While Laura Ingraham is taking an unexpected break from her Fox News show this week, and anti-gun activist David Hogg is taking a victory lap over his boycott of her program, one Fox host is sending mixed messages about her future.
Geraldo Rivera, the Fox personality infamous for botching his Al Capone vault special, initially sided with Hogg in the spat. According to the Daily Mail, Rivera criticized Ingraham during an interview about a new book. From the report:
He first slammed the embattled Ingragam came while speaking with TheWrap on Monday at a launch for his book ‘The Geraldo Show,’ at Del Frisco’s in New York City.
‘What she did was terrible,’ he said. ‘What she said was just indefensible.’
The 74-year-old Rivera continued, sharing concerns on how ‘The Ingraham Angle’ would cope after 18 companies pulled ads from the show.
‘I don’t know’ about Ingraham’s fate at the channel. It’s not going to be an easy road,’ he added.
Rivera didn’t stop there. He also blasted the ongoing boycott of Ingraham’s show, saying, ‘I detest secondary boycotts. I think they’re anti-democratic. They are a threat to the First Amendment.”
Well, it seems that qualification wasn’t enough and that someone at Fox may have talked to Rivera about his comments. It turns out speculating about the future of a colleague is a no-no.
Yesterday, Rivera walked back his remarks. On Twitter he posted the following:
Media missed my point, while I disagree with Laura Ingraham @IngrahamAngle on this issue, I’m glad she apologized & I’m even happier that she will be back on Monday. These political boycotts need to stop. They are an attack on the 1st Amendment & an infringement of free speech.
— Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) April 3, 2018
So, Rivera not only questioned Ingraham’s future at Fox News, but he is now saying she’ll be back on Monday.
I guess we’ll have to see what happens next Monday. Will Ingraham return?

UPDATE:
A FOX News Spokesperson reached out to The Political Insider with a statement:
“Geraldo is out of the loop on this issue and speaks for no one but himself.”
Rivera is a “token” fair and balanced talking opinion head. The CO of Fox News has already stated Laura will be resuming her show as soon as her break is over. Rivera throws a bone to the Republican side on rare occasion in order for the talk show hosts to invite him on their show. When he has something to say it is generally a good time for the viewer to take a quick break,

gerry rivers has been, is and always will be a pedant, moron douche bag. He would be better off in a far-eastern country where no one would care, understand, see or hear his rank demagoguery.
Geraldo is now and always has been a left wing bleeding heart beotch! He tries to hide it, but when it comes down to it he shows his true colors!!

The problem with that idiot lefty, Geraldo, is that he is so jealous of Laura getting her own show, that she so richly deserves, that he can’t help saying something about her!!! You notice that Geraldo doesn’t have his own show and for good reason. He has a big mouth that has nothing newsworthy to say. He always spouts off trying to use all his fancy words to make his point and still never has anything interesting to say. Laura on the other hand has so much class and she is smart and always interesting to listen too. Those ignorant weak advertisers will pay a price for their stupidity in letting the left make decisions for them. A lot of us are making sure that each one of them who didn’t stand up for Laura are well known to everyone we can reach. Laura will be back on Monday, thank goodness. Her show is top of the line!!! When Geraldo comes on, for what ever reason, we all turn the channel till he’s off again. Don’t know why Fox doesn’t get rid of him. He’s unbearable, along with Juan Williams and that commie, Sheppie Poo Smith!!
Yes, Laura runs rings around Geraldo, who seldom hits the right point. He likes to disagree and make his own arguments, but quite often misses the mark. It is time that he retire and seldom does he add to any of the discussions in which he participates.

Too bad the guy with the “chair” did not hit him harder!

Yep ! Wish Fox would throw Rivera out… I get so sick of that Pompous Ass!

Rivera and Hogg both are brainless jackasses.
Geraldo is a big mouth liberal who needs to go away and keep quiet for a change.

Oh, so the little TWERP hogg, can say what he wants, but LAURA can’t? SMFH!

Somebody knock the sh^t out of Geraldo. He is being a TOTAL IDIOT when he attacks Laura Ingraham. Maybe he needs to LEAVE FOX. He is a laughing stock and is need of a big ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT…I VOLUNTEER TO GIVE HIM HIS ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT FOR FREE! It will take him a few days before he wakes up and a week or so to be able to open his seriously swollen eyes and even more time to recover from an a**kickin!
Let me get this straight. David was accepted to the colleges?

Geraldo is nothing more than a big bag of stale, farty wind. I watched him spout off last night on Hannity, when he tried to run his mouth..He has had no credibility ever since he tried to find Al Capone’s vault, then he popped up in the mideast during Desert Storm…he got run out of there for leaking classified material…now he’s on Fox..what a shame..Hannity could have had a better person on the panel, and people could have ACTUALLY LEARNED something other than the Dimbocrap trash that has been debunked several times now. If FOX would send him back to the mideast..maybe Palestine? to report on Abbas, that would be a good thing…
I have the negative impression that Geraldo Rivera is always “out of the loop”. Talk about a self-aggrandizing boor and poseur! This jerk once boasted about having the best sex of his life with the terminally ill Jacob Javits’ wife Marian in the bathroom of the Javits’ New York home while visiting there. Why does anyone still take him seriously? Oh, right! It was “just sex”. ROFL!
If Geraldo want them in America so bad will he be willing to house them,feed and pay for their medical etc. If not he needs to keep his mouth shut.

What a guy, been married five(5) times, which is understandable.Phony Latino. But he has a great nose/mustache combo, don’t you think?
I support Laura 100% and despise Geraldo Rivera! When the DCAP (demoncrap/communist/atheist party) gets done with this little twit, they will discard him like a banana peel! They used and discarded Cindy Sheehan, Sandra Fluke and dozens of other! Poor little misguided Hogg!

Rivera is a liberal from the word go. He has always a big mouth. I turn the time when he is on. Never did like to look at him or hear him.
These companies will pay a huge price because Trump owns this country now and far far more love him than hate him .
Trump nation needs to NEVER patronize any company that falls to libtard pressure.

Who cares what he thinks I watch what I want. Maybe he should leave.
If anyone needs to go it is Geraldo !! why Fox keeps him is a mystery…no one likes him…his opinion amounts to a Donut Hole !! Laura only repeated what this Bully had said…if the press would stop giving him media attention he would go away…

Geraldo (Jerry Rivers) is, and always has been pretending (weakly) to be something he is not. He says he’s a “Republican”. He’s a bleeding heart lib from the jump! He says he’s a friend of President Trump. OK, they know each other, but certainly not philosophically aligned on many Conservative principles. Geraldo is your classic “hybrid” person, and Hybrids don’t work in real life. Tough to be “kinda pregnant”, or “gender-neutral”. A wishful fantasy..
I have ALWAYS despised this mexican whose opinion doesn’t mean DO DO!! Who cares what he thinks about anything?!
Hodoe Rivera, is a pompous 4ss. He acts like a fish out of water. As in flip & flop.
Heraldo should not be on the Fox show-he flip flops on topics.he is not consistent . Plus his big mouth gave away the position of our troops in the Middle East. Plus he was also a sex offender to Bette Midler. Fox new would be wise to get rid of him.
Just another NON-STORY. Geraldo just needs some attention.

I put my opinion on Facebook also. Gerald is not a judge and jury. Laura is not guilty of anything wrong. She was only stating what Hogg had already said in public. Basically, he was out to get her fired….but she apologized (even though not wrong). Hogg is a jerk, self appointed representative of youth. He is not a good one. On a campaign to ruin people and their jobs. Doesn’t tell truth.
She should sue him for damaging her reputation, defamation of character and for causing her sponsors to drop out. (That is a way to get one fired, that is Hogg’s way). He should be stopped.in his tracks.

I have never liked Geraldo. Why Fox pays this man is a joke.
How are the sponsors who deserted Laura going to survive once the boycott of their companies starts to take effect? As a Veteran, I’m making sure that every one of the 30 million Veterans knows about these companies, through the VA, American Legion, VFW and other companies. I hope they go bankrupt.

Rivera is so strange.
Will this comment get me banned?
Jerry Rivers (his real name) comes off as a democrap to me. The vets around me (DAV etc) will hear too if they haven’t already. According to Time Magazine, as of Friday afternoon, these companies are: Atlantis Bahamas, Expedia, Hulu, Jenny Craig, Johnson & Johnson, Liberty Mutual, Nestle, Nutrish, Stitch Fix, TripAdvisor, and Wayfair. There are a few that are snowflakes, but none can really afford to get the same treatment the NFL did. Just one combat vets opinion. Hogg is from Calif., graduated high school in 2015, a wannabe actor. Met with Soros and the rest is self-explanatory, except maybe his Dad being ex-fbi nah too coincidental.

Geraldo Rivera, does an excellent job of presenting his style of opinions. In spite of his typical swinging between two sides of a story, occasionally, an element of his comments is somewhat accurate. Occasionally.
You go girl!
It was a pre-planned Easter vacation. It would have still happened without the abandonment of the incredibly cowardly sponsors. I guess even today Geraldo can’t resist the urge to glean some liberal style points.
