The View co-hosts came after Geraldo Rivera!

On the Thursday, July 13, episode of The View, in which Rivera was a guest, Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar mocked the former Fox News host after he suggested his friendship with Donald Trump ended due to the ex-POTUS' behavior after he lost the 2020 election.

"Did he know you were Puerto Rican?" Hostin, 54, asked.

"A lot of Puerto Ricans like Donald Trump. I know. You know, I know…" Rivera said in defense.

"I'm not one of them," said Hostin.
