On Sunday evening, conservative Fox News commentator Geraldo Rivera conceded that there are "reasons to vote against" President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, but that he'd blame "Republican traitors" if Trump loses in November.

He followed the tweet by targeting Republican strategist Steve Schmidt, Republican political analyst Bill Kristol, and Republican lawyer George Conway—the three founders of the most visible anti-Trump Republican coalition, The Lincoln Project.


Rivera asked the men what they stood for beyond a "favorable mention" from the New York Times.

They didn't mince words in their response.



The Lincoln Project is highly active on Twitter, frequently responding to the President's erratic tweets with comical GIFs and memes.

The political action committee's official account quickly began mocking Rivera as well.


Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway—who is also the husband of presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway—didn't respond to the tweet directly, but he and Rivera have exchanged barbs on Twitter before.

Rivera called Conway a "punk" who was "rooting for the f***ing virus" after Conway tweeted against Trump's response to the pandemic that's killed over 160 thousand Americans. Conway responded that it was "better to be a punk than a hack."

The men behind the Lincoln Project weren't the only ones to answer Rivera's question.








The focus soon turned to assertions about what Rivera stood for.



Rivera hasn't responded to any of the men to whom he posed the question.

AG Pam Bondi's Brother Blames 'Rabid Partisans' After Getting Absolutely Walloped In DC Election

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has often bragged about his overwhelming victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming he won by a landslide. But while he did manage to finally win a popular vote in 2024, something he lost in 2016 and 2020, it was hardly a landslide.

About 90 million eligible, registered voters didn't bother to vote at all in 2024, while Trump garnered only ~77 million votes, VP Harris received about ~75 million—a difference of only ~2 million which is less than the population of Trump's hometown of Queens, New York City.

Kristi Noem's Past Views On National Guard Come Back To Bite Her After She Backs Trump Amid LA Protests

California Governor Gavin Newsom called out the hypocrisy of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after sharing a clip from last year showing she'd once criticized the Biden administration for considering deploying the National Guard when Democrats suggested it as a response to Texas' immigration crackdown at the time.

That's noteworthy because Noem has made an about-face, defending President Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests in response to his administration's immigration raids by claiming he'd taken this drastic step "for the safety of this community ... to keep peace."
