Angry Geraldo lets slip he’s disgusted by that fact Biden will ‘whore himself’ in Saudi Arabia for oil

Describing it in coarse terms, even Joe Biden apologist Geraldo Rivera thinks it’s a bad idea for the U.S. president to travel to Saudi Arabia to beg for more oil imports.

The often hot-headed Rivera was occupying the liberal chair on Fox News’ “The Five” on Wednesday when the panel opened the show by discussing the irony of Biden, who blocked much of the domestic fossil fuel production upon taking office in a reversal of the Trump America First policy, now demanding in a letter that U.S. oil producers increase output at their refineries.

When it was Rivera’s turn, he took the conversation in a slightly different direction, although he initially had to issue a disclaimer that kept his usual left-wing bona fides intact.

“I am delighted that the EV revolution is getting a push by the shortage in the fossil fuel sector. So I think we all will transition into EV eventually,” he said in the video clip embedded above.

“I deplore the fact that the president is gonna go to Saudi Arabia and whore himself — excuse my language — to the Saudis attempting them to get them to increase production. I think it’s really unseemly,” he said.

Saudi Arabia has faced criticism for its dismal human rights record as well as its alleged involvement in the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Moreover, fifteen of the 19 hijackers that carried out the 9/11 terrorist attacks were reportedly Saudi citizens.

As part of a long Twitter thread, independent journalist Glenn Greenwald has pointed out how Biden and the corporate media have changed their tune about Saudi Arabia.

Rivera then turned his attention to Biden’s letter to energy executives. “A letter? What the hell is a letter? Where is the ‘energy’ to do something substantive, to your point, rather than the silly writing a letter.”

Sounding a lot like Biden and the Democrats, however, he wasn’t ready to let the oil companies off the hook, however, and chided them for profiteering.

“The one place I suspect that we differ,” he told his colleagues, “is you are giving big oil a green light, or a free pass; there is no doubt but that the average net profit margin for oil and gas production in the fourth quarter of 2021 was 31.3%, that’s the average net profit, 31.3%. Exxon made $5.5 billion, Chevron $6.3 billion, Conoco $5.8 billion. Big Oil is reaping the windfall when the rest of us have to pay at the pump.”

Co-host Jesse Watters then chimed in to imply that Rivera may have investments in the oil sector. “You’re reaping the windfall too,” Watters said to a non-committal Rivera.

“First of all when you say he is whoring himself to the Saudis,” Jeanine Pirro said to Rivera, as the conversation continued, “it’s really prostituting himself. But I think the issue is bigger than what we’re talking about with the specifics. The administration is not only unfeeling, not only demanding, that we suffer more, but they’re lying to us. And they lied to us every day. And they don’t feel the pain that senior citizens are feeling and so many Americans are feeling…”

Prior to the Ukraine invasion, the U.S. only imported eight percent of its oil and gas from Russia, Pirro claimed, so attributing the energy crisis, on the so-called Putin price hike is untrue. “To blame everything on Russia, [as if] we got all of our gas from them in the first place, is an outright lie,” she declared about soaring consumer gas prices.

“Last month, Biden cancelled one of the most high-profile oil and gas lease sales pending before the Department of Interior. They don’t care about us. All they care about is stuffing their own pockets and the rest of us, well, be damned with you,” Pirro added, suggesting that corruption is also in play.

Co-host Greg Gutfeld disagreed, claiming that the policy is not about money. “Young woke staffers” who are actually the decision-makers in the White House “hate fossil fuels…it’s just pure contempt.”

“I go with contempt over greed,” Rivera said, finding common ground with Gutfeld, his frequent rhetorical sparring partner on the show.

Earlier in the segment, Gutfeld joked that as compared to Biden, Jimmy Carter is no longer the worst president in modern times.
