Rivera mocked for Christie tweet

Fox News Channel personality Geraldo Rivera suggested that former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie might be “the strongest GOP alternative for” the president.

“Chris Christie could be the strongest GOP alternative for POTUS; accomplished, proud, moderate, tough,” Rivera tweeted.

Rivera was ridiculed on social media.

“I have to tell you, I find Geraldo impressive in his ability to have built quite a lucrative career by being wrong so many times…” American Majority Founder and CEO Ned Ryun tweeted.

“Time to switch to a non-hallucinogenic mustache wax dude,” someone else tweeted.

“Geraldo says dumbest things ever spat out by mankind but these have to be top 5 dumbest tweets,” someone else wrote.

Christie who served as governor of the Garden State from early 2010 to early 2018, but ultimately ran for president in 2015 fallen out in 2016.

“The next 45 to 60 days,” Christie said of when he will decide whether to throw his hat in the ring for the 2024 competition Washington Examiner reported last week. “I think running for President of the United States is a very personal decision. And that’s one that everyone who thinks about it should have the right to meet for themselves, regardless of anyone else’s thoughts on it.”

Former President Donald Trump has already announced another White House bid, as has former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and Strive author and co-founder Vivek Ramaswamy.

“With Donald Trump at the top of the ticket, you can rest assured that we’re going to have another four years of Joe Biden, and that, to me, is unacceptable for this country,” Christie said, according to the Examiner.

Last year, Rivera described then-GOP Rep Liz Cheney of Wyoming as “a one-of-a-kind stand-up hero.”

In 2021, Rivera opined that Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York “outshone every other member of Congress in eloquence and passionate sincerity.”
