Geraldo calls GOP concerns about Benghazi ‘insincere, desperate, bloodlust’

On Wednesday evening, Fox News host Geraldo Rivera blasted the GOP in a series of tweets. He was upset over its criticism of the Obama administration’s handling of the raid on Benghazi, Libya which resulted in the murders of four Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya.

Although he mentioned no specific names, the most vocal Republican critics have been Senators John McCain of Arizona and Leslie Graham of South Carolina, as well as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Rivera first raised his ire on Twitter by referring to Republican criticism as “bloodlust” and comparing it to U.S. Rep. Darrell Issda’s committee hearings on “Fast and Furious” and claimed that in both, “truth [is] not the goal.”

Rivera’s second tweet came five minutes later, and suggested that any thought that the four murdered Americans “could have been saved is [a] cruel myth.”

More than an hour later Rivera concluded his lambast by reminding everyone that “Life is not an action movie.”

Rivera should realize that in blasting the GOP over the Benghazi affair, he’s also blasting very respected members of his own network, including Greta Van Susteren and Brit Hume. Then again, maybe Rivera isn’t concerned about job security.

    Rivera should be fired!!!

  2. Maggie Perry says:

    As an American, I want to know why Obama stood before the United Nations and declared, six times, that the attack on our embassy was a result of a u-tube video, when he was clearly lying to the entire world and to American citizens. Obama is a useless President, in all matters foreign and domestic. Vote this useless bumb out of our White House pronto.

  3. He should be very concerned about job security. I’ve watched his show several times, lately, and he is not fair and balanced as the other news people on Fox are. I had already resolved to not tune in to his show because of his attitude with some of the other news people he works with, namely some of the same you have mentioned. Also I don’t like hosts who shout at guests they are interviewing or lose their temper on air.. I will not watch him again, on any network. I am, however a fan of Fox News and will continue to watch others because they are fair and balanced.

    I used to tolerate him but I will not watch his show any longer. Life might not be an action movie but an attempt should have been made at the very least. They waited hours and at least one rescue team was only 1 hr away. Shame shame on him

  5. Dave McCrea says:

    He has always leaned to the left, he just covers it up,

  6. Dr. Roger Harris says:

    Just because he has a podium doesn’t validate his BS. Go open Capone’s vault again, you brainless oxygen thief!
