Controversial television host Geraldo Rivera provided evidence once again vindicating Fox News for handing him his pink slip. Rivera got on social media platform X on Tuesday evening where he asked a question so ridiculously dumb if you read it, you might have lost brain cells.
The retired host wanted to know why Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents wear masks. You know, a semi-intelligent individual could fire back by asking why leftist hooligans like Antifa wear masks at their “protests?” What are they hiding?
I think we all know the obvious answer to this: their identities.
“Cops do not wear masks. They deal with the most dangerous elements in society. Why do ICE agents wear masks? What are they hiding?” Rivera said in the post. “Judges don’t wear masks. Sheriffs don’t wear masks. Marshals don’t wear masks. FBI agents don’t wear masks. Court officers don’t wear masks. Cops don’t wear masks. Only ICE agents.”
It only took minutes for Rivera to get ratioed nearly to death. Digitally speaking, of course.
A user posted a response to the host’s question that featured a screenshot of a New York Times headline that said, “10 Charged With Attempted Murder in Officer Shooting at ICE Detention Center.”
They followed up with, “Gee, I wonder why they’re protecting their identities.”
Another user on the platform pointed out that radical left-wingers are attempting to kill ICE agents and are doxxing them online, which is why they are trying to conceal their identities. By doing this, they are also providing protection for their loved ones who could become targets for these lunatics.
Someone else pointed out that when the FBI and US Marshals conduct raids, they to sport masks, thus Geraldo’s assertion that only ICE covers their faces is flat out wrong.
“Geraldo, my neighbor and good friend worked for the ATF. He was targeted by urban gang members. His house was in his wife’s maiden name, and he ALWAYS wore a mask because he would have been shot by the gang bangers otherwise. Don’t be so stupid,” Xbeeswax on X said in his reply.
Check out more from the Western Journal:
According to Fox News — Rivera’s former home network — ICE agents were targeted in two separate ambush attacks in recent days. In one case, 10 people were charged in a shooting outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, which injured one police officer. The Department of Homeland Security warned in June that assaults against ICE agents have skyrocketed 500 percent. The political climate around immigration has become so toxic that agents now operate under constant threat.
And while Rivera sits comfortably behind his phone asking dumb questions, real men and women are risking their lives trying to enforce the country’s immigration laws. The left’s open hostility toward ICE has only emboldened these threats.
“Democrats have spent years smearing agents as Nazis and concentration camp guards. Did they really think vulnerable agents would open themselves and their families up to more dangers than they already face on the job?” the report said.
Rivera just needs to fade into obscurity already and stop embarrassing himself.
