Discussion: Geraldo Slams Treatment Of Asylum Seekers: 'I Am Ashamed. This Tear Gas Choked Me.'

Good. Maybe someone else from Trump TV will wake up and start speaking out about this humanitarian crisis against families, including babies and toddlers.

Fox is typing up his walking papers now. This will blow back, though. At least so I pray.

Please notice that Geraldo has just now recognized the awful immigration policies of TrumpCo. He has yet to recognize the awfulness of FOXNews and its craven support of the worst impulses of TrumpCo in this area…except when Trump wants illegal Poles doing labor in NYC real estate and the foreigners he hires in lieu of local Americans for Mar A Lago and similar operations.

If only he were ashamed enough to mention that Fox News is a promoter of the rhetoric he claims to deplore. And maybe quit.

If you are truly ashamed, resign from FoxNews, otherwise your comments ring totally hollow.

Don’t count on it. Fox is the most prominent element of the wingnut economy. Fox is married to its propaganda mission.

Trump folks say no gas was fired at kids. Photos at the scene say otherwise. When confronted a spokesman on cnn said gas was used and kids may have been in the crowd but the cannisters weren’t fired at them. That is a difference without any meaning.

Geraldo shouldn’t be too shamed, it’s basically food they were throwing at them…

Oh please! If anyone thinks Geraldo actually gives a crap about poor immigrants, my God.
He probably got a bonus from Fox for saying this.

I sort of like the idea that he stays thee and keeps up this line of reporting. Lots of folks listen to Fox 24/7. It may be interesting for them to see one of their tv gods say these things. On the other hand, I think Rivera is half Hispanic and have European Jewish - a twofer for White nationalists.

Trump: Geraldo is part of Rapist clan. He is also very very Gay and tried to rape me many many times.

As long as he keeps cashing his checks from Fox News Geraldo’s shame can simply fuck off.

If you care now,or ever cared about Trump,you are worthless POS and always will be.
Either come out and state you jumped on the Trump bandwagon for your own gains or shut the fuck up.

Yeah yeah yeah! FUCK Geraldo Rivera. He was not ashamed to go to Puerto Rico immediately after Hurricane Maria, hobnob with a bunch of fucking Right Wing Nuevo Partido Progresista militants and Trumpistas and then defame the entire Island Population and argue that the clusterfuck Recovery presided over by the Trump Administration was exclusively the fault of Puerto Ricans and San Juan Mayor Ortiz. Like he gives a flying fuck about the Asylum Seekers except to pretend to be a Martyr and decent human being now and then.

“these economic refugees” - while accurate in part - such a categorization really minimizes / sanitizes the situation of many who are actually fleeing for their and their children’s lives - when you are trying to escape from gangs who are trying to kill you and your family "economic refugees " is really inadequate

I see what you did there.

Though I appreciate the sentiment Geraldo, you’ve already sold your soul. I suppose there is the “visitation by three spirits” redemption option but, I’m pretty sure the good spirits are too “ashamed” of you for that to be viable.
