DNC protesters dump water on Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera as crowd chants ‘Shame!’

During a contentious interview with protesters outside the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Fox News commentator Geraldo Rivera got doused with water.

The Daily Beast’s Andrew Desiderio posted a video clip of the incident on Tuesday afternoon.

The former talk show host was hustled away by his bodyguards as the crowd chanted “Shame! Shame! Shame!”

Rivera has tangled with demonstrators before while reporting live from racially charged protests.

The longtime Fox News contributor spoke out against former Fox anchor Gretchen Carlson‘s sexual harassment suit earlier this month.

I guess water is about as harmless as it gets, though. Did you notice how much water it took to penetrate the coiffure and actually register on him? And man, did he get mad.

It is not cool to throw things, even water on anyone like that.

Contributor implies something else and Fox already admitted they are an entertainment channel.
