As Twitchy reported, Geraldo Rivera was disinvited from a scheduled appearance on a Duquesne University panel about John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Today the Fox News host took to Twitter to complain, claiming the cancellation amounts to censorship. Not just regular censorship, mind you, but “pretentious” censorship.
Not everyone was convinced.
@GeraldoRivera Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. Ask Paula Deen, Hank Williams Jr. #QuitCrying #70YearOldNudeSelfie

Good points. By comparison to all the dumb things Geraldo has said and done over the years (see, e.g., here, here, and here), his selfie arguably should be the least of Duquesne’s worries.
In fairness, it should be noted that Geraldo did get support from some of his Twitter readers, including Columbia University prof Marc Lamont Hill:
@GeraldoRivera they did the same to me last year.

Wait. Marc Lamont Hill posted a creepy selfie, too?
