In a fiery response, former Fox News host Geraldo Rivera condemned the toxic rhetoric and outrageous attack on Hispanic voters spewed at a Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally. Rivera, a former ally of Trump, is now fervently urging Latino voters to rally behind Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

The rally, hosted by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, opened with despicable jokes about Puerto Rico, dismissively branding it as “a floating island of garbage.” The comments were so offensive that even Trump’s campaign scrambled to disavow them, claiming they do not reflect the former president’s views.

The backlash was swift and fierce, but it was Rivera’s response that truly ignited the conversation. Once a Trump supporter, he took to social media with unfiltered anger, declaring: “Fuck these racists!” He called on “Latino men of good will” to take pride in their heritage and warned: “A vote for Trump is a vote against self-respect.”

Earlier this month, Rivera publicly shifted his allegiance to Vice President Harris, branding Trump a “sore loser” unfit to protect the Constitution. On MSNBC, he expressed regret over his previous support, admitting he wished he had “bailed on the Trump train a lot sooner.”

As Rivera dismantles the hateful narrative propagated by Trump’s inner circle, he underscores a crucial message: Latino voters must reject the vitriol of the past and reclaim their dignity at the ballot box.
