Television personality Geraldo Rivera said Monday that he supports Vice President Harris over former President Donald Trump in the election, which is less than a month away.
“Former President Trump is so bitter that I can't trust him to respect the Constitution,” said Rivera, a former ally of the president. I wrote a long article on social platform X. “That's why I'm voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th president.”
The former Fox News personality said he has not spoken to President Trump since November 13, 2020, days after he lost the presidential election to President Biden.
“He called to get my opinion on the controversy surrounding an election that appeared to be decided by a small number of votes in several states,” Rivera added. “I asked him what he would do if the vote count remained against him. When I reported that same morning on Fox News on Friday the 13th, he said he was a reasonable man and that the time was right. He said he would do the right thing.”
He said President Trump has chosen the opposite and embarked on an “increasingly threatening campaign to discredit the 2020 election.”
According to the post, Rivera ultimately distanced himself from her because he did not support her decision. His comments echoed similar statements the former TV host made in an interview with The New York Times last year, when he said he was “kicked out” by the former president after the tensions that followed the 2020 election. There is.
Rivera, who is now a NewsNation correspondent under The Hill's parent company Nexstar Media Group, said in a Monday post that while others may still support the Republican candidate, he cannot. said.
“Maybe you're more inclined to vote for the former president because he said he'd cut taxes, build a border wall, withdraw from NATO and impose tariffs on China. Because we are,” Rivera said. “But you justify voting for Trump, and when you adopt his big lie about a stolen election, you become a liar.”
Rivera said in 2022 that he would never support President Trump again.
CNN's Chris Wallace, who previously worked at Fox News, went after his old network in a recent podcast appearance for its coverage of Trump, the 2020 election and the lawsuits he has faced since then.
“I had no problem with conservative opinions, just like liberal ones,” Wallace said. “But what I have a problem with is conspiracies and lies. The truth is non-negotiable.”
The Hill has reached out to the Trump campaign.
