Geraldo Rivera faced backlash on social media after he described President Donald Trump as a civil rights leader.
The Fox News personality made what he acknowledged was a divisive claim on Tuesdays broadcast of Fox & Friends , one of Trumps favorite shows, the day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Trump and his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. , earlier both drew widespread condemnation for attempting to make MLK Day all about themselves.
Because why? Rivera said. African American unemployment, lowest its ever been. Latino unemployment, lowest its ever been. This rising tide, this rising tide is lifting all boats. We should be celebrating. Instead, hes fighting this, this, you know, this cage match.
Rivera also said he felt awful for Trump for facing the Senate impeachment trial over the Ukraine scandal during his trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Critics on Twitter bashed Rivera by pointing out Trumps history of racist rhetoric and policies, including separating migrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.
