Geraldo: I must regretfully conclude that Trump’s critics are right that he’s a racist

AllahpunditPosted at 4:01 pm on July 22, 2019

Doing my small part to promote this quote from over the weekend in hopes that Trump will begin flaming Geraldo on Twitter. Because if Trump starts flaming him, you know he’s going to bring up the Al Capone’s vault episode, as most of Trump’s cultural reference points seem to date to the 1980s or earlier.

And I think it’d be amazing if We As A People spent a day or two dunking on Geraldo for that again.

Anyway, Rivera’s off the Trump train — I think, although I’m not sure. Usually, concluding that a politician is racist necessarily leads to “and therefore I can no longer in good conscience support him,” but the last four years in Republican politics have been one long exercise day by day of justifying why the latest obnoxious Trump behavior simply isn’t disqualifying. Odds are at least fair that Geraldo will end up deciding that racism is tolerable in a president so long as it manifests only in fleeting moments, not as a pattern.

Well, if Geraldo thinks so, It must be true..... :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

When Trump got elected and some people said he'd now turn "presidential," I scoffed. A leopard can't change its spots, and Trump is what he is.  He spouts off about the first thing that enters his brain without thinking.
His latest rant about the Squalids was decidedly unpresidential.
But he wasn't wrong about them (they're contemptible scoundrels), and it wasn't racist. For many liberals criticizing non-whites is automatically racist. Unless the non-white is a conservative.
It's just that The Donald (contrary to what his disciples believe) is not aware of the repercussions of what he spouts off about.
His faithful forget that he does not have to convince them...he has to convince the middle third of voters who switch allegiance on things like this. If they don't go for him next year, he loses.

Tell it to Ben Carson, Elaine Chao, Nikki Haley, and Alexander Acosta. Then after that have a chat with the many "POC"s Trump has appointed to be Federal judges. I doubt Rivera has the intellect to understand the significance of all those people.

Trump says a lot of irritating things, and I truly wish just once he'd have an unexpressed thought, but I have yet to see anything racist or bigoted from him.

Agreed.  Trump doesn't speak of people in reaction to their race, as would a racist, but instead in reaction to whether or not they flatter him, as does a narcissist.

There is plenty for which he can be criticized, but racism is not on that list.

Geraldo was riding high with his career when he did the Capone vault stunt.  I think he shot himself in the foot, and he tumbled somewhat with his career.  But remember, he is a flaming liberal working for a mostly conservative network. 

Unlike Juan Williams, who makes me want to barf every time he opens his mouth, Geraldo has learned to temper his comments to make himself sound objective from time to time.  He is perhaps the most logical of the liberal loonies on Fox, which have more than their share.

But he lost all cred to declare Trump as racist.  That response is nonsense.  Time for Geraldo to retire, for he makes no sense.

Although Rivera calls himself a Republican, every time he opens his yap he sounds like a liberal Democrat.
He's one of those pearl clutchers who gasp whenever a white person criticizes a black person or poc, a phrase I despise. The fact that only two of the squalid squad are really black does not matter. Tlaib is an Arab, or Caucasian, and AOC hardly qualifies as  that dreadful title, person of color.
They're more pos than poc if you get my drift.

I think some of them do that just so they can claim objectivity.  I seriously doubt that he votes R, just uses that for the cred.

Geraldo (Gerry Rivers) got in some real hot water back in the late 60's or early 70's (can't recall exactly) for showing the unaltered Zapruder film on his late night Tee BEE show and completely disappeared for a LONG time afterward.  He's learned his lesson now and toes the party line. 

What you see on that idiot box screen does not give you any insights at all WRT what he, or Juan Williams, truly believe.  They are playing roles for money there.

Rivera was one of the first tv "reporters/journalists" who injected themselves into the story instead of making a straightforward report. Geraldo desperately wanted to make sure you knew how much he cared about the people involved in the story.

It seems to me Jerry should be disqualified to be on any FNC panel discussing Donald Trump.  This taints him.  But, I know they'll do it anyway. :tongue2:
