‘Good God…’: Geraldo Rivera Opines That AOC ‘Outshines Every Other Member Of Congress In Eloquence…’

Geraldo Rivera on Wednesday offered high praise for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, saying that the Democratic lawmaker from New York “outshines” all of her congressional colleagues in terms of “eloquence and passionate sincerity.”

“Say what you want about her politics, @AOC Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outshines every other member of Congress in eloquence and passionate sincerity,” Rivera tweeted.

Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive firebrand who has served in Congress since 2019, was one of the lawmakers who delivered remarks Wednesday on the House floor ahead of a vote to censure Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) over an edited video that includes a brief segment in which a cartoon figure with Gosar’s face superimposed on it attacks another character that has Ocasio-Cortez’s face superimposed over it.

Geraldo’s assessment of the congresswoman spurred a large number of reactions on social media, many of them critical.
