Does Ghislaine have something on Geraldo?





Geraldo Rivera
@GeraldoRivera

When asked @realDonaldTrump said he wished #GhislaineMaxwellArrested well. With media mob eager to see her lynched it was brave to weigh in. Fact: cases vs her are for crimes allegedly committed more than 25 years ago. She deserved bail & got solitary confinement: woke politics.

That's amazing. However, now that I think about it, it's not amazing.

That's why the talking points about political correctness and woke politics and cancel culture were created: to defend evil people.

I'd laugh my ass off if Trump was able to turn Epstein into a politically divisive wedge issue like masks.

Nothing could ruin the GOP and Fox News faster than both organizations trying to find ways to make their followers pro-Epstein.

attention-generating positions? (Like Trump.) I wouldn't bet a dime she didn't have something on him. (Like Trump?)

But also, he's one of those talented but self-damaging bad characters, subgroup of those who manage to hang on instead of disappearing. (Like Trump.) This may be just him doing whatever kicks his can a bit farther down the road. (Like Trump.)

Are they really going with the “she was just a kid” defense?

So, we’re supposed to just let her go, because she’s only been abusing actual CHILDREN for 25 years?

Piss off, abuse enabler!

Something like that, Gerald?

He lived in the building next to mine in NYC in the early 80's. We often ran into him at the corner deli. He is the type of person who gives NYers a bad name and to top it off the man doesn't bathe. I'm thinking the only way this dude ever got laid was by paying for it. And nope, I wouldn't put it past him to abuse children. I think we all know she is a dead (wo) man walking.
