‘I’d Knock You Out Right Now!': Fox News Hosts Nearly Come to Blows Over Immigration

[Cali_Democrat]

A Fox News debate on immigration got pretty personal and ugly today, devolving into a shouting match over who’s “exploiting” the death of Kate Steinle more.

Steinle’s death at the hands of an illegal immigrant in San Francisco has been a watershed moment for conservatives who want to crack down more on illegal immigrants, especially Donald Trump.

As Fox’s The Five discussed Trump today, Jesse Watters credited Trump for his outspokenness and called President Obama a “skinny community organizer.” Geraldo Rivera scolded him for being “disrespectful” and things went downhill from there.

Rivera insisted Trump and others are making wrong conclusions about immigrants over Steinle’s death and shouted, “You’re exploiting the misery of that family!” Watters shot back, “You’re exploring it by downplaying it!”

Eric Bolling got into the mix and told Rivera he “exploits and sensationalizes everything.” This one really set Rivera off.

“You’re lucky that you’re my friend,” he said, “I’d knock you out right now. That’s absolute BS!… What do you do? Where do you get your stuff from?”

1. Memo to Rivera: Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas

On second thought, man's best friend is far more wholesome than the crowd Geraldo has been keeping these past several years.

3. I miss the old Geraldo,the silly clown

looking for a bottle of Al Capone's booze. That Geraldo wouldn't have hung with the crowd he now embraces.

4. It's like a Jerry Springer episode

trying to masquerade as something legitimate.

5. IMO the whole thing was staged to increase ratings. nt

6. Donald Trump is an illegal immigrant?

"...has been a watershed moment for conservatives who want to crack down more on illegal immigrants, especially Donald Trump."

Who knew?

What I think they wanted to say was:
"...has been a watershed moment for conservatives, especially Donald Trump, who want to crack down more on illegal immigrants."

7. Trump is from the Andromeda Galaxy

He's for sure an illegal alien on Earth. Where is MiB when you need them.

8. GR got what he deserves

for associating himself with FOX News all these years. Now they're turning on him and think that he's too left-wing. And as far as his comment goes about knocking the dude out, let's be real here: does he really expect to beat a guy who is bigger and younger than him?

9. Late to this post...

I just saw it (still up) on HuffPo and thought it was hilarious. Especially the part where the guy (Bolling?) is telling Geraldo that he was exploiting and sensationalize things about Hispanics. And Geraldo says, I exploit and sensationalize...where do YOU get your stuff from?! He was about to get into FOX 'news' business before the other hurriedly cut them off. It all faded to black. Too funny...
