Geraldo's predominant character trait is his huge ego. That means he reacts badly and excessively when someone points out that he is wrong. If his base beliefs are wrong, his life, at least his all-important public life, is shown to be tawdry and meaningless. In his mind, he can't be wrong and important at the same time. His reaction to Bongino's facts was a desperate attempt to justify his life and professional existence. Sad and pathetic when you think about it.
