Rudy Giuliani Is Not Having a Good Day

Finally, reporters are calling him on his bullsh*t.

Rudy Giuliani was making the rounds on the Sunday shows and spouting the typical bullshit we have come to expect from him.

Let's break down some of his claims, shall we?

Donald Trump is a "genius" for avoiding taxes for at least 18 years. Hmm... we're pretty sure that credit goes to his accountant, who told the New York Times that Trump was not the least bit interested in the intricacies of the tax code.

In an interview on Wednesday, Mr. Mitnick said he could not divulge details of Mr. Trump's finances without Mr. Trump's consent. But did talk about Mr. Trump's approaches to taxes, and he contrasted Fred Trump's attention to detail with what he described as Mr. Trump's brash and undisciplined style. He recalled, for example, that when Donald and Ivana Trump came in each year to sign their tax forms, it was almost always Ivana who asked more questions.

Also, Giuliani said, poor people sometimes do not pay taxes. This excuses Trump's tax dodging for 18 consecutive years because... well, Rudy didn't give a reason. But yes, a poor person who can barely afford to put food on the table not owing taxes and a "spoiled, rich brat" (to borrow Harry Reid's words) squandering a large fortune on doomed businesses and then not paying taxes is the same thing. That makes perfect sense.

Giuliani then moved on to remarks Trump made last about Hillary Clinton's fidelity to her husband. According to Rudy, Trump is right to question Hillary Clinton's fidelity because, as he told CNN's Jake Tapper: "After she called him a racist and misogynist, xenophobic... I think it's fair game."

For those who are not familiar with Rudy's past, here's a quick primer:

  • Rudy Giuliani's first marriage was to his second cousin. After 14 years of marriage, Giuliani suddenly came forward with the revelation they were related and claimed he had no idea. This conveniently allowed him to have the union annulled by the Catholic Church.
  • His second wife found out Rudy had been cheating during a press conference and promptly kicked him out of the mayoral mansion.

    Tapper called Giuliani on his bullshit in epic fashion:

    The accusation was that Hillary Clinton was cheating on Bill! That's what the accusation was. It was an unhinged and wild accusation! I can understand why you can't defend it because it's indefensible.

    Chuck Todd also pushed back on Giuliani's defense of Trump on Meet the Press. When asked about the accusations of infidelity and cheating by pointing out Giuliani's own skeletons, Giuliani glibly replied, "Everybody does."
