Fox News Dan Bongino and Geraldo Rivera got into it again Tuesday night. This time, Bongino accused his fellow Hannity guest of backstabbing former President Donald Trump by saying that Trump himself incited the deadly Capitol riot.
The obvious difference between the riot that happened on January 6 and the 500-odd that you correctly cite as concerning and damaging to America to our psyche, to our physical wellbeing is that this was a riot that was unleashed, incited and inspired by the president of the United States.
Host Sean Hannity interrupted, telling Rivera that was his opinion and that Trump only asked his followers to march peacefully to the Capitol after his speech that day. However, GOP Rep. Liz Cheney on Monday revealed during a House committee hearing that multiple Fox News hosts texted then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows during the riot, urging him to get Trump to intervene and stop the chaos. Rivera jumped on the opportunity to bring that up.
I beg you, Sean, to remember the frame of mind you were in when you wrote that text on January 6 and when Laura [Ingraham] did and when Brian [Kilmeade] did and when [Donald Trump Jr.] did. Remember that concern you had. Remember the frustration you had at our beloved 45th president, Rivera said.

(6,240 posts)First, I didn't watch the clip (my stomach isn't that strong), but, if the term "backstabbing" was actually used, it was bullshit. But, it probably did make a lot of Fucks News viewers indignant at what was presented as a personal attack on tfg.
And then that PoS Hannity said it was his "opinion" that blah blah blah. Again, bullshit for the Fucks audience.
I'll stop there. I'm having lunch right now.

(11,738 posts)Hannity had NO regard for the actual crime against this country for the actual crimes against the police officers, and for the intent of the mob to hunt down and kill members of Congress. Absolutely none. If you look at what Hannity and Ingraham wrote, it was about how it was going to look, how it was going to be a set back for the fascism that they had worked hard in the last decades and especially in the previous 4 years, to build.
Maybe Geraldo also knows this, but there is a naivete that he sometimes expresses, as if Hannity has any decency in him.
