Fox News pundit Geraldo Rivera has voiced his strong approval of the tentative debt ceiling agreement reached by President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and has scolded its critics, telling them, “It Is called compromise.”
“To opponents of the not-so-grand compromise that avoids a catastrophic debt default-It is called compromise because it’s just good enough for both sides. Congratulations to negotiators and thank you for defying your crazies,” Rivera wrote on Twitter early Sunday.
Rivera’s comment comes after several House Republicans voiced their frustration with the deal and with McCarthy, who in January was named House Speaker after 15 rounds of voting as he struggled to unite moderate and far-right Republicans in his narrow House majority.
