Ohio's @TimRyan speaks the truth re healthcare. Union workers have that one thing-good healthcare-Trying to tell stressed blue collar folk that they should give up their union healthcare-for the good of the nation-is silly and sophomoric — PolitiTweet.org

As Democrats fight for who is in favor of the most liberal health care system, Republicans deride them for their wanton, unpaid for generosity. Predict GOP harping on benefits for undocumented immigrants will cost Dems in the #RustBelt. Compassion for me, not for thee. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisCuomo should run for President. He’s at least as good as half the announced candidates — PolitiTweet.org

My beef w @realDonaldTrump re #Baltimore is failure to distinguish between the city’s rodents & rats & its residents. He has a great message for urban America 1-enterprise zones 2-criminal justice reform & end mass incarceration 3-rising economic tide lifting all boats 1 Nation — PolitiTweet.org

Given that the majority of Democrats are people of color, it was a little weird seeing the lack of diversity on stage tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

Frank’s also a tough ass, who fought & beat me fair & square in a Stern-sponsored three-rounder for the ages. Happy birthday brother — PolitiTweet.org

@dbongino is a great sparring mate, informed & passionate. Pal @seanhannity is the 2d most powerful person in the country. The issues are important and there’s a lot at stake — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

There’s a new paradigm in law enforcement, now maniacs routinely target large numbers of innocents w assault weapons. Unlike Parkland Fla. cops must do what they did in Gilroy Ca. Engage shooter immediately regardless of imbalance of weapons. Bravo Gilroy Plus, is POTUS a racist? — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Like my beloved #PuertoRico it cannot be seriously argued that #Baltimore is not a fiscal mess. One reason all those derelict, abandoned buildings are left standing is the city carries their unpaid real estate taxes as assets -accounts receivable-to back their bond borrowing. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

I've known both @realDonaldTrump & @RevAl for decades, and I don't think either man is a racist. Both are consistently underrated and represent large constituencies. Both-but especially @POTUS must take care to enlighten not inflame. He needs more minorities in the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Politicians of color are not immune from criticism by @realDonaldTrump. #TheSquad does have far out ideas. @RepCummings District is in tough shape. It's just that when so many are targeted at the same time, it begins to look like a theme-a concerted effort-to make race the issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

We would all be better off-if-in discussing race relations- @realDonaldTrump emphasized the positive-like his support for economic opportunity zones and criminal justice reform to battle mass incarceration. It's just weird to squabble with so many people of color at the same time — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

@realDonaldTrump has some African American allies-and he has the right to criticize #TheSquad & @RepCummings & @TheRevAl. But focusing on race is usually not helpful-absent some positive suggestion to heal divisions-Race already plays too big a role in American politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Don’t like this racial stuff-everybody should just cool it — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

So different from the Parkland response in Florida. Unless and until society accepts meaningful gun control, Good guys with guns must confront and kill, if necessary, bad guys with guns. Courage in the face of malice and cruelty — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Deeply impressed by response of uniformed first responders in #GilroyActiveShooter mass murder. They engaged suspect in less than a minute-definitely saving many lives. We should all look to #Gilroy to learn how to respond to epidemic of mass shooters. Proud of every one of them. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

@realDonaldTrump has been following crisis in #Baltimore at least since the riots that followed #FreddieGray death in police custody in April 2015. He called me-morning after my initial coverage-to express dismay over conditions in the beleaguered city. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Like @realDonaldTrump I've known @TheRevAl for decades. Like @POTUS, Al is often underrated. Both native New Yorkers are accomplished & competent & should take this opportunity to be on the same side when it comes to healing urban America. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

@realDonaldTrump should defy expectations & announce a massive local, state, federal effort to undo urban blight afflicting too many American cities, incl #Baltimore. Maybe this is an opportunity to do the right thing for all & stop the mutual insults especially the racial stuff — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

2 things are happening re #Baltimore. 1-is the indisputable wreck of city's west side, especially since #FreddieGray riots of 2015. 342 murders in city that year. 56 per 100,000=highest in nation. Acres of urban blight. 2-@realDonaldTrump should lay off racially charged insults. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

#PuertoRico must be allowed to default on its crushing bond debt. Immoral illegal means were used to ensnare the island in malignant debt. The average Puerto Rican person got zero in return for this mortgaging of their children’s future. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Stateside Liberals were only interested in #PuertoRico when it could be used to bludgeon @realDonaldTrump because of botched hurricane relief-Nobody listened when I preached about endemic, crippling corruption & criminal ineptitude-There’ll be many more indictments& resignations — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

This is another example of @POTUS fighting back more harshly than the situation requires. He’s right on the issue but could have found a more elegant way of expressing it. Deference and grace are as important as strength & courage — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

@realDonaldTrump hurts feelings w angry bluster, ex: his attack on well-regarded #RepElijahCummings Harshness aside, since #FreddieGrayRiots #WestBaltimore is a wrecked city w acres of burned out, boarded up townhouses, rampant drug trafficking & out of control murders. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

@realDonaldTrump is more welcome in my old hood than @NYCMayor deblasio — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

#PuertoRico is beloved, but also bankrupt-owing $75 Billion to creditors who recklessly & irresponsibly piled on debt used by corrupt politicians w criminal intent. Bonds should be wiped out by the court. Those lenders knew or should have known Commonwealth had no way to repay. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

I've attended the funerals of too many cops killed in the line of duty to tolerate cops being attacked and humiliated by punks. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Growing up in&around NY cops were revered-except maybe 60's when all authority figures were suspect. By 80's/90's & especially after 9/11 cops regained stature as #ThinBlueLine vs anarchy & crime-Disrespect now is dangerous & unsettling #NYPD protects & serves & deserves better. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Which way #PuertoRico? Resignation of gov #RicardoRosello led some-like @AOC-to promote independence for American colony. Highly unpopular, independence would be a disaster for the poor-especially those who depend on fed programs like food stamps to survive. PR deserves Statehood — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Hard to accept that our children could sink to this depraved indifference to human life, really shocking and sad. What motivates a kid to do this to a stranger? — PolitiTweet.org
