Geraldo Rivera Just Said What We're All Thinking About Fox News' Coverage of the Migrant Caravan, and He Said It Live on Fox News

Whoa.

After U.S. border agents deployed tear gas against migrants seeking asylum in the United States, Geraldo Rivera went on Fox News on Monday to speak some truth about the propagandistic way in which the network has covered the migrant caravan.

Rivera said the refugee crisis in Central America is not a "media issue" that "goes to my soul."


He spoke passionately, saying:

"Filling my role as the designated pinata on Fox news, I am ashamed," Rivera said, which was followed by someone in the studio saying "that's racist."

Rivera:

"this tear gas choked me. We treat these economic refugees as if they're zombies from The Walking Dead...We have to deal with this problem humanely and with compassion. These are not invaders. Stop using these military analogies. This is absolutely painful to watch. We are a nation of immigrants. These are desperate people. They walked 2,000 miles, why, because they want to rape your daughter or steal your lunch?"

A choked-up Rivera continued:

"No! because they want a job. They want to fill the millions of unfilled jobs we have in the agricultural sector. They want to wash dishes in restaurants, they want to deliver pizzas."

Rivera, shaken, concluded with a dire warning:

"How can we suspend our humanity with this issue?" he asked. "I fear it is because they look different than us."

Watch the clip below:

Rivera's impassioned statement echoed a tweet he posted Monday morning.

"The gassing of made me nauseous," wrote Rivera. "Those images may play with the base, but they will also be a scar on our nation's reputation. A hungry, frightened family will not stop trying to get to a better life. No, we can't accommodate all, but we can be humane & compassionate."

The tea — it was scalding.

Twitter cheered in solidarity with Rivera.

The "that's racist" quip did not go unnoticed on social media, although Rivera ignored it.

President Donald Trump's decision to make it nearly impossible for Central American refugees to seek asylum in the United States was not lost on anyone either.

We are a nation built on immigration.

Over Thanksgiving weekend, American Border Patrol agents fired canisters of tear gas — a chemical weapon banned in warfare — on migrants seeking asylum in the United States.

“Children screamed and coughed,” the Associated Press wrote as events unfurled in Tijuana, Mexico. “Fumes were carried by the wind toward people who were hundreds of feet away.”

The gas was employed after “around 500” refugees tried to squeeze through border fencing.

On Monday, Trump and Border Patrol defended his decision to use tear gas on unarmed civilians on foreign soil.

The president said agents “had to use (force) because they were being rushed by some very tough people and they used tear gas.”

Trump added: “Here’s the bottom line, nobody’s coming into our country unless they’re coming legally.”

CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan also stood by his agency’s actions.

[CBP] effectively managed an extremely dangerous situation involving over 1,000 individuals who sought to enter the US unlawfully in large groups,” said McAleenan. “They did so safely and without any reported serious injuries on either side of the border.”

This statement, however, contradicts reports of people, including children and babies, coughing from exposure to the tear gas.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
