Geraldo says Cruz comment was anti Semitic

Geraldo says Cruz’s “New York values” comment was anti-Semitic. Geraldo Rivera: the gold standard of media stupidity.

  • I was listening to Sirius/XM today and one person called in that was known to the host. This particular caller is an Orthodox Jew, and a Cruz supporter. He told a couple of stories about Cruz, and how he not only isn't anti-Semitic, but he has participated in many Jewish functions. What is really funny about this is, Cruz is well versed on Jewish traditions. Seems that he went to a school that taught Christian and Jewish history.
    Geraldo is a complete ass, and whenever he comes on TV, I change the channel.

    • American evangelicals as a whole tend to support Israel more than American Jews support Israel.

      • I think that most (it should be all) Christians support Israel. The knowledge that the Lord Jesus Christ was (is?) Jewish (during His time on Earth at least), makes it hard to be hating on Israel and Jews. With the whole being grafted into the olive oil thing and Abraham (the First Jew) being our father (so to speak), the First Testament being a base of our lives as Christians... etc... etc... etc... it is difficult to have a reasonable stance against the Jewish people and Israel.

        There are bad Jews and good Jews just like every other group of people, but a general hatred of Jews is not acceptable for someone that claims to love Christ. IMHO

  • Jerry has no f**&^ing clue. He has ranted about Jewish individuals in the past. He is nothing but a blow hard SoB that attempted to give away military movements. He needs to go and see if Jimmy Hoffa can be found in Al Capone vault.

  • But attacks against the "1%" aren't anti-semitic? Banker is just code for Jew, and these useful idiots don't see that....

  • Yeah I am not sure how he got that. I don't know Cruz, but I don't even think he even thought of anything remotely close to that. I certainly didn't. Jews don't particularly make up the majority of New York state nor city... me thinks that Geraldo is actually the racist and anti semite here to essentially state that Jews "own" New York state and city and are the shot callers... Isn't that essentially what Mel Gibson stated? (not about NY in particular in his case).

  • Now we know who to support. Anyone Jerry Rivers bad mouths is worth looking at, anyone he supports needs to be done away with.

    • Barely. He looked like the Walking Dead during his short sojourn at the dancing show. Boy was stiff...
