Geraldo Rivera apologizes to Trump, says he doesn't actually have 'embarrassing' Trump tapes

Geraldo Rivera reversed course early Wednesday morning, saying that he does not actually have additional tapes of Donald Trump making troublesome statements.

The Fox News personality apologized to Trump on Twitter for claiming earlier this week that he had unreleased videos of the Republican presidential nominee making comments that "would be embarrassing."

In fact, Rivera said, all he had were tapes of Trump's comments about comedian Rosie O'Donnell, whom Trump has called "fat," a "pig," and a "loser."

Contrary to my on-air remarks- a search of my files found No Relevant #TrumpTapes. There is 1 re: ugly feud w Rosie O'Donnell, an old story.  Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) October 12, 2016

I apologize to @realDonaldTrump for piling on & adding fuel to #TrumpTapes scandal. You always treated me and mine w respect & friendship.  Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) October 12, 2016

Uh, Revolto has apologized to Trump.........Trump has apologized to the American people for his rude remarks....so why is Trump’s apology not sincere enough? I’ll bet Revolto’s apology will be accepted with no questions!

"Whoopee, who I deplore, whipped her mean fat a$$ off of the show." I don't get Whoopee. When she's not on the View, she has made some cogent remarks about the state of decline in the US that I've agreed with. I think she wants to be more moderate than Hollywood will allow.

I hear ya. The only reason I watch it is because it’s on at the fast food place where I have breakfast.

Geraldo has balls but no common sense - perhaps, in his case, they’re connected.

Good point. Yes, I have noticed that too. Lots of times when diehard leftists get a little more mature, some truth leaks out of them.



Mr. Rivera, you lied on air in an attempt to change the outcome of an election. The FEC may pull our FCC license over this. Because of your threat to the livelihood of this network, sir, you ARE FIRED.



To: A Navy Vet

I didn’t realize Ray Nagin was in jail. Good news. Good place for him.

Translation: “I saw the incriminating tapes of me that you sent and realize that I could end up in jail or dead if they’re released. Please accept my apology.”

I suspect the whole reason Whorealdo announced in advance he had tapes and that he and his brother were going through them was to gain something, a payoff of some kind. Looks like he got it.

Now, see, the old Donald would tweet out something about how he called Jerry and straightened him out, and how if he told Jerry to drop down on his knees in front of him, he’d drop right down. The Presidential Donald will probably rise above that. But I think it’s going to be a combination of Good Don/Bad Don for the next four years.

So, Rivera backtracking and essentially complimenting, Trump. &&&

Let’ see the big mouth jerk apologize on TV. Bet he doesn’t. I don’t watch FAUX News any more, although I was once quite a fan, so I won’t see it. The husband DVRs and watches some stuff, so perhaps he can tell me if Jerry Rivers actually apologizes on air.

In fact, Rivera said, all he had were tapes of Trumps comments about comedian Rosie ODonnell, whom Trump has called fat, a pig, and a loser. Who has a collection of other people’s embarrassing video tapes? It seems to me that Geraldo has put together his own little collection of Black Mail tapes and/or Gotcha tapes. Anyone that has any connection to Geraldo should watch their backs. You can treat him with “respect & friendship” and he will rip you a new one if he gets the chance. IOW if he had searched his files and found something that would hurt Trump he would not have hesitated to use it. But, “I apologize to @realDonaldTrump for piling on & adding fuel to #TrumpTapes scandal” since I did not have them. So much for giving “respect & friendship”. Right Geraldo?

FU Jerry Rivers!

Hey, geraldo...you are such an uber-loser, political hack, liar and no talent degenerate. Post another picture of you nude, loser. I laugh at your existence.
