[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Former Fox News host's stunning condemnation of Trump goes viral as star renounces MAGA beliefs
'That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President.'
But he noted the two have not spoken since a phone call in November, 2020 - just days after Joe Biden won the election. Rivera said Trump assured him that he would recognize the electoral results, so he was disappointed when the president never did. 'As I reported on Fox News that same morning, Friday the 13th, he told me he was a reasonable man and would do the right thing if that time came,' Rivera wrote. 'It never did. Instead, President Trump embarked on an increasingly menacing campaign to discredit the 2020 election.' 'If you are a Republican, Donald Trump has made a liar of you. 'He has coaxed and intimidated tens of millions into pretending he was reelected in 2020, and that the election was stolen'. Rivera, now 81, worked for Fox from 2001 to 2023. He hosted the tabloid talk show Geraldo from 1987 to 1998. In his post, he also accused Trump of inciting a violent attack on the nation's 'center of democracy'. 'As his followers trashed that sacred space, he was on the phone urging Vice President Mike Pence essentially to overturn the will of the American people,' Rivera continued. 'Pence refused to put Trump ahead of the Constitution. Trump stabbed the Constitution in the back.' Rivera concluded that those who decide to vote for Trump because of immigration or tax reduction are 'adopting his big lie'. 'You justify voting for Trump, adopting his big lie about the stolen election makes you a liar,' he wrote. In the past, Rivera was friendly with Trump and even said that he supported the former president, while adding that he did not 'endorse him'. 'I support the president, but I don't endorse the president...he doesn't always heed my advice,' Rivera told PEOPLE in 2020, as noted by Newsweek. 'But I'm honored that the President of the United States, the most powerful person on earth, listens to a [guy] that's been knocking around television for half a century.' | |||

| #7 The fact that he called himself "Gerry" until it became cool to be a "downtrodden" minority and then morphed into a "Geraldo" says it all. |

| #6 Of course he is, he is a Diddycrat. Those pictures he took of himself in what looked like a cheap motel bathroom; don't tell me he doesn't have pervy ways. Bonus dinky dau of anyone who argues that the last four years is the right and proper timeline. |
