Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera on Monday slammed the tear gassing of migrants and asylum-seekers at the border.

“Fulfilling my role as the designated piñata on Fox News,” he said on “The Five,” “I want to say I am ashamed. This tear gas choked me. We treat these people, these economic refugees, as if they are zombies from ‘The Walking Dead.’”

“These are not invaders,” he added. “Stop using these military analogies. This is absolutely painful to watch. We are a nation of immigrants. These are desperate people.”

“For goodness’ sake, we suspend our humanity when it comes to this issue, and I fear that it is because they look different than the mainstream.”

The comments echoed a tweet from earlier Monday:

The gassing of #MigrantCaravan made me nauseous. Those images may play w the base, but they will also be a scar on our nation's reputation. A hungry, frightened family will not stop trying to get to a better life. No, we can't accommodate all, but we can be humane & compassionate — Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) November 26, 2018
