FORMER NYC MAYOR ACHIEVES CROWN AS “MR DEPLORABLE!”

…..The flaming Mr. DEPLORABLE, Rudy Giuliani
 
Disgraced former House Speaker, Newt Gingrich comes in 2nd for “Mr. Deplorable”.
 
I have not been a fan of Rudy Giuliani going back to well before the time of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
 
First, before 9/11, I was against Mayor Rudy’s hiring of William Bratton who Giuliani had instructed to increase what became New York City’s controversial “Stop & Frisk” program.  That hiring caused over 500,000 Stop & Frisk events in one year where only 7% of the stops resulted in an arrest.  In addition, 80% of the stops were on blacks and other non-whites.
 
The second point I had against the Mayor was when it was understood that even though the World Trade Center had previously been attacked in 1993 by Muslim extremists, Mayor Giuliani still agreed with his own chosen Director of Emergency Management to locate the city’s Office of Emergency Management Command Center at #7 World Trade Center.  An obvious bad and deadly decision.  In addition, the then Mayor had also rejected the idea of furnishing both the NY Police Department and NY Fire Department with radio communicators that would allow them to communicate with each other.  This could have saved the lives of many of those First Responders that died on that fateful day.
 
Apparently, since leaving the position of Mayor of New York City, and losing his one bid for running for president, Rudy has since become one of the loudest voices in support of the abominable Donald Trump.
 
One writer for The Post, Eugene Robinson, has now referred to the former NYC Mayor as the winner of one of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign’s consolidation prizes: Rudy is Trump’s official: “Mr. Deplorable”.
 
According to The Post’s opinion writer, “Donald Trump is the master of ceremonies, so he’s ineligible. The competition among his enablers — to see who can most thoroughly squander credibility and reputation — has been fierce. There are so many worthy candidates for wearing the “Deplorable sash,” that it’s a shame only one aide or surrogate can win.”
 
So, what has happened for all this attention to be given to this former big city mayor, and not to some of Trump’s other supporters.
 
Well, first let’s look at some of the other eligible candidates for being called “Mr. Deplorable”.
 
First, there is of course his running mate, Indiana Governor, Mike Pence.  Pence is a devout Christian, who actually tells audiences that his running mate, known to be a bully, a bigot, a misogynist and a libertine, is “a good man.”
 
Now the second contestant is the same Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, that Trump out-bullied in the primaries.  Christie went from talking down at his primary campaign competitor to giving Trump his full endorsement.  But Christie really thinks he can change Trump from being the dangerous ignoramus he is today.  Either way, Christie is also totally deplorable, and may get into serious trouble due to his “Bridgegate  issues in New Jersey.
 
The third one of the contestants is one that I kind of feel sorry for.  Trump’s third campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, is a very likeable and capable individual.  The problem is that she has the innate capability of totally ignoring total contradictions of the facts.  She can call some of Trump’s ridiculous antics during the debates as being “presidential”, then when he was even worse in the next debate, and when he contradicted what he had previously said, she call that “presidential” as well….?  I guess to Kellyanne, any stupid thing Trump says is “presidential”.  I do give her lots of credit for her “deplorable” loyalty to Trump.
 
But the really “big-league contestant” in this affair is the disgraced, former House Speaker, and multiple womanizer, Newt Gingrich. 
 
This man was forced to resign as the 2nd in line to the presidency after the vice president, due to his improprieties in office.  But this man actually had the gall to say that Trump’s Gettysburg speech was his most important speech, “maybe since Ronald Reagan in 1980”.  Please note that this was the speech where Trump said he now expects the US taxpayers to pay for his promised border wall with Mexico, and Mexico to later be billed for reimbursement….Right!!  Not only that, this Trump’s speech also used this hollowed location to threaten lawsuits against the women who say he groped or forcibly kissed them. 
 
The Trump speech that Gingrich touted was totally tasteless.
 
But to top off Newt’s promotion as a potential “Mr. Deplorable”, Gingrich proceeded to berate Fox News host Megyn Kelly for giving too much coverage to Trump’s alleged sexual advances to his 11 accusers.  To Ms. Kelly, Newt demanded in the interview, “You want to go back through the tapes of your show recently? You are fascinated with sex, and you don’t care about public policy.”
 
Yes, Gingrich is right up there with being a real “deplorable”, but he still doesn’t top the former NYC Mayor.
 
The mayor really put the “nail in his own coffin” when at the Republican convention he screamed out a speech that described our nation as cowering in fear of jihadist terrorism and that was rapidly sinking into utter ruin.
 
Additional nails were added when Giuliani offered a conspiratorial theory about Hillary Clinton’s original exoneration by the FBI Director James B. Comey that is hard to believe that someone would say such reprehensible comments while on camera.
 
As to The Post opinion writer, he finished his column with, “You win [as the most deplorable] , Mr. Mayor. Congratulations are not in order.”
 
Hear, hear……
