Fireworks erupted on Fox News Tuesday night after Geraldo Rivera directly implicated former President Donald Trump of inciting riots at the United States Capitol building.
Host Sean Hannity began by asking Rivera why Congress was only investigating the Capitol riot and not the assorted riots that took place in response to the murder of George Floyd last year.
Rivera replied that those riots were not an attack on the American republic and system of government the way that this one was.
“This was a riot that was unleashed, incited, and inspired by the president of the United States, which targeted the heart of American democracy” Rivera charged.
Hannity tried to deflect blame by claiming that Trump had urged protesters to act “peacefully,” without noting the fact that Trump for more than three hours refused to tell the rioters to leave the Capitol after the riots had begun.
Rivera responded by citing Hannity’s own texts that he sent to Meadows during the riots asking Trump to put out a statement telling people to leave.
“I beg you, Sean, to remember the frame of mind you were in when you wrote that text on January 6,” he said. And when Laura did. And when Brian did. And when Don Jr. did! Remember that concern you had. Remember the frustration you had at our beloved 45th president.”
Guest Dan Bongino wasted no time in accusing Rivera of disloyalty.
“The backstabbing of the president you’re engaging in is really disgusting!” he fumed.

Someone should break his nose again.
Can Al Capone’s vault be welded shut? Geraldo might fit.
Sometimes I think Geraldo has fake on the air fights with more conservative hosts just to kick up some dust, get more likes on Twitter. If this dispute was not one of those fake
Big Time Wrestling style argument, perhaps Geraldo needs to be the next Fox News Misfit to walk the plank.
He can jolly well follow Chris over to CNN.
Jerry Rivers auditioning to take over for Chris Wallace’s slot?
Or just being his usual douchebag self?
I don’t know what keeps Gutfeld from doing it on The Five
Too nice a guy, I guess
Jerry Rivers is a backstabbing bag of hammers.
Even without dementia he is barely more coherent than Joetato.
Jerry is a leftist buffoon.
Just another reason why I won’t watch FOX anymore. (As if I needed another reason).
Jessie, Greg, Katie and Dagen regularly berate Geraldo for his stupid anti-conservative comments when he shows up on The Five.
Two reasons not to watch Fox News: Geraldo and Hannity.
Let’s go Rivers!
Gutfeld DOES get back at Whorealdo, but then LAUGHS to take the sting out. Dear Greg......LEAVE THE STING IN!
Jan 6th should ha e taken place also, in a dozen State capitals, where the election results had been overtly corrupted by the ultra bold and cynical election fraud processes which were unleashed during the Rlection. The should have become resolute, sustained protests , supported and backed up by both law enforcement and the military , until all the elements which launched the soft coup against Trump were thrown down and permanently expunged from power. But the people , Instead, surrendered. Now look...
Man, I can’t stand listening to that guy, or even looking at him for that matter.
Wrong - and disgusting...
Trumps words from that day are there for all to read and watch. The man never told those folks to riot. He in fact used the word “peacefully” , specifically. He may have expected some angry protests …. Since he did ask for NG assistance but if the game is to say he riled them up… and he instigated the violence, there’s no evidence to back that claim. Anyone… including Jerry Rivers needs to produce something more than fake news hysteria.
Then we can blame Pelosi and Schumer and Obama for BLMs summer of love and all the destruction across the United States.
Back when I did watch Faux Spews I would always turn them off when Whoraldo came on the air, him and Juan Williams. NOw that I haven’t watched them in 6-7 years I do not miss Faux at all.
