    Don’t let this fool you folks, Geraldo may talk bad about Trump now but it’s only to cover for himself.

    In Jan 21, he literally said “let’s be clear, Trump is the greatest single term president in history.”

    Let’s be clear, Geraldo is no saint or good guy now because he’s talking bad about Trump. He’s still a POS.

    I’m not sure that correctly identifying him as a racist counts as a rejection from Fox News hosts.

  3. So is a lot of the Republican party. This feels like they’re starting to try to blame all the bullshit that they’ve done over the last decade entirely on him. Fuck that. Their complicity shall not be forgotten.

    Geraldo has been grifting Americans for decades. “Al Capones vault” = A closet with 5 old beer bottles on the floor.

  5. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.nj.com/politics/2024/10/one-time-trump-loving-fox-news-host-rejects-him-now-hes-an-absolute-racist.html) reduced by 63%. (I’m a bot)

    > "… If you are a Republican, Donald Trump has made a liar of you. He has coaxed and intimidated tens of millions into pretending he was reelected in 2020, and that the election was stolen. In furtherance of that Big Lie, on January 6, 2021, Trump incited and unleashed the violent attack on the center of democracy, the U.S. Capitol," Rivera said in a lengthy post on X where he endorsed Kamala Harris for president.

    > In a recent TV interview, the former Fox News host referred to Trump as an "Absolute racist.”

    > Rivera, once a friend of Trump who split with him over the former president's false claims of winning the 2020 election, has said that "Under no circumstances do I think Donald Trump should be president of the United States again and that's an important message I am committed to bringing to the American people between now and November 2024.".

  6. The may be starting to realize he isn’t going to win, and are distancing themselves prior to the potential chaos that may ensue..

    Rivera wins either way. If he loses, he disavowed Trump before the election. If he wins, Rivera pretends he never said anything, and the public has short attentions spans.

    Would read to much to this.

    Fck that guy. Complete opportunistic POS that sends unsolicited nude pics to people. Scks any dck that comes along, political or entertainment. Jckass

  8. And he always has been. I give them zero credit for trying to jump off this sinking ship to save themselves now.

  9. Chris Christie and Geraldo fall into the category WHO CARES- they seem to have a new position in Trump every six months.

    This motherfucker and everyone else who has supported this dipshit post 2016 owns this outcome – it’s too late to wash their hands clean of this threat to democracy.

    I just hear the ending to “Watch The World Burn” by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard from the Dark Knight, when I think of men like him in power…. The people that don’t want that kind of power are the most qualified to have it.

  12. Racism is a huge part of his appeal.

    Also: misogyny, antisemitism, homophobia, anti-immigration (white immigrants – ok), and support for no-exceptions, nationwide abortion ban.

  13. ReputationGullible14 on

    These clowns are the reason he got into this position, they spotlighted him and had no problem riding his coattails until it became more lucrative for them to do the opposite.

    Rivera is a mercenary for sale

  14. Which part of Trump running for president by calling Mexicans rapists didn’t Geraldo Rivera understand?

  15. Breaking news! Trump is a racist! Nothing gets past this guy. What was the tip-off, the Central Park five billboards from 35 years ago? Or was it from getting fined for not renting to black people when he was still daddy’s office boy?

  16. Connect_Location9380 on

    It’s always been obvious that he did not have the character to lead this country. Anyone who claims to only recognize that now was/is likely an opportunist, a racist, or a moron.

  17. Objective_Regret2768 on

    So if Trump losses, in the next few months we going to see more of these people come out of the wood work

    GR can go fuck himself. As if he hasn’t knowingly played a part in this for years.

  19. I mean… let’s all take what we can get for Harris support.

    But the rest of us all saw this in 2015 and knew he was a piece of garbage accordingly. Some serious delusion going on to have convinced yourself back then that he was worth supporting.

    Here’s some racist-related Geraldo trivia. As an old person (GenX), I remember when Geraldo Rivera (real name: Riviera, he changed it to be less “Spanish”) had a talk show in like 91 or 92 and invited skinheads and KKK members on to talk w members of the Black community. A fight broke out (surprise!) and GR got hit in the face with a chair, which broke his nose. Later that year, David Letterman (late nite talk show in the olden days) had a joke “Christmas Gift Top Ten” list (Christmas, not Holiday, because back then we didn’t recognize any other beliefs….hmmm…) and the number one gift was a door knocker where the plate was Geraldo’s face and the knocker was a wooden chair. The early 90s were a fun, fun, racist time, I tell ya.

  21. He’s seen absolutely no sign of trump’s racism in the forty plus years he’s known him. 🙄

  22. THIS JUST IN: Fox News is, and always has been, an ultra-liberal woke marxist deep state fake news bias! — magats, probably

  23. I wonder if anyone on earth actually says, “I wanna hear what Geraldo thinks of this issue.”
