Geraldo Rivera: I dedicate my energy to ensure that Donald Trump is not reelected president ever."

Geraldo Rivera used to be close friends with Donald Trump, but the longtime Fox News personality now says he's vowed to "dedicate whatever energy I have left in the profession to ensure that he is not reelected president ever."

Rivera, who recently left Fox News after 23 years, made the remarks in a Thursday appearance on The View.

He said his statement about Trump’s responsibility for the Jan. 6 attack was “counterintuitive to the direction they [Fox] were headed,” during his time at the network, adding, “I was not going to go there.”

Rivera was fired earlier this month from “The Five,” Fox’s leading daytime talk show and the most-watched on cable. He said after he was taken off the show that he decided to quit the network.

He also took part in a number of media interviews, speaking about the circumstances of his leaving the network after more than two decades.

Rivera didn't name names, but Sara Haines pressed him later in the I dedicate  my energy  to ensure that Donald Trump is not reelected president ever interview while asking if he felt that it was unfair that he had to leave the network over one of his colleagues.

"Sure. I also thought it was very unfair that I was not judged objectively in our disputes, but rather that he was always favored. I was the one, I was suspended three times, my appearances, I had two three appearances schedule weekly then bi-weekly, then monthly, then they kind of disappeared, they were canceled in the last day right before I was supposed to go on," he added. "So, I was really ticked off."

Picking up on Rivera's pronoun usage, Behar asked, "So, it's a guy? We know that!"

Rivera confirmed. "Everything came to everything," he finished. "I'm not mad at anybody."

Mr Rivera agreed with host Sunny Hostin that Mr Trump was a “racist and a mysognist”, and said he would “dedicate whatever energy I have left in the profession to ensure that he is not reelected president ever”.
