As Twitchy reported on Saturday, Geraldo Rivera sparked some controversy by coming to the defense of the Trump administration’s response to the hurricane devastation in Puerto Rico. Rivera’s reports continue to anger many by pointing out that some of the problems being experienced in Puerto Rico are caused by local issues and aren’t necessarily signs of failures on the part of the U.S. federal government:
#SanJuanMayor says residents are "dying," & somehow @realDonaldTrump is to blame. I'm here. Who is dying? Why? Where? Let me help save them.

If massive relief effort doesn't fix crumbling antiquated neglected infrastructure&incompetent corrupt management it'll all break next storm

You ask 'how do I help #PuertoRico?' Avoid government-Give to faith-based organizations-They're closest to people-less corrupt & incompetent

Geraldo Rivera puts the blame where it belongs , on the incompetent, negligent, and corrupt Puerto Rican leadership.
But he praises @POTUS for sending help.

The Resistance, who would rather use the natural disaster to score points against the Trump administration, aren’t appreciative of Rivera’s lack of assistance to the narrative:
Geraldo was garbage when he constantly smeared dead teen Trayvon Martin. he's being garbage again https://t.co/NWQsBQFXk6

To be fair, he’s been garbage for a lot longer than that.

Gee, @GeraldoRivera is just echoing Trump's "alternate reality" and is not "actually reporting on the ground" in Puerto Rico. #FakeNews https://t.co/hll1GyJGVa
