Geraldo Rivera Blames Trump for Inciting the Capitol Riots: ‘Direct Connection’ Between His Incendiary Rhetoric and the ‘Trashing of American Democracy’

By Josh FeldmanJan 12th, 2021, 2:35 pm

Geraldo Rivera continued calling out President Donald Trump Tuesday over his incitement of the violent mob at the Capitol.

Rivera has been a friend and ally of the president’s, but in the past few weeks he’s publicly said a number of times Trump needs to stop stirring up baseless claims about the election results.

On Fox News today, Rivera said that impeachment may be “more justified” now, but Democrats don’t sound “more righteous and reasonable” because they didn’t “react to the riots and the insurrections of the past summer with more verve and more honesty.” He acknowledged there’s no question “the president incited what happened” last Wednesday at the Capitol.

“Even his statement that people are angry sounded to me more threatening than it did calming,” Rivera said. “If only the Democrats had played it straight for three and a half years, maybe they would have a case that would be listened to.”
