Geraldo Slams ‘Full of Shit’ Bongino Over Surging Florida Covid Numbers, Demands $1,000 After Explosive On-Air Clash

After an explosive clash on Fox News Thursday night, Geraldo Rivera took his spat with Dan Bongino to Twitter, declaring the pro-Trump pundit “full of shit” regarding the Covid numbers in Florida.

During one of their regular appearances on Hannity, Rivera claimed Florida saw 17,000 new infections on Wednesday. Bongino disputed those numbers, noting he lives in Florida.

Bongino was wrong, Rivera was right.

Then this happened:

BONGINO: Geraldo, it’s not my fault you never know what you’re talking about!

RIVERA: Oh you are so full of crap! You are so full of crap!

BONGINO: It’s not my fault you never research anything before you come on the air.

RIVERA: You are so full of it! That’s why I hate coming on with you, because you are such a cheap shot artist.

Rivera went on to ask if Bongino wanted to bet $1,000 on the numbers. Bongino called him a “dunce.”

Rivera took to Twitter on Friday to confirm his numbers. “I was right,” he said, before demanding $1,000 from his Fox News colleague.

Tuesday #Florida suffered over 17,000 new Covid cases; on Wednesday another 17,000 new cases.
I was right. @dbongino-as usual-was full of shit. And he owes me a $1000. Speaking of bullshit , popular #GovRonDeSantis better stop gaslighting & pay attention to his afflicted state.

Rivera was right, we can confirm: Florida had 17,629 new Covid cases on Tuesday, and 17,757 cases on Wednesday.
