Geraldo: Putin Has ‘Blood of Airline Passengers on His Hands’
The news of the downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 had barely broken when Fox’s noon panel show Outnumbered began, but #oneluckyguy Geraldo Rivera was already sure who was responsible.
“As a war correspondent, weighing all the facts as they’ve been coming in — admittedly this is my opinion opinion — I believe Vladimir Putin has the blood of these airline passengers on his hands,” Rivera said.
“The Russian leader has been supplying increasingly sophisticated weaponry to the pro-Russian anti-Ukraine activists in eastern Ukraine,” he continued. “There are reports sophisticated surface to air missiles have been spotted in that region. They is very little command and control from Russia’s point of view over those rebels in eastern Ukraine. I believe as I sit here today what happened is Russia supplied that weapon system so those rebels could shoot down Ukrainian helicopters and Ukrainian warplanes attacking them, and they saw this aircraft in the sky, these undisciplined pro-Russian Ukrainian rebels shot down the innocent passenger jet.”
“You’ve said that several times,” cohost Harris Faulkner replied.
