Geraldo Rivera Blasts Trump for ‘Invoking the Language of Racism’: I Hope It’s Not ‘a Glimpse at His Soul’
RUSH EXCERPT:
RIVERA: “I want to say first of all hello, to her and her in-laws, I consider it done Donald Trump a friend and it pains me for him to take the low road. It was really saddened by what he said, invoking the language of racism and xenophobia in describing these four women. I thought it was very unnecessary. He picked a fight didn’t have to. The Democrats were doing a great job at destroying themselves and being divided and he united them gratuitously. I don’t know why. I don’t know what he was thinking. It is unfortunate. He says that he didn’t mean for them to go back to some foreign land, but I read the words he spoke, and you either believe the president or your own lying it’s an embarrassment, it’s a self-inflicted injury. I’m sorry that he did it. I feel embarrassed for him and by him. When I defend him, I do so against all these gratuitous attacks in the media. He has the worst press of any president in modern history, and yet he does things like this that leaves himself open to the criticism that he is exactly what the people who hate him say he is, and I feel it’s very unfortunate, and to me it’s a tragic consequence and for the four radical Democrats to come out swinging, that’s what they do. They are fringe members of their own party, God bless them, but for the president to punch down and to unite the Democrats, it just is unnecessary, Martha.”
