Geraldo Rivera Just Slammed Sean Hannity Over His Fear About The Migrant Caravan On Fox News

Geraldo Rivera Just Slammed Sean Hannity Over His Fear About The Migrant Caravan On Fox News

At this point, should we just assume that Sean Hannity is on the White House payroll?


He's ostensibly a journalist, but all he seems to ever do is regurgitate the White House's un-nuanced — and often counterfactual — talking points. And when it came to a discussion Monday night about the Central American migrant caravan presently making its way toward the United States border, his discourse was no exception.

Joined by former White House staffer Sebastian Gorka and fellow Fox News reporter Geraldo Rivera, Hannity inveighed against the migrants with the usual rhetoric about MS-13 and a supposed wave of violence headed toward our country. Also border security! And sovereignty! And other stuff!

Geraldo Rivera was having none of it. Pointing out that the migrants were "desperate to improve their lot in life" — not to commit crimes — he pointedly asked Hannity what he thinks we should do about the caravan.

"We're not going to let 'em in, Geraldo, not this way," Hannity responded. "We have a sovereignty and border issue here. We have laws."

Deep, nuanced stuff, as usual.

Underlining the lack of solution proposed by Hannity's reductive response, Rivera shot back, "What are you gonna, shoot 'em, Sean?"

That's when open nativist, Islamophobe and Steve Bannon devotee Sebastian Gorka stepped in to shame Geraldo, saying, "This is really beneath you, Geraldo." He also non-sensically likened Rivera's response to being characteristic of dictatorship. (What tossed-off rhetorical questions have to do with dictatorship is unclear.)

The encounter became more heated from there.


Of course, an uproar ensued on social media--from all sides of the issue and the political spectrum:

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
