NEW YORK, NY – JUNE 01: Geraldo Rivera (Credit: WireImage)
Geraldo Rivera made a huge announcement on his radio show Thursday, declaring that he is “contemplating” running for U.S. Senate in New Jersey against either Democrat Frank Lautenberg or the wildly popular Newark Mayor Cory Booker.
“Fasten your seatbelt,” Rivera said, with Judge Andrew Napolitano on the line. “I am and have been in touch with some people in the Republican Party in New Jersey. I am truly contemplating running for Senate.”
“Would you back me?” Rivera asked Napolitano.
“Absolutely. I would do everything that I could, consistent with my contract with Fox… to help you get that job,” Napolitano said. He added that Rivera is a “rare understander of the nature of human freedom and the role of government in our lives.”
“I figure, at my age, if I’m going to do it, I’ve got to do it,” he said, adding that there appears to be no Republicans stepping up to challenge Booker in 2014, should he decide to run.

Jan. 31, 2013 at 11:20pmI would watch grass grow in Alaska in February before I would watch Geraldo. Ever since he blamed Tea Party without facts for the Phoenix massacre. (notice I didn’t say shootings) Is Fox about to fire him? His ratings must be in the toilet by now.

Jan. 31, 2013 at 7:59pmGeraldo is a weasel with no credibility. He is also a shameless self promoter who will do anything to get what he wants.
To heck with the Senate. He should run for President. After all, this country elected Obama.

The great comrade Obama needs all the help he can get in furthering our great peoples republic of the United States. He will help in the disarmament of the evil white imperialists.

Jan. 31, 2013 at 6:38pmI read that Geraldo has a jewish heritage. Now he is using his Latino part, since he has supposedly changed his name, so he can play the Latino race card. He should be checked out and vetted more thoroughly because he is going to stand in the way of exposing Obama even more than he already has. He is a flunky, was a flunky and pretender, and so he shall likely remain so. This man does not like white Americans any more than does Obama. Whereever he is running they better make sure he is not running on stolen votes and they had better stop making illegals eligible to vote for Obama is surrounding himself, as well as they are surrounding and protecting him and his agenda to destroy White Americans. Geraldo is a threat to White Americans.

Jan. 31, 2013 at 6:32pmBetween Geraldo, the cave explorer bait and switcher, and Obama the illegal alien, I supposed there would be a chance, perhaps a good one of getting the vote. Geraldo is another phony from a hood environment trying to make it big on the backs of illegals.

Jan. 31, 2013 at 6:34pmThey both have attracted enough illegal voters and assisted in the invasion of Mexicans and/or any other Latinos who will fill in the gaps for a win. They are sucking our country dry.
