Showing Original Post only (View all)Geraldo Rivera and Hannity Erupt Over Border Policy: 'When Did We Become the Party of Child Abuse?!' [View all]
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/geraldo-rivera-and-hannity-erupt-over-border-policy-when-did-we-become-the-party-of-child-abuse/Sparks flew on the set of Hannity Tuesday night as the Fox News host sparred with Geraldo Rivera over the separation of migrant families at the southern border.
Sean Hannity first said Democrats were playing politics by not taking an immigration deal from President Donald Trump, telling both sides of the aisle to fix the law and do your jobs.
Politics aside, Rivera replied, This is cruelty as policy. This is an obscenity. This is the government of the United States and the president that we both love, advocating a system by which young children are torn from their mothers.
-snip-
When did we become the party of child abuse!? Rivera said. He then pointed out that Trump implemented the zero tolerance policy that is responsible for charging border crossers and thereby sending their children to detention centers.
Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch spoke next, and after dismissing those getting hysterical about family separations, Rivera blew up.
This is not hysterical! Rivera shot back. This is child abuse! How dare you! How dare you!
-snip-
At the end of the segment, Rivera unleashed a final time on Farrell: You know just because you dont have sincere emotions, dont say I dont!

In 2005, when John Yoo said that it's okay for the US military to torture children.

Agree. Glad he spoke up. He's being condemned by Trump supporters online for doing so.
