When the gang on Fox & Friends ripped into President Barack Obama following the attack on the U.S. outpost at Benghazi, Libya, Geraldo Rivera was the only one to defend the president, recalls a new book by Jonathan Alter called The Center Holds: Obama and His Enemies, previewed in the New York Times. “After the argument continued for several minutes, Ailes called the control room and told the producers to cut Rivera’s mic,” Alter wrote. Sounds in keeping with character.
Update: Geraldo denied the report this morning in a tweet.
