Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera and conservative commentator Dan Bongino got into another heated exchange during an appearance on Hannity, this time over the conflict in Gaza.
“Geraldo, you do this every time,” Bongino said after Rivera talked about the suffering of Palestinian children. “This is such garbage, and I’m really getting sick of it. You play this emotional game with the audience and use your position of responsibility to put out misinformation.”
“You know, stop attacking me, punk,” Rivera said as Bongino attempted to finish his point. “Address the issue! Do you have the guts to address the issue and not address — this is not about me! You didn’t come on this show to attack me! You came on this show to talk about the issue! Do you have a point about the issue? I’m sick of you, Bongino! I’m sick of you! You’re a punk! You’re a punk!”
“You’re an out-of-control lunatic,” Bongino responded.

“I’m an out-of-control lunatic? I’m a 10-time Emmy winner with deep experience in the Middle East,” Rivera said.
Rivera then continued to shout over Bongino as he attempted to make his point while Fox News host Sean Hannity pleaded with Rivera to let Bongino finish.
Bongino was eventually allowed to finish his point, but only after Rivera threw a wad of paper at the camera and turned his back on the interview.
“Geraldo Rivera does not understand that Hamas doesn’t believe in Israel’s right to exist. Hamas wants the Jews dead,” Bongino said. “And what does he do? The same thing with the police issue. He makes this an emotional thing, and he says, ‘The Palestinian children.’ Of course, we care about Palestinian children. You know the way we save Palestinian children? Incentivize the terror group Hamas to not fire rockets indiscriminately into Israel.”
“You are so misinformed on this. It’s pathetic,” the commentator said. “It’s a bloodthirsty, savage terror group committed to the extinction of Israel.”

At one point, Rivera throws a crumpled up piece of paper and then later turns his back to the camera.

This isn’t the first dust-up between Rivera and Bongino during a live TV segment, coming just over a month after the two had a heated exchange during a debate over police shootings.
“You just want to see the country burn,” Bongino told Rivera at the time.
“I want to see the country burn, you son of a b****?” Rivera replied. “I want to see the country burn, you punk? You’re nothing but a punk. You’re a punk, Bongino. You’re a punk.”

“Tell me that to my face,” Bongino said.
