Fox News host Geraldo Rivera responded to rumors on Twitter Wednesday that he would no longer appear as a panelist on “The Five.” The 79-year-old said he would indeed be back on the show next week and has been away from…
“I don’t wish ill on anybody, but there is no doubt-as I said at the time-👤Tucker Carlson’s perverse January 6 conspiracy theory was ‘bullshit,’” Rivera tweeted.
“He added, “Having lost the election President Trump incited an insurrection that sought to undermine our Constitutional process.”
The tweet drew a response from Greg Gutfeld, who is a permanent panelist on “The Five.”
“You’re a class act Geraldo,” Gutfeld responded. “A real man of the people.”
Rivera will return to the network following reports of a major shakeup in primetime.
Sean Hannity will move into Carlson’s old time slot as the comparateively lower-rated “📺Fox News Tonight” will be dropped from the lineup.
Meanwhile, Jesse Watters and Gutfeld will each reportedly move into the network’s prime-time lineup as well.
It is not clear what will become of Laura Ingraham’s “The Ingraham Angle.”
UPDATE, May 18, 2023:In an email to The Western Journal after this article’s publication, a 📺Fox News representative said, “No decision has been made on a new primetime line-up and there are multiple scenarios under consideration. Reports based on various tweets by left wing activists are wildly inaccurate — Laura Ingraham, the top-rated woman in cable news, is now and will continue to be a prominent host and integral part of the 📺Fox News lineup.”
