Geraldo Bashes ‘Friend’ Trump For ‘Intemperate, Boorish’ Slams on Omarosa: ‘Open to Ugly Connotation’

Geraldo Rivera took a swipe at his longtime pal President Donald Trump for calling Omarosa Manigault Newman a “dog.”

In a tweet posted Tuesday, the Fox News contributor slammed Trump for what he labeled “intemperate, boorish language” against Omarosa.

“Fear my friend @realDonaldTrump undermines himself by using intemperate, boorish language to describe his enemies,” Rivera wrote. “I can’t stand @OMAROSA a bully, back stabber & big mouth. But to call her a ‘dog’ & ‘low life’ is beneath dignity of the office of @POTUS & open to ugly connotation.”

Trump, earlier on Tuesday, tweeted: “When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by [Chief of Staff] General [John] Kelly for quickly firing that dog!”

UPDATE –– 2:51 pm ET: Rivera is now pushing back on another claim of hers:

@OMAROSA now alleging @realDonaldTrump used derogatory term to describe hurricane ravaged Puerto Rican’s. She was not on that trip. I was w @POTUS & @FLOTUS interviewing both & accompanying them to comfort affected. He criticized local govt but never used remotely racist language

You can imagine how I would have responded if @realDonaldTrump or anyone else used a derogatory term to describe my Puerto Rican family. It would have been ugly.
