Appearing on Fox and Friends, during a discussion about a senior aide to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano facing charges of sexual harassment and anti-male discrimination, the tabloid newscaster posited, “Is this subtext of the Department of Homeland Security scandal—that there is some kind of lesbian cabal, that it’s a same-sex takeover of the big agencies?”

Asked by panelists to answer his own question, Rivera responded, “I don’t know, it seems like everyone is talking around it. Is that really what people are saying? That men are disadvantaged because women, and specifically lesbians, are ruling the roost there?”
