‘Your mic is hot!’: Sean Hannity screams for Geraldo to stop insulting Bernie during victory speech

Fox News host Sean Hannity had to warn Geraldo Rivera on Tuesday that his microphone was still live and that the public was hearing insults he was uttering during Bernie Sanders’ victory speech.

After Sanders won the West Virginia Democratic primary on Tuesday night, Fox News host Sean Hannity announced that he would briefly air some of the candidate’s victory speech live.

“He’s so annoying,” Rivera complained as the broadcast cut to Sanders. “This guy is so annoying.”

“Your mic is hot!” Hannity exclaimed. “What are you saying?”

“That he’s so annoying,” Rivera repeated. “And people that think that his supporters go to Donald Trump are smoking dope.”

It doesn't matter what Geraldo says, he's not going to spark a diplomatic incident.

David Cameron has described Nigeria and Afghanistan as "fantastically corrupt" in a conversation with the Queen.

The PM was talking about this week's anti-corruption summit in London.

"We've got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain... Nigeria and Afghanistan, possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world," he was overheard saying.

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, elected last year after vowing to fight corruption, said he was "shocked".

And a senior Afghan official said the characterisation was "unfair".

After Mr Cameron's comments, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby intervened to say: "But this particular president is not corrupt... he's trying very hard," before Speaker John Bercow said: "They are coming at their own expense, one assumes?"

The conversation took place at Buckingham Palace at an event to mark the Queen's 90th birthday, attended by political leaders and other public figures.

At a garden party later on Tuesday, the Queen herself was caught on camera making unguarded comments about the Chinese government.


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36260193

The Queen has been filmed saying Chinese officials were "very rude" during last year's state visit by President Xi Jinping.

She was discussing their treatment of Britain's ambassador to China with a senior police officer at a Buckingham Palace garden party on Tuesday.

It came after David Cameron was overheard saying Afghanistan and Nigeria were "fantastically corrupt".

Buckingham Palace said the Chinese visit had been "extremely successful".

The invitation to President Xi was part of the government's policy of courting Chinese investment.

The Queen's remarks were filmed as she was introduced to Metropolitan Police Commander Lucy D'Orsi, who the monarch is told had overseen security during President Xi's visit to the UK in October.

She is heard to respond: "Oh, bad luck."

An official went on to tell the Queen that Commander D'Orsi had been "seriously, seriously undermined by the Chinese, but she managed to hold her own and remain in command".

Commander D'Orsi told the Queen: "I was the Gold Commander so I'm not sure whether you knew, but it was quite a testing time for..."

"I did," the Queen said.

Commander D'Orsi continued: "It was at the point they walked out of Lancaster House and told me that the trip was off, that I felt..."

The Queen said: "They were very rude to the ambassador."

Commander D'Orsi replied: "They were... it was very rude and undiplomatic I thought."

The Queen described it as "extraordinary".

He had Neo Nazis on the show and they were getting a little testy back and forth and one of them called Geraldo Jerry Rivers and all hell broke loose. It is a name some say he was born with but snopes say not so.
Birth Name Gerald Michael Riviera
Nickname Jerry

Under the bus if for people who had respect and then lost it for some faux pas.

He'd throw his mother under the bus if it'd mean he could beat the rap.

although I have to agree with Geraldo's assessment of Sanders supporters. The sheer idea that one of us could pivot to supporting Trump is stupid enough to give me a goddamn aneurysm.

That's a fiction I hear pushed around here a lot. Every poster that says so I suspect is a right-wing op. chaos troll.

Every Bernie supporter I've met IRL or online, is deeply opposed to Trump. Not one has shown any hint of supporting Trump in the GE. Some say they'll write in Bernie, some say they'll stay home, and some say they'll vote Clinton, if only to deny Trump.

He keeps annoying people with facts like how insanely fucked up our situation is as to income inequality, lack of affordable healthcare and education

The most annoying motherfucker of all time.

Also the most honest and accurate.

Nice try. We already knew about income inequality, need for affordable education, lack of healthcare. His supporters act like it's amazing he pointed out the obvious. I could have done that. I'm honest and accurate about what the problems are.

Never thought I'd say that. I also find Bernie's speeches annoying...Bernie's voice and incessant yammering give me a headache. Yacking about nothing as mom used to say.

No disrespect meant towards his supporters, I just do find his oratory style annoying.
