Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday offered a justification after he was found liable for defaming two former Georgia election workers, Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman.
On his Sunday WABC radio program, Giuliani congratulated himself for a “brilliant legal move” because he recommended that then-President Donald Trump take his rigged election claims to state legislatures instead of the courts after the 2020 presidential vote.
“I went to Georgia, indicted, I went to Michigan, I went to Pennsylvania, I went to Arizona, and I went there, and I testified, and I brought my witnesses, and I said, among other things, if we lose, we’ll have a historical record, yet we’re going to prove this one day, Mr. President,” he recalled telling Trump. “I don’t even realize they’re going to try to put us in prison, arrest us, raid our apartments.”
I have never seen anyone so thoroughly disgrace themself as Rudy Giuliani.
Same here. He could have retired after 9/11 and would have been seen as a hero and “America’s Mayor.” Granted, the accolades wouldn’t have been earned, but few weeks have looked deep underneath the glowing reputation.
Instead, he hitched his wagon to a narcissistic wannabe dictator. He tried to overthrow the election results. He repeatedly defamed two election workers. He destroyed every shred of his good reputation multiple times over and he has nobody to blame but himself. No, not even Trump. Rudy could have cut away from Trump at any point but chose not to. This is all on Rudy.
