Geraldo Announces He’s Going On “The View” After Getting Fired From “The Five,” Quitting FNC

Former Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera was recently fired from the show on which he appeared and argued with Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters, “The Five.” After that, he decided to quit Fox News completely , deciding that he was done with the network and his disagreements with it. His longstanding feud with Greg Gutfeld also played a role in his quitting.

So, now that Geraldo is off of Fox News, he will be appearing on ABC’s “The View” as a guest. He announced as much on Twitter, “Delighted to do TheView Thursday. Wonder what they’ll ask me about.”

Though the comment was facetious and they’ll certainly ask him about his time at Fox News and why he left it, trying to get him to attack the network for its defense, at times, of President Donald Trump and for not being sufficiently committed to “our democracy,” there are a number of other things about which it could ask him to excite its woke audience.

One is his defense of affirmative action. In one of his last moments on Fox News,Geraldo defended that race-based policy and described himself as being a product of it, saying:

“I was a product of affirmative action over a half a century ago … When the Ford Foundation and Columbia Journalism School got together to integrate the local news teams in New York, there were no black reporters, no Hispanic reporters, no women.”

Continuing, he added that because that lack of diversity was “shocking,” he was chosen to be one of the diverse candidates. In his words : “And it was shocking. And that was as late as 1968, 69. So I was selected. I was making news representing a group of Puerto Rican activists, the Young Lords, who had taken over some buildings up in the Spanish Harlem. And I was their lawyer and their negotiator. And I made a lot of news as their spokesperson. And so I got discovered that way, and they drafted me through the Columbia program, and the rest is history.”

Beyond the affirmative action issue and his leaving Fox News, “The View” could ask him about his feud with FNC’s Greg Gutfeld, one of its few remaining hosts that brings in a notable number of viewers. Though Geraldo has refused to comment on his fights with Geraldo in the past, he did tell the Associated Press, “There has been a growing tension that goes beyond editorial differences and personal annoyances and gripes. It’s not worth it to me.”

Perhaps, now that he’s gone from Fox News and no longer has to argue with Gutfeld and Watters every day, he’ll get into more detail about what made his fights with Gutfeld so contentious.

However, he also might not. When leaving Fox News, he said, I love Fox and the people at Fox. I always will. I will never let anyone separate us. I am beyond grateful, I love you for it.” So he might just harbor no ill will and want to retire in peace rather than stir up a contentious fight. Time will tell.

MY DAUGHTER’S WEDDING DRESS ARRIVED COMPLETELY BLACK — BUT THAT WASN’T THE REAL DISASTER. The dress was the first thing we decided on when my daughter’s boyfriend of five years proposed. Jane had always dreamed of a custom gown, so we turned to my close friend—one of the best seamstresses in town. She spent months working on it; the intricate design made it both time-consuming and expensive. Just a few days ago, I saw it nearly finished—it was perfect! But on the wedding day, my friend arrived with a huge box. The moment I opened it, my heart nearly stopped—THE DRESS WAS COMPLETELY BLACK! Me: “God, Helen, WHAT THE HELL?!” But she remained perfectly calm. Helen (placing her hand over mine): “Honey, just trust me.” Then, gripping my shoulders, she added, “Now, take your seat at the ceremony.” My mind was spinning. Was this one of Jane’s elaborate pranks? But when the music started and she walked in, draped in black, the entire venue fell into a stunned silence. OMG. That’s when I realized what was going on. ⬇️

MY 10-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER INSISTED ON CHECKING OUR MAILBOX BY HERSELF – TODAY I CHECKED IT AND WHAT I SAW LEFT ME IN TEARS. One night after dinner, Lily, my 10-year-old, asked if she could check the mailbox. It was odd because she never cared about the mail before, but I handed her the key anyway. The next day she asked again, and then it became a daily thing. She also started acting secretive and asking weird questions. One night, when I was tucking her in, she asked, “Mom, can people talk through letters even if they don’t know each other well?” The next morning, I saw her slipping something into her backpack. When I asked, she just smiled and said it was for a school project. I couldn’t take it anymore. She was SO protective of the mailbox, calling it “a secret,” which really freaked me out. I pretended to let it go and told her to head to school. After she left, I opened the mailbox and TEARS STARTED STREAMING DOWN MY FACE as I saw a pack of letters from ⬇️

One day, she took an unusual interest in checking the mailbox, making it a daily ritual. Her mother noticed Lily becoming more introspective and protective of the…
