1. Wow. He said he was the 'designated pinata' of Fox news.

The Deplorables won't like this one bit.

2. Interesting that he revealed that.

3. Geraldo does this kind of thing every so many years.

I remember him literally screaming during Katrina.

4. "as the designated pinata on FoxNews"

"Excuse me, that's racist."

Der. Did Geraldo finally admit that he's a willing, well-paid useful idiot for Fox? And his co-host says that his self described label is racist?

There is a rip in the fabric of time.

6. Isn't he the one who said it????

I always thought that a racist insult is when one person insults another's race or ethnicity. Can someone insult themselves?

8. It's complicated.

It sounded to me like Geraldo was using a self-deprecating term to make a point. As if to say, I am like these people. The way you see them, you see me and now I'm letting you know that I've known all along.

11. I agree that it was charge that he was be depreceated, not that he was insulting himself.

It is not that important to haggle over. Geraldo isn't really worth the bother.

12. +1

13. I sounded to me like the co-host panicked a little.

After Geraldo called himself a pinata (instead of, say, a punching bag), I feel like the co-host could feel the incoming rant and tried to derail it with a bad joke "That's racist!" but Geraldo just kept on going.

5. Too late. You create the Frankenstein and then cry when you can't control it? You supported Trump

When he was using racist rhetoric about Mexicans being murderers and rapists and now you want to cry about the the humanity of the Fox audience. Too little too late. I'm sure many of them think these were false flag actors or Al Quaeda disguised as migrants. They don't care.

7. It's about time, Geraldo. Now he needs to immediately resign from being the token Latinx on Fox...

and tell them, trump and that Jesse Watters kiss-ass also to go fu_k themselves.

I doubt he'll do it though as he's gotten comfortable in his designated pinata role.

9. This buffoon is a buffoon.

And lose the stash, dude. It makes even you look more stupid.

10. The first time one of their own was called racist on FOX

And they single in on Geraldo! That is what happens when you collaborate with your known enemies, Mr. Pinata.
