Rivera has long been ridiculed for his head-scratching opinions and flawed arguments but he apparently has a few curveballs left.

"Trump is popular with the everyday people. Maybe not inside the Beltway ... I'll give you that, but the everyday people."

Whatever response Geraldo Rivera thought he was going to get, it's a good chance that he wasn't expecting what actually happened.

Geraldo Rivera announced that his appearances on "The Five" had been canceled amid uncertainty at Fox News.

Geraldo Rivera hasn't exactly covered himself with glory lately when it comes to social media. This post isn't going to help.
