Geraldo Tells ‘Fox And Friends’ That ‘Lesbian Cabal’ Has Taken Over DHS And ICE

Friday morning on Fox News’s morning show “Fox and Friends,” veteran reporter and radio host Geraldo Rivera gave voice to allegations that a “lesbian cabal” has engineered a “same sex takeover” of the Department of Homeland Security.

According to Gretchen Carlson, James Hayes, an official with the New York’s Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is suing Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano alleging that he was passed over for a promotion because he is a man. Suzanne Barr, chief of staff for ICE Director John Morton, has voluntarily stepped down as a result of charges made against her by Hayes, who claims that Barr “created a frat house-type atmosphere that is targeted to humiliate and intimidate male employees” within her department.

Hayes maintains that he was passed over for promotions in favor of less-qualified women with connections to Barr and Napolitano. Many of the women, he claims, worked for Napolitano in Arizona.

The “Fox and Friends” trio were joined by Rivera, who said, “I have a question for you. Is that really what people are saying? That men are disadvantaged and that women, specifically lesbians, are ruling the roost there?”

A lesbian cabal might be good for fighting al Qaeda. Al Quaeda oppresses women and homosexuals and I doubt very many lesbians would be interested in joining.

Somehow I wonder if Geraldo "Free Mustache Rides" Rivera has any opinion of those federal departments that are run, almost exclusively, by men. But, I guess, that's just the way it should be.

Man, did he get old, crotchety and misogynistic fast.

If a penchant for sensible shoes, easy-care haircuts and public service is what it takes to form a "lesbian cabal," lets invite them into EVERY agency!

Can't he just say women in charge without referring to their sexuality?
