Conservative podcast host Dan Bongino ripped into Geraldo Rivera after a lengthy tone-deaf post praising Vice President Kamala Harris as a “warrior and a peacemaker.”
Bongino dropped Rivera on social media Monday, calling out the former Fox News political commentator for his “low IQ” and “zero grasp of the issues.”
“In all the years that I’ve been doing television commentary I’ve never had any easier time winning a debate than with this dude,” the former Secret Service agent wrote. “Low IQ, zero grasp of the issues, no ability to use reason and logic. FACT.”

Bongino was one among many reacting on X to Rivera’s screed against former President Donald Trump, a man he once called his “friend,” and his water-carrying for the Democratic presidential nominee.
“Do the right thing for yourself and your country,” Rivera began his post. “She is a warrior and a peacemaker, and I am proud heartily to endorse Kamala Harris for President, but it may not be without complications.”
He spouted off about Trump’s supposed “political retribution” if he returns to the White House, boasting that he is not afraid of the former president’s threats.
“Trump who feels he was the victim of unfair scrutiny and a weaponized deep state is more ominous. He makes it sound as if he’s going to get the Godfather’s Luca Brasi or the Proud Boys to perpetrate physical muggings. In addition to his lack of civility, racial stereotyping, and sowing division, there are many crucial reasons to choose Harris over Trump,” Rivera continued, touting the importance of the abortion issue as he has three daughters.
He blamed Trump for stripping women of “a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, the right to choose for herself to have an abortion or use birth control.”
In more of his delusional take, proving Bongino’s claim that he has “zero grasp” of issues, Rivera claimed, “’Bidenomics’ largely succeeded in wrestling down inflation.” He decided President Joe Biden has “had a pretty good presidency,” facts be damned.
“China is being confronted, so is Russia, especially in Ukraine, NATO is on sounder footing, and Israel is winning this phase of the unending Holy War,” he continued.
While he admitted the “border is the biggest mess” under the Biden-Harris regime, there are “relatively few incidents in which undocumented immigrants commit heinous crimes.”
“Donald Trump has thrived on conflict and confrontation. Kamala Harris, as president would seek to heal our divisions and celebrate our unity and patriotism,” Rivera concluded, setting the stage for incoming mockery on X.
“Peacemaker” has to be the worst gaslighting I’ve ever seen a libtard push on us. We are the closest to a nuclear war than we’ve ever been thanks to these war mongering bafoons

@GeraldoRivera is a has been that is trying to get attention, not realizing no one cares what he has to say. We don’t need or want others telling us how to vote as the Dem evil is clear for all to see.

Translation: Ignore that you can’t afford gas, food or your home. Ignore that crime is through the roof. Ignore that criminals have raped and murdered mothers and children. Ignore that we are a laughing stock on the world stage and on the verge of global war.
