Geraldo Rivera signed off at Fox News for good last week, and during his final appearance on the network, he praised the effects that affirmative action had on his career days after the Supreme Court struck down the college admissions policy.
Appearing during a festive sendoff on “Fox and Friends” Friday, in which his colleagues at the conservative news network donned fake mustaches with balloons in the background, Rivera noted that he was a “product of affirmative action” when one of his co-hosts asked him to reflect on how his career in broadcast news has touched the Hispanic community.
“I thank you for the for the opportunity, because affirmative action has just been voted down by the Supreme Court of the United States and a very controversial decision that will impact many people of color,” Rivera said. “I was a product of affirmative action over a half a century ago.”

And it certainly shows
Good riddance
Low IQ
I’m proud of my participation trophies.
That explains a lot.
No shame
In other words = I had no talent.
He’s so full of sh!t. Here in the Denver market, before he was an intern, we had many charasmatic Hispanic reporters. There’s no WAY they were hired via AA!
Which makes sense because he is horrible at what he does.
speaks volumes! LOL what a loser he is; so stupid, he has to admit he couldn’t get the job on merit!

Actually, Affirmative Action didn’t exist that far back.
Therefore one can only conclude that he was hired on merit, but is using his ethnicity/race to BASH the Supreme Court.

If so, then there’s a decent chance that Geraldo was chosen over a more qualified candidate. Perhaps Geraldo should find that person, and apologize to him.
This would give Geraldo something to do, now that he’s unemployed.
Because he was Jewish?
More precisely, the typical failure associated with affirmative action...
This ludricous weasel needs to be sealed in a pyramid tomb...
Ugh he is such a twit
I once heard Jerry claim to be a Republican.
So basically, there is no good reason I should have ever heard of this a-hole.
Yep seems like it to me.

Certainly wasn’t your expertise! duh! Here is where affirnmative action and now DEI go to die a miserable death
