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 medias 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 Riveras 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 suspects 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?

Juan Williams with his constipated expressions ruins The Five. He’s like the skunk at the picnic. But the libertarian Guttfield is a colossal, wise-cracking bore who rarely brings anything new to the table.
Dana Perino seems in a constant vanity struggle to keep up with the more beautiful younger guests. So that’s 3 out of “the 5” who Fox could do without. Perino has never said anything worth remembering.
I am tired of Williams and Rivera too, I kind of miss Alan Comes.
and this nutcase injured nobody
He's nothing of the sort. He's a clever, liberal, socialist snake-in-the-grass.
He undoubtedly knows Trump for many years....but I'm sure that privately he's as much a close "friend" to the Donald just as much as the President considers him a close "friend".
Geraldo been touting and taking advantage of his so-called "personal friendship" with Trump for a long time now, almost every single time he's on screen....but all the while, both subtly and overtly, he's knocking away at many of Trump's POLICIES like a Woody Woodpecker....and he regularly rides the fence on others of the President's policies just to try to stay on Fox viewers' good sides.
With shifty "friends" like Geraldo, Trump doesn't need enemies.
I vaguely remember that many years ago there was a poll on FR for the most disliked political commentator on Fox...and Rivera won hands-down...maybe someone can refresh my memory.
I doubt that nothing has changed, and folks here can still discern what a weasel Rivera really is.

Its the narrative, Jerry! You idiot! We have a narrative to reinforce. They spent a lot of money to establish it, and you know what they are going to do you if you dont toe the line! :)

Lil’ Juanito lacks the arrogance of Whoraldo, but his stupidity serves as good replacement ?
Whorealdo is sincere, Juan is merely a purveyor of talking points
When Jerryaldo comes on, the channel changes! Jerryaldo is being kind. Whorealdo is more suited!
