I've lost respect for this guy


Respect I gained because of how he handled September 11 in New York as Mayor, but now I find out he's Trump's personal lawyer?? WTAF!?!

He was good 19 years ago, but I think he's gone senile now, like his master.

Me as well. But for somewhat different reasons, he always seems to stick his foot in his mouth on something...ALWAYS.

Back in 2008, I was hoping he would win the Republican nomination when he was running for President.

He just seems in over his head and seems like a sleazy individual.

You just found that out? You really shouldn't vote. You're too damned ignorant.

The Myth of America’s Mayor: Will the Real Rudy Giuliani Please Stand Up?

https://alexandraerin.substack.com/p/the-myth-of-americas-mayor

Luxuriating in the muck at the center of the president’s Ukraine scandal is Rudolph William Louis Giuliani—a man who, not that long ago, was named “Person of the Year” by Time magazine and knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. How could the crisis leader hailed by Newsweek as “our Winston Churchill” have fallen so precipitously from grace? How did “America’s Mayor” become Trump’s partner in crime? When did Rudy break bad?

Ivan IV only assumed the “Terrible” sobriquet after a traumatic illness almost killed him. Henry VIII’s personality completely changed after a bad accident in which he was thrown from his royal horse. Our natural tendency is to look for a similar life-changing event in Rudy’s recent history. How else to square the noble Rudy of 9/11 with the Trumpist traitor who cavorts with criminals?

The answer, alas, is that the Rudy Giuliani we see today—“Colludy Rudy” who operates as Trump’s shadow Secretary of State, doing his client’s illicit bidding in Eastern Europe; “Nosferatu Rudy,” who spewed fire and brimstone at the RNC; “Rantin’ Rudy,” who raves like a madman on the cable news shows—is the real Rudy Giuliani. Not only that, but the 2019 vintage is no different than the 2016, the 2001, or the 1997. Rudy Giuliani has always been egomaniacal, self-serving, loquacious, mean-spirited, and morally bankrupt. This is who he is, and who he has always been.

It’s “America’s Mayor” that’s a fraud.

Thanks for the heads-up. I guess I only saw one side to this guy back then.
