Former Fox News host's stunning condemnation of Trump goes viral as star renounces MAGA beliefs

By Germania Rodriguez Poleo, Chief U.S. Reporter

Published: 15:43 EDT, 14 October 2024 | Updated: 16:59 EDT, 14 October 2024

Former Fox News host Geraldo Rivera has spectacularly withdrawn his support for Donald Trump and renounced his previous MAGA beliefs. 

Rivera took to X, formerly Twitter, to share a lengthy statement lambasting his former friend Trump for his unwillingness to accept the results of the 2020 election.

'Former President Trump is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the Constitution,' the veteran journalist wrote on Monday.

'That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President.'

Geraldo recalled Trump being a 'loyal friend' to him during his presidency, which he called 'underrated.'

But he noted the two have not spoken since a phone call in November, 2020 - just days after Joe Biden won the election.

OK Boomer.

He really isn't  a boomer.  Just a ancor baby.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Stunning?  Hardly.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
This is the one person who got reporters UN-embedded during the Gulf War by literally drawing out the plan (in the sand) the unit he was with (on live TV) for attacking the force they were engaged with.

He lost relevance then, and is as full of meaning as Al Capone's safe. Meh.

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. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

MAGA has beliefs?  I thought they just played follow the Orange Leader.

Okay, I clicked this thinking there was a good news story here. It's just Whorealdo. Looks like he's needing some attention. Yawn. Nothing to see here.

Rivera was always a liberal POS.  Why Fox News kept this relic around is a mystery.

Geraldo or Trump?
Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution". These words and the words that follow, were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well! They must apply to everyone, or they mean nothing! - James Tiberius Kirk

This is the moment in 1986, where Geraldo's legacy was permanently sealed.

You could win 10 Pulitizers and still not live this shit down.

He's a lawyer.  A bad one at that for violating rule number one.  Never ask a question, or open a vault, that you don't already know the answer to.

My favorite memory of him was when he was knocked down by a rogue wave at the Galveston seawall right before Hurricane Ike.

Good times....

(No, he wasn't hurt).
