” Rivera explained that he apologized for saying that before Behar berated him with, “Why? You know that was total BS and you know it. You're too smart not to know that.”

Rivera explained how the devices were not viable, and how the whole “cartoonish” situation with the suspect’s van seemed like a guaranteed way to hurt the president right before the midterms. “It seemed too pat. I never should have said it. I shouldn't have opined when I didn't know,” he said before apologizing to CNN. But co-host Sunny Hostin pressed him to go further and blame Trump:

Talking about this alleged bomb maker, he had a van plastered with pro Trump propaganda, he videotaped himself at Trump rallies holding signs that said “CNN sucks,” his social media accounts were chock full of Trump fervor and threats to Trump critics. Can you honestly say President Trump's words and actions didn't inspire this guy?

Five policemen shot in Dallas during 2016 and cops all over the country were targets because of Obama’s race-bating rhetoric. That’s a fact and anyone who tries to deny it is chickenshit. Also, there were civilian casualties and property damage in a number of cities, all before Trump was inaugurated, and all because Obama claimed the police “acted stupidly” and “yes we can”.

Meghan McCain is perhaps expecting, I wonder? She has doubled in size all of a sudden. I was stunned, since I don’t watch the view, but for occasional clips of film, like this one. I know she is twice her usual size, however.

Well, it’s possible, but then maybe she’s been stress eating?

Oh! Yes, you’re right! You pose an excellent question. I totally forgot that. I had even just read about Streisand’s weight gain she attributed to TRUMP hate, and another story on DRUDGE, I think it was, about the Left eating their bad mood. LOL!

Obama has been given a complete pass. Take for example his unchallenged abuse of the Bully Pulpit during and after the Zimmerman trial where he initiated, then reinforced, comments (and perhaps developed policies ?) directed toward encouraging racial division which has continued through today’s anti white sloganeering. By employing the methods used by both socialist political systems nazis and soviets.

When those initial Obama statements resulted in inciting black gangs very likely interpreting then as attacks on black honor responding by score of attacks on non whites which resulted into lifelong injuries and deaths through their assaults. The complaisant media avoided making any connection to those Obama remarks even though in some cases gang members arrested for those attacks had done so. By doing so has resulted in the current political situation.

Some of this I cover in my web site

Although seldom seen, Geraldo does have a point. It is unfortunate most times he hides it with the dunce cap atop his head.

A morph-er, his thoughts can be used on either side but are correct and helpful only 50 percent of the time.

Watching those View women talk is like watching videos of drunk russians.

Hearing the clapping seals in their audience is also disgusting.

“He’s taken some other half way decent position I happened to catch when I couldn’t find the remote quick enough to change the channel when he came on.”

Too funny! I do the exact same thing - grab the remote - when Geraldo comes on. And, like you, I did hear him say something sensible a few days ago, and thought, “WTF?”

“He seems to be a fan of DJT.”

I believe he and Trump have geen good friends for decades. After the election it seems that Geraldo went through a jealousy phase, but maybe he’s dealing with the truth now. Who knows?

Distrust of the media did not begin with Donald Trump. Disgust with the media is one of the very significant reasons that PDJT was elected President of the USA.
