Geraldo Rivera tells Trump to stop behaving like an 'entitled frat boy' over election loss: 'Sh*t happens'

Rivera lashed out at President Donald Trump on Saturday in a tweet, criticizing his behavior ever since he lost to President-elect Joe Biden in 2020 election

Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera lashed out at President Donald Trump on Saturday in a tweet, criticizing his behavior ever since he lost to President-elect Joe Biden in 2020 election.

In this tweet, he wrote, "For almost 4 years I’ve supported @realDonaldTrump who was assailed by leftist creeps who conjured the Russia Hoax to wreck his presidency. Nevertheless, he prevailed. Sadly he lost a bitterly contested election. Sh** happens. However, since he has behaved like an entitled frat boy."

While Rivera has been a vocal Trump supporter in the past four years, unlike many other Trump supporters, he accepted Biden's victory in November, and tweeted, "Dear @realDonaldTrump-my honored friend-you fought an incredible battle vs all odds and the curse of insidious disease. You battled the back stabbers & our enemies & remade the world in peace & prosperity. You came so close. Time coming soon to say goodbye with grace & dignity."

This particular tweet received a lot of criticism as it also hinted at a tonal shift in one of the president's allies in the last four years - Fox News. Similarly, the tweet on Saturday also received major backlash. One user wrote, "And you have now revealed yourself. It's amazing to me how Trump is the great Revealer (as well as the best President!!!!)" Another follower wrote, "Come on Geraldo love you man, but you and I know both there is some serious shenanigans going on with this Election! Where is the Al Capone Vault seeker now? Are you so entrenched in the MSM & your Journalism Career that your nose has lost its scent for the truth? So many (red flags) man!"

Since November, Trump has dragged Fox News through the mud, once tweeting, "@FoxNews daytime ratings have completely collapsed. Weekend daytime even WORSE. Very sad to watch this happen, but they forgot what made them successful, what got them there. They forgot the Golden Goose. The biggest difference between the 2016 Election, and 2020, was @FoxNews!"

Unlike Rivera, majority of Trump's supporters and allies continue to refuse to accept the results despite the Electoral College vote confirming Biden's win. Trump had even launched a string of lawsuits, but a majority of them have been dismissed by the courts. Speaking about Trump's antics since Biden's victory was announced, Rivera, at an appearance on Fox News that took place earlier this month, said "the fabric of our democracy" is being damaged by Trump as he continues to drag the election. He had even called out Trump's loyal supporter Charlie Kirk for being dishonest and continuing to spread theories about voter fraud and said that William Barr, the then Attorney General, had stated on record that the Justice Department had found no proof of voter fraud which could change the results of the election. 

Rivera had then said, "For six weeks we have litigated this. For six weeks. Twice the Supreme Court of the United States have rejected it, nine to nothing, including all three Trump associate justices. You have to stop this, Enough is enough."
