now, the narrative is that even Nancy Pelosi thinks he is entirely innocent.

Is that true? Nope, but the truth doesn't matter in our world at this point.

is misguided, at best.

Next, you'll be using Rudy's statements are "proof" of whatever point you think you're making.

of which Rivera is one, are using this to convince low information people that Nancy Pelosi said he is utterly innocent and thus will not be impeached.

This shores up his support among those who aren't particularly engaged in politics. All they hear is "Democrats think he's innocent".

This is why it is good not to give them ammunition to do this. But, hey, if you think that no one on that side will listen to this narrative, go for it.

If you can't be bothered to listen to or read what she actually said, then I can't help you. She quite clearly said that there's no point until compelling, overwhelming evidence is available. She's right.

Regardless of what she said or how she said it, the response on the right would have been the same.

"But, Geraldo said" is not a valid argument. It's nonsense.

Geraldo and Ralph Nader were outstanding figures at one time from what I read, but not they are nothing but shadows standing in the way of progress.

because he’s doing such a good job. You can’t impeach someone who is doing a good job.

Now the “exonerated” meme. LOL

charging him with espionage. Geraldo Rivera will host the tell all special live broadcast documenting the true tale of "The Spy in the Oval Office", airing 9pm on Fox channels everywhere.
