In the days between his election and swearing in, Rudy happened to be on scene when a child got hit by a car. The EMS crew wanted to take the child to the nearest trauma center, but the distraught mother wanted to go to another hospital, much further away. Instead of deferring to the professionals, Rudy sided with the mother and strong armed them into taking her where she wanted to go. Then Rudy played off how he'd 'saved' the child in the media and spread lies about how the crew were being lazy and not attending to the victim.
Rudy's self inflicted trauma is a pleasure to watch.
Happening to be in the right place at the wrong time and exploiting a tragedy for his own benefit was Rudy's political bread and butter. 9/11 was a mother load of goodwill for him.
Then he decided to work for Trump, and now he's a bankrupt pariah who will forever be remembered as the guy who was melting on camera in a landscaping company's parking lot 100ft from a dildo store.
Exactly. His great reputation after 9/11 wasn't earned, but he could have coasted for the rest of his life as "America's Mayor" talking about how great he was during 9/11. People who looked into the details would have known better, but 90% of the public would have thought him a hero.
But then he needed to go all in on Trump and Trump's attempt to overthrow the election. Now, even if people don't know how he wasn't really "America's Mayor" on 9/11, they know him as the hair dye leaking incompetent conspiracy theorist of a lawyer for Trump who tried and failed to overturn the election.
Rudy Giuliani is a neverending source of schadenfreude.
It's my hope, that things get so much worse for him that he ends up remembering Four Seasons as a good day.
Do you have a link to any sources about this?
Would make for an interesting read
Found it, from 1993.

Thanks for the link.
Tbf, my nearest hospital is known for snatching defeat from the maw of victory. Please take me to the one a few more miles away.
