Geraldo Rivera Gets the Boot from NewsNation After Kamala Harris Endorsement

In a move that has left the media world buzzing, NewsNation has decided to part ways with its resident wildcard, Geraldo Rivera, following his fiery endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. The decision comes after Rivera’s social media post went viral, in which he declared his support for Harris while blasting Donald Trump and his supporters, sparking reactions ranging from eye-rolls to full-blown meltdowns.

Geraldo, who has made a career out of finding new ways to get himself into trouble, seems to have finally crossed a line that even NewsNation wasn’t willing to tolerate. In his lengthy post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Rivera outlined why he believes Harris is the right choice for America, while accusing Trump of everything from lying about the 2020 election to ruining his Saturday brunch. The result? An impromptu exit from a network that once thought it could handle his brand of “straight talk.”

Rivera’s endorsement of Harris was not a subtle one. It started with an aggressive jab, “Sore Loser,” directed at Trump, before veering off into a nostalgic retelling of his days on The Celebrity Apprentice and how he once managed to tolerate the former president. “Back in 2016, I was shocked to see Trump even consider running,” he wrote. “I had a front-row seat on the show, and I remember thinking, ‘This guy? Really?’ And then it happened.”

For most of his diatribe, Rivera painted Trump as a conman who could charm a snake out of its skin, while Kamala Harris was portrayed as the sensible, no-nonsense leader America needs. It was the kind of monologue that might work well in a political documentary but felt entirely out of place coming from someone who was supposed to be bringing “balanced news” to a fledgling network.

“Look, we get it. Geraldo is passionate,” said an anonymous source within NewsNation. “But we’re trying to build credibility here, and having your star reporter openly campaigning for a candidate three weeks before the election? Yeah, that’s not exactly what we had in mind.”

Honestly, this isn’t even about Kamala or Trump,” said one network insider. “It’s about the fact that Geraldo took it upon himself to turn NewsNation into his own political soapbox. We’re here to report the news, not create it.”

The official statement from NewsNation was more diplomatic, but no less clear: “Geraldo Rivera’s recent comments do not reflect the views of NewsNation. While we encourage open dialogue and the expression of diverse opinions, we believe it is crucial to maintain journalistic integrity and impartiality, especially during an election period. We have therefore decided to part ways with Mr. Rivera.”
