Longtime Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, eponymous funnyman of the number one comedy show Gutfeld! appeared to tweet his support for his now-former colleague Tucker Carlson after he called out the often-wrong Geraldo Rivera.
Carlson, whose shocking exit was made public just this past Monday, fired back at Geraldo on Wednesday after the latter cursed out Carlson’s “perverse” viewpoints of January 6th as nothing more than “bullsh*t.”
“I don’t wish ill on anybody, but there is no doubt-as I said at the time-Tucker Carlson’s perverse January 6 conspiracy theory was “bullsh*t,” Rivera tweeted. “Having lost the election President Trump incited an insurrection that sought to undermine our Constitutional process.”
In reply, Gutfeld quote-tweeted the worthless Rivera by saying: “You’re a class act Geraldo. A real man of the people.”

After all of the lies the government has pushed on the American populace, it’s simply incredible that anyone still believes them. All Carlson has done is question whether or not we are getting the whole story – you know, what journalism is supposed to do. He made public previously hidden security camera footage from the so-called “Insurrection” and it enabled an imprisoned political prisoner to be set free.
As always, Geraldo is a clueless buffoon. If Fox News feels like Carlson was too much and feels like people such as the mustachioed hack or Juan Williams should be given a platform, it doesn’t say much about their credibility. And smart people are already walking away, evidenced both by the incredibly ignominious viewership decline in the 8:00 pm time slot already as well as the massive hit to market value to Fox’s publicly traded parent company.
Geraldo loves having bad takes, no doubt because small-minded people like to be contrarians simply to be different. Earlier this year, the Fox contributor faced calls for his firing after slamming Donald Trump’s presidency and his post-election fury.
“Donald Trump was a grossly underrated and unfairly besieged president. I will not vote for him in 2024-not because of what he did in office-but what he did after he lost the election,” Rivera tweeted. “In 2024 the danger to the Republic will not be if he wins. It will be if he loses.”
These are unserious allegations from an unserious person. Where was Geraldo when Hillary and pretty much every other Democrat claimed the 2016 election was stolen? Does Geraldo really think Trump is a greater threat to freedom than the current Democrat administration, with its emphasis on woke identity politics and the collapse of the rule of law?
Has he ever even commented on the Biden campaign’s collusion with intelligence officers to ensure the initial release of Hunter Biden’s laptop was discredited as “Russian disinformation”?
For his part, Carlson broke his post-Fox silence by releasing a wildly popular video on Twitter Wednesday. The video garnered millions of views, as the former Fox host shared a resonating message about the average American.
“Good evening. It’s Tucker Carlson, one of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind of decent people, people who really care about what’s true and a bunch of hilarious people. Also, a lot of those, it’s got to be the majority of population even now. So that’s heartening,” Carlson began in the video.
“The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are, they’re completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, we won’t even remember that we had them, trust me as someone who’s participated, and yet the same time,” he continued.
“And this is the amazing thing, the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all war, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources. When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues? It’s been a long time,” he added.
