Geraldo Rivera reversed course early Wednesday morning, saying that he does not actually have additional tapes of Donald Trump making troublesome statements.
The Fox News personality apologized to Trump on Twitter for claiming earlier this week that he had unreleased videos of the Republican presidential nominee making comments that "would be embarrassing."
In fact, Rivera said, all he had were tapes of Trump's comments about comedian Rosie O'Donnell, whom Trump has called "fat," a "pig," and a "loser."
Contrary to my on-air remarks- a search of my files found No Relevant #TrumpTapes. There is 1 re: ugly feud w Rosie O'Donnell, an old story. — Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) October 12, 2016
I apologize to @realDonaldTrump for piling on & adding fuel to #TrumpTapes scandal. You always treated me and mine w respect & friendship. — Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) October 12, 2016

I’m guessing Geraldo backtracked when this clip about sexually assaulting Bette Midler with poppers started spreading...
Geraldo should be used to being a loser by now. He has had years of experience.
Al Capone’s Vault: 2016
I watched that debacle back in the day. Only in America could a liberal bounce back from a nothing-burger like that. If that had been Bill O’Reilly, say, you wouldn’t even know who I was talking about.
I guess he rummaged around in Al Capone’s vault and didn’t find any video tapes after all.
Look at Letterman.
How many times did he have Trump on his show?
He always seemed to enjoy him as a guest.
In fact, I bet that Trump was a go-to guy when another guest cancelled.
He'd just phone Trump, and voila, sure Dave, I'll fill in!
Now he's calling him all kinds of crap.
Hey Dave, if Trump is such a "racist", why did you keep having him on your show?
Doesn't speak so well for YOU, does it Dave?
Liberals are such nasty backstabbers.
I agree, the worst of backstabbers.
You know, all the past or current acquaintances of the Clintons that dropped dead..., the people who went to jail and prison for them, the McDougals and others, the Clintons are the face of the Democrat party.
They personify what it is all about.
Interesting.
If that’s the case that he’s a Hillary supporter, then why would he do that?
No, CYA for civil lawsuit. By acknowledging the “error” and apologizing he can’t be sued for slander or libel.
Everyone will remember the allegation and never hear about the retraction.
What an asswipe.
Good Point
