Geraldo Rivera
Geraldo Rivera took a break from
shirtless bathroom selfies
to weigh in on Wednesday’s shooting in San Bernardino, leaving
Conservatives outraged and confused with his senseless babble. Looks
like this political pundit was drinking on the job, when he unleashed a
bevy of bizarre tweets that his political counterpart James Woods was
quick to point out.
While not being politically correct in the media is usually
something to be celebrated, this Twitter vomit Geraldo puked up is not
one of those times. Forgetting all appropriate censorship, the political
pundit seemingly took a swig of whiskey and weighed in on a massacre
from the wrong side of the party dividing line.
It starts with the commentator being confused on how to
actually spell the city in which the attack took place, then he goes
right into criticizing the Second Amendment and blaming guns, not Islam,
for Muslims killing 14 people and wounding over a dozen more. This
could be in part because he doesn’t acknowledge the attack for what it
is, much like liberals who refuse to call a spade a spade or
Syed R. Farook and his wife
Tashfeen Malik terrorists.
The journalist’s tweeting only devolved from there, making
many question if his social media account had been hacked or if this man
in his 70’s was suffering some kind of acute personality disorder. I’m
not even sure what he’s trying to say in this next tweet, but perhaps
the one that posted after sums up what he originally failed to
articulate.
Then, things got weird. In commenting on news updates he
read, sometime between what one can only assume was him guzzling some
gin and forgetting his meds, he quoted an excerpt that read, “find
locate and apprehend the suspects,” then added what, in his opinion, the
cops will do to the shooters when found, which took a peculiar turn —
“then tear out their eyeballs and take their long guns and shove them up
their asses.”
On that “informative” and “inspiring” note, Geraldo left
everyone with a call to action, while denying that this was Muslims
extremists doing the killing, which James Woods found particularly
amusing:
It’s ironic, or simply idiotic, that Geraldo has taken such a
strong stance against this attack, denying the reality of what it is
and blaming the 2nd Amendment, when just a few weeks ago, his daughter
was in Paris during the massive jihad there. He went on record at that
time, professing a different tune about terrorism, when now, he’s
denying that what happened on American soil is terrorism because he’d
rather believe that things like that can’t and won’t happen here.
It has yet to be addressed what this gross lack in judgment
and failed communication was from — whether it’s his true political
stripes showing or if he’s completely lost his mind. But regardless the
reason, had someone in that conference room been armed, there would be
fewer victims. This is a terrorism problem, not a Second Amendment
issue, except for the fact that the constitutional right was stripped
from the victims in California.
