While Sean Hannity continues to have his lips firmly planted on Donald Trump’s ass, Geraldo Rivera has removed his.

Rivera is no longer relevant, but he got a cold dose of reality, when Trump started making what some belive to be racist comments.

Rivera finally took a few steps back from Trump, saying, “As much as I have denied it and averted my eyes from it, this latest incident made it impossible. My friendship with the president has cost me friendships, it has cost me schisms in the family, my wife and I are constantly at odds about the president. I do insist that he's been treated unfairly. But the unmistakable words, the literal words he said, is an indication that the critics were much more right than I."

Rivera stood by Trump after he basically ignored Rivera’s homeland of Puerto Rico after the hurricane, but now he is stepping back.

Since Rivera is now just a tiny blip on the radar, it is likely that Trump will careless about his remarks and move on.

It also gives Hannity and Howard Kurtz a bit more room on Trump’s butt to place their lips.
