Fox News Channel’s token liberal, Geraldo Rivera, just infuriated real conservatives again, this time with what he posted about Trump, saying that the former president is a “threat to the Republic.” Here’s what Geraldo posted:
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.
In 2024 the danger to the Republic will not be if he wins. It will be if he loses.

Predictably, the Gerlado tweet set off a firestorm of conservative outrage, with commenters saying things like:
“You need to be fired immediately”
“He’s going to win again in 2024. And this time, he knows politics far better than before. Keep underestimating him.”
“give us all a break Geraldo”
“All 5 of Geraldos followers give a damn what he thinks”
“I guess he thinks having an opinion (questioning election results) in the western world is unacceptable. Noted. I wonder if, in his utopia, we’re allowed to question the approach of WWIII.”
“Funny, just about everything he said has come true. Now I really doubt he actually lost the 2020 election. I’m voting for Tump in 2024.”
“@GeraldoRivera these words are used and have been used by hundreds of leaders throughout our history.
It is never taken literally, unless of course it spoken by Trump. “Fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” he said.”
“@FoxNews he should be removed as zero proof after 2 years of Trump inciting violence on Jan6. Check his own Twitter! @SpeakerMcCarthy release the Jan6 videos now!”
“@FoxNews why does he still work for you?”
“Why is the liberal mustache still on fox?”
This isn’t the first time that Geraldo has faced calls that he be fired for going woke. The same thing happened after he went on the offensive against the new GOP House majority and suggested that Hunter Biden should be let off the hook, saying:
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
Similarly, Fox News Channel fans were outraged after he went full lib on gun control, saying, during an attack on AR-15 ownershipt: “it makes makes Macho the people who possess it. ‘Oh, look at me. I’m a big deal’. And it’s not a right. It is an automatic rifle. ”
That Geraldo comment came after Biden, at an MLK event, said:
“I am going to get ‘assault weapons’ banned. I did it once and I’m going to do it again. And ban the number of bullets that can go in a magazine. There’s no no need for any of that.“I love my right-wing friends who talk about the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots. If you need to worry about taking on the federal government you need some F-15s. You don’t need an AR-15. Think about it.”
