Geraldo: CNN host a 'dope' for believing he wants ISIS literally beheaded

@GeraldoRivera Not mutually exclusive Geraldo.

Well, maybe Brian Stelter, host of CNN Reliable Sources, isn’t a dope, but rather a Fox News basher for suggesting that Geraldo Rivera literally want the leaders of ISIS to be decapitated.

Or, perhaps Stelter is “just urging caution” when covering ISIS. After all, it was just four days ago when Rivera tweeted, “Behead the ISIS butchers.” It might have been easy to overlook the nuance there.

Morning, the president finally declared our strategic goal to 'degrade and destroy' ISIS. We must hold him to it. Behead the ISIS butchers.

Rivera’s followers weren’t quite sure if he was being literal or not either.

@GeraldoRivera Please tell us you're using the term "behead" figuratively. (I'm guessing that beheading is a Geneva Convention violation.)

@themainepain @GeraldoRivera if we go so low as to behead Isis, we have become what we are fighting against.
