Geraldo Rivera: Sen. Tester Tried To "Assassinate The Character" Of Ronny Johnson, Has To Answer For It

FOX News' Geraldo Rivera rips for Sen. Jon Tester (D-Montana) a character assassination of Admiral Ronny Jackson, President Trump's pick for administrator of the Department for Veterans Affairs. Jackson withdrew earlier this week following accusations of Jackson's past actions amplified by the Senator. The Secret Service announced today they are unable to confirm charges made by Democrats against Jackson.



President Trump tweeted this morning that Tester should resign for his "slander" of Admiral Jackson.





GERALDO RIVERA: It is shocking, it was reckless. I think Senator Tester has to answer to the voters of Montana.







ABBY HUNTSMAN: Which is down by the way you, you look at polling and he's down most recently by 18 points in the state of Montana, a state President Trump won by 20 points



RIVERA: Right so he's a Democrat in a red state. I think that the voters should take into consideration the fact that he apparently led the charge to assassinate the character of someone who has been admirable and noble in his service to his country and in his duties as the White House physician and someone very close to the president, and the nominee for the VA. It's tragic that the admiral has suffered this and his family has endured this but now I think that he has been vindicated at least so far as the Secret Service is concerned, you know, I think Senator Tester has to now justify.

Allegations made by Senator Jon Tester against Admiral/Doctor Ron Jackson are proving false. The Secret Service is unable to confirm (in fact they deny) any of the phony Democrat charges which have absolutely devastated the wonderful Jackson family. Tester should resign. The..... — Donald J.

....great people of Montana will not stand for this kind of slander when talking of a great human being. Admiral Jackson is the kind of man that those in Montana would most respect and admire, and now, for no reason whatsoever, his reputation has been shattered. Not fair, Tester! — Donald J.

Which reporter(s) amplified the false charges through uncritical reception and publishing of anon leaks pushed by Tester? They should also be named. https://t.co/M2UBxPwixf — Mollie (@MZHemingway) April 28, 2018
