Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera Lands Himself in Hot Water for Tweet About Biden: ‘You Should Be Fired!’

President Joe Biden’s decision over the weekend to visit Ukraine while ignoring Ohio residents dealing with a toxic waste disaster has been savaged by decent, politically sensible people.

The mayor of the stricken town of East Palestine on Monday took to a Fox News program to call Biden’s behavior a “slap in the face.”

A Boston Herald columnist on Tuesday called it an example of “politicians not caring about the disenfranchised.”

And then there’s Geraldo Rivera.

The Fox News contributor thought it was just great. And he’s getting scorched because of it.

Here’s Rivera’s Twitter salute to Biden on Presidents Day: “Bravo Biden stand and deliver.”

Bravo Biden stand and deliver

Leave aside the fact that Rivera apparently doesn’t know the origin of the phrase “stand and deliver.”

(Far from praise, it was used by English highway robbers in the 18th and 19th centuries to demand money from innocent travelers, basically and Old World version of “stick ’em up.” It’s easy to why “stick ’em up” has lasted longer.)

Focus on the fact that Rivera praised the president for slipping off to Europe while Americans in the heartland are confronting the kind of environmental crisis Democrats generally only fantasize about happening under Republican presidents.

And what exactly has Biden delivered? Increased U.S. tensions with Russia for little discernible purpose (the proxy war is already pretty clear on the international stage, drama isn’t improved by becoming melodrama). A photo op visit dramatized for television by ersatz air raid sirens.

That latter one fits in perfectly with Biden’s Walter Mitty memories of his own heroics, like advising Golda Meir during the Six-Day War (he didn’t, though he did meet her six years later), or getting arrested in South Africa trying to visit Nelson Mandela (he didn’t), or getting arrested marching for civil rights in the United States (he didn’t).

But it did little to…
