Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera threatened an adviser to Donald Trump Wednesday over a comment the political operative made late last month.
Trump adviser Roger Stone called Ana Navarro and Roland Martin “quota hires” made by CNN on July 28. The comment later attracted some scrutiny in the press.
Ana Navarro the dumbest person on TV since CNN fired moron @rolandmartin – both quota hires #CNN

When website Mediaite tweeted a story about Martin’s response, Rivera entered the conversation.
@Mediaite @ananavarro & @rolandmartin have twice the intellect and integrity of @RogerStone. @realDonaldTrump doesn't need thugs like him.

That’s when Stone responded to the Fox News correspondent.
@GeraldoRivera is an embarrassing hack fired by FOX for his lack of ratings. Ailes kept him around long past any value. #pathetic

Rivera then fired back a tweet, threatening physical harm upon the Trump adviser.
@RogerJStoneJr when I see you around Fox News I'm going to kick your racist ass punk

Rivera also attracted attention last month after he threatened on live-televison to knock out “The Five” host Eric Bolling over a comment he made about illegal immigration.
