Following her interview with Bret Baier of Fox News on Wednesday, Geraldo Rivera advised Vice President Kamala Harris to stop acting as a “doormat” in the wake of her disastrous interview with Fox News’ Brett Baier.
On Wednesday, Rivera and Sean Spicer collaborated with Dan Abrams to analyze Harris’s interview.
Despite Rivera’s public endorsement of Harris, he was primarily unimpressed by her appearance.
“I am baffled by the lack of preparation going into the highest profile interview she has,” Rivera said.
He contended that Harris’s weakest point was in relation to immigration and the southern frontier.
“For example, she knew, they knew, the Democrats knew that it was going to be all about immigration. Bret was going to come out smoking on immigration and he would culminate his lament over how awful the situation is with pictures of the victims. That’s the Republican playbook, it’s obvious that it was coming. How could she not be ready to answer Laken Riley andMollie Tibbettsand so forth?” he continued
Rivera subsequently read a statement from Laken Riley’s father, in which he denounced the political exploitation of his daughter’s death.
Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, was brutally murdered while jogging during the summer. A migrant who was undocumented was been accused of being her killer.
Rivera concluded that Harris neglected to emulate Riley’s father in his condemnation of political exploitation regarding his daughter’s death.
“Why couldn’t the vice president say these as she did that these are tragic deaths and the hearts go out and punched in the gut by it, but also say that these people or these poor victims are being used for political purposes. To me, that’s politics 101,” Rivera concluded.
