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.”
we were on the verge of electing a 30-year career criminal as the President of the United States, and if you do that, you’re going to rot from the head down.
More projection. A 30-year career criminal is exactly what Trump is; as evidence has shown and proved.
Sounds like he has zero remorse and is basically saying “My only crime is that I tried to stop an election stealing criminal”.
The judge should double the ruling.
“Did it for my country” is the new talking point. Trump used it yesterday.
This is the rationalization when the narcissist is proven to have lied. “I was being selfless, making that sacrifice”
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
So that’s line four of the prayer? Moving along pretty well!
I feel like it’s more like line 5. He’s admitting fault, just “didn’t mean” to harm the election process.
I guess we’ll see “you don’t deserve democracy” some time over the next year and our election really will be a question of if we want to become a fascist state or not
There are quite a few on the right already saying this. “We’re a republic, not a democracy!”
People like Giuliani, Trump, Netanyahu, etc. habitually conflate their own self-interest with the interest of their country.
Though it’s written “conflate”, it’s actually pronounced “willfully misrepresent”
Admitting you committed a crime is not going to work out for you at trial…
“So when you said you ‘did it for your country’, isn’t that an admission?”
“. . .”
Logically that would be Mother Russia, since no other country has benefited as much.
It’s already been to trial and he was found guilty of defaming the two election workers (he didn’t even put in a valid defence).
Oh nice. And what country might that be, Rudy? Because for sure it ain’t this country.
