Thread: Geraldo: Trump Border Claims ‘Proven To Be At Least Partly True’

Fox News host Geraldo Rivera says the escape of drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán from a Mexican prison proves that Donald Trump is partly correct on some of his border claims.

Geraldo, who recently almost got in a physical confrontation with a fellow Fox News host during a heated argument opposing some of Donald Trump’s illegal immigration claims, made the statement during an interview with Sean Hannity while reporting from the site of El Chapo’s prison break.

“There is no doubt that this is a country suffering from malignant corruption — corruption that goes all the way up to the top,” Geraldo said, speaking of Mexico. “This would not have been possible without the active co-conspiracy of people in power. Now the real danger to me on the border is the dysfunction of this government, the fact that it doesn’t really work anymore. I think that is a real national security threat to the United States of America.”

Geraldo then argued that El Chapo’s escape shows that Trump has been partly right in his comments about the U.S.-Mexico border.

“What Trump says about the border is, by this graphic example, proven to be at least partly true,” Geraldo said.

Though he wasn’t precise on what he thinks Trump has been proven right on, it seems Geraldo was referring to Trump’s claims about the danger of the border and the corruption of the Mexican government, not his suggestion that most of the illegal immigrants flowing into the country are drug dealers, criminals and rapists.

I think that Geraldo Rivera should be left with a small staff and no security detail in Mexico for a few weeks. Then perhaps his eyes will truly open to the dangers Americans face from rampant illegal immigration that Mr. Trump is bringing attention to!

Hmm, are we witnessing a little tap-dance action by Geraldo?
