Geraldo Rivera Gives Trump His ‘Unequivocal’ Thoughts On ‘Horrifying’ Deportation Plan
HuffPost
The former Fox News host was asked to address his onetime friend, who has promised mass deportations of undocumented people.
Former Fox News host Geraldo Rivera on Tuesday condemned Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans as a “horror” that would “tarnish the reputation of the nation.”
On MSNBC’s “The Beat,” host Ari Melber questioned Rivera about Trump’s proposed immigration crackdown, which Rivera had repeatedly warned about prior to the election. The president-elect has said he is prepared to declare a national emergency and use military assets to enforce his mass deportation program once he takes office.
“What do you say to Donald Trump, someone who you knew for so many years tonight?” Melber asked.
“Well, I’m not sure he would take my advice on it, Ari, but let me be unequivocal about it,” Rivera said.
He described plans to send immigrants en masse to detention camps “so unpleasant that people will be dying to get out, to go home.”
