“AMERICA’S MAYOR” LIES AS MUCH AS OUR PRESIDENT

…It’ disgusting that this man was once called “America’s Mayor”

Giuliani says “He’s more of a Jew than George Soros!”

Okay, enough has been written about the president, his lies, and how he has disgraced the greatest nation on earth.

But we must also make it clear how the man that was once known as “America’s Mayor” has joined the president in becoming a disgusting individual and a liar as well, just like the president

Yes, Rudolph [Rudy] Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, who happens to be a Roman Catholic, now claims that he is “more of a Jew” than the Hungarian-born billionaire philanthropist George Soros.  A Jew that, by the way, also survived the Holocaust.

This statement is only one of the bizarre comments made during Rudy’s interview with New York Magazine.  Giuliani claimed, of course, without any evidence, that the former US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch was being “controlled” by George Soros.  Rudy went on to call Soros, “a Jewish billionaire and influential Democratic donor and an enemy of Israel.”

This man Rudy, is also as crazy as the president in believing in conspiracy theories.

Giuliani went on to say: “He [Soros] put all four ambassadors there. And he’s employing the FBI agents,”  Again, just like the president, he offered no proof of any of this.

He then added: “Don’t tell me I’m anti-Semitic if I oppose him. Soros is hardly a Jew. I’m more of a Jew than Soros is.  I probably know more about… he doesn’t go to church, he doesn’t go to religion…a synagogue.  He doesn’t belong to a synagogue, he doesn’t support Israel, he’s an enemy of Israel. He’s elected eight anarchist DA’s in the United States.”

“He’s a horrible human being,” Giuliani concluded.

Again, not offering how he happened to come to this conclusion.

For many years, Mr. Soros, who is 89 years old, has long been featured in many conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the world and the media.

One 2018 conspiracy asserts that Soros paid thousands of Central American migrants to travel toward the United States last year in what became known as the “migrant caravan.” That claim, of which there is no evidence, was of course also echoed by President Trump.  (And remember, it was Donald J. Trump that started the “Birther Movement” conspiracy against President Obama.)

Last September, Giuliani appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and he then implicated Soros in the totally debunked conspiracy theory that suggests that the Ukraine, not Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.  He asserted without proof that “Soros was behind it.”  

So let’s get this straight.  Which conspiracy is it?

We are told that President Trump says Putin told him that it was Ukraine, not Russia that interfered in the 2016 US election, while Giuliani says Soros was behind the theory.

These guys should get their stories straight if they are going to continue talking to the press.

But it doesn’t stop there with Giuliani.

Per Rudy: “November of 2016, [the Ukrainians] first came to me, and they said, ‘We have shocking evidence that the collusion that they claim happened in Russia, which didn’t happen, happened in Ukraine, and it happened with Hillary Clinton,” he said. “George Soros was behind it. George Soros’s company was funding it.'”

The New York Magazine reporter told Giuliani he sounded crazy, but he “insisted he wasn’t.”

Asked by NBC News whether his comments about being more Jewish than Soros were a joke, Giuliani said: “I’m more Jewish than half my friends.”

In an interview with NBC earlier this month, Laura Silber, a spokeswoman for Soros’s network, the Open Society Foundations, denied the conspiracy theories about Soros being pushed by Giuliani.

“The anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and false allegations espoused by Rudolph Giuliani and his cronies are aimed at fomenting hatred, undermining democracy, as well as distracting from the impeachment process and the critically important national security and constitutional questions before Congress,” Silber told NBC.

Also replying to Giuliani’s bizarre comments in a tweet, Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League said that opposing Soros isn’t anti-Semitic, but “saying that he controls ambassadors, employs FBI agents and isn’t ‘Jewish enough’ to be demonized is.”

Giuliani, who was “America’s Mayor” because he was the mayor of New York during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.  Since then, to maintain a high profile with the American public and the media, he has emerged as a major player in President Trump’s impeachment inquiry.  

During the impeachment hearings, diplomats who testified said Giuliani spearheaded the effort to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to announce investigations into Democrats before Zelensky could visit the Oval Office. He is mentioned four times in the July 25 call between Trump and Zelensky.

The Washington Post has previously reported that Giuliani played a central role in ousting Yovanovitch from her post in April.  Earlier this month, Giuliani bragged about these efforts in an interview with Fox News, where he said “I forced her out because she’s corrupt.”

Once again, I have to say that with what the president and “America’s Mayor” are doing to the image and reputation of the United States, it will take decades to get us back into real world leadership status.
