Geraldo Rivera said Thursday that his appearances on Fox News’ “The Five” this week have been “canceled.”
“I’m sure there’s a good reason,” the veteran conservative commentator tweeted of his scrapped appearances from the hosting lineup on Thursday and Friday.
“Never fear, I’ll be back week after next,” he added.
Rivera hasn’t appeared on the show since April 21, according to Mediaite.
Rivera last week was one of the only Fox personalities to call out Tucker Carlson following the prime-time host’s reported firing.
“I don’t wish ill on anybody, but there is no doubt ― as I said at the time ― Tucker Carlson’s perverse January 6 conspiracy theory was ‘bullshit,’” Rivera tweeted two days after the network star’s exit was announced. “Having lost the election President Trump incited an insurrection that sought to undermine our Constitutional process.”
Greg Gutfeld, a co-host on “The Five” who has defended Carlson following his departure, replied in what appeared to be a sarcastic tone: “You’re a class act Geraldo. A real man of the people.”
On Thursday, after announcing his canceled appearances, Rivera responded to Gutfeld: “Thank you @GregGutfeld for your kind remarks.”
