Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera, one of the main personalities on “The Five,” is in some very hot water once again with his more conservative critics, this time over an opinion he posted to Twitter about the House GOP majority and the priorities of that majority, particularly investigating Hunter Biden for his past dealings and looking into what Joe Biden knew about them.
And that wasn’t all. Geraldo also was upset about the special counsels that have been appointed to look into both President Biden and former President Donald Trump regarding their holding of classified information.
Posting about all that on social media, Geraldo said:
Appointing a Special Counsel to investigate President Biden is as lame as it was to raid & relentlessly probe President Trump. Scold both of them. Revoke their library cards. Then, for the good of the country, move on.
This case has 0 impact on the American people

Predictably, conservative Twitter was furious and sounded off on Geraldo in the comments of that post, saying things like (as always, these comments are included not to put forward any statement of fact but rather to reflect what people online are saying about an issue. Take them and use them only as that, not as the American Tribune making any statement of fact or claim on the matters discussed in the below comments):
“I may be mistaken but I missed your vitriolic response when trumps residence was raided with armed agents going through his wife’s underwear drawer.”
“Well, talk to your tribe, the Democrats. We have been hearing BS about Trump for 6 years now, plus the multi-millions of wasted taxpayer’s money on investigations and 2 impeachments. Now you want to move on because Democrats are on the clock to be investigated.”
“The censorship is over, Geraldo. Your narrative doesn’t hold water anymore. We know what’s going on, and nothing you say can spin it. Joe Biden is guilty.”
“Whitewashing a VP stealing classified documents (which it has been reported are conveniently on point w/ topics/nations his son Hunter was in business dealings with) and holding on to them for 6+ yrs on various unsecure locations is NOT the best look Geraldo… A little sus…”
“suppose Biden was storing top secret docs about Ukraine to keep people from finding out how corrupt he has been, how many millions they’ve given him for influence…? Trump’s top secret docs gave him no advantage in life. Biden MUST be investigated… but it won’t be real.”
“Dear Geraldo, we are watching you on the Five right now and you are totally embarrassing yourself! Time to move on!”
“Now that Biden is involved you want to simply “move on”…..hack”
“One version is someone who believes (whether you approve/agree or not) the docs in his possession, that are secured by lock & SS, are declassified…the other is a meat puppet w/no authority to have the docs littering them everywhere, either w/malicious intent or b/c “oopsie””
“We need to see a high level Democrat, any Democrat, raided, persecuted, impeached, arrested, something, anything! You are tone deaf at a minimum.”
“There’s something wrong with you. Biden is compromised by China. He as VP had no right to have classified documents in his possession. That’s treason. The place where some of the documents were found was financed by China. Highly classified info was probably stolen by China.”
Meanwhile, though Geraldo might want to move on, Republicans are demanding answers on the Biden documents and just who had access to the ones in his Deleware home.
“There are no visitor logs for President Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, the White House Counsel’s office said in a Monday statement. Republicans on Capitol Hill demanded the visitor logs this weekend following revelations that Biden’s lawyers had discovered a stash of classified documents inside the home’s garage. While it is common practice to keep comprehensive visitor logs at the White House, Biden’s lawyers say no such record exists for his home in Delaware,” Fox News reported.
