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 bet he was contacted by a Trump team of lawyers that told him to produce or shut up. Not having the ‘evidence’ and knowing he’d become destitute, he caved.

Wasn’t Geraldo Rivera forecasting what we were doing in Afghanistan?
He, along with a handful of others, pulled FOX into the toilet.

“Fox News seems to have changed their anti-Trump tune with the latest batch of Hillary campaign emails....

...Maybe word went out, ease up on Trump.”

Maybe word went out that “the coup failed ... run, hide!”.

Geraldo is being influenced by his wife who is a big Hillary supporter. Probably both of their families on Geraldo and his wife’s sides are supporting Hillary too. Geraldo is torn between his experience with Trump when he was on The Apprentice, and that he likes Trump personally, and the influences his family on both sides are having on him. Problems, problems, problems, and Geraldo stands to lose either choice he makes.

Publicity to a celebrity is like heroin to an addict. They crave it and will do or say anything to get it.Aging celebrities who are ignored are the most miserable people imaginable.

“At least he apologized”

I will give him that. He could have just said nothing.

“So, Rivera backtracking and essentially complimenting, Trump. Very interesting. Cracks in the Media narrative?”

Just remember, the initial story is what people hear, retractions however.....not so much.

The people that were threatening to release other tapes were trying to pressure Trump to quit. When he didn’t he called their bluff. You will now see some major backtracking but we remember who backstabbed the nominee. Et tu, Jerry?

Yet once again, everything Trump says ends up being the truth!

Their is a seed of conscience/Holy Spirit in each person and on occasion(s) it springs forth a bit of new growth in doing right.
