Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday offered a justification after he was found liable for defaming two former Georgia election workers, Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman.

On his Sunday WABC radio program, Giuliani congratulated himself for a “brilliant legal move” because he recommended that then-President Donald Trump take his rigged election claims to state legislatures instead of the courts after the 2020 presidential vote.

“I went to Georgia, indicted, I went to Michigan, I went to Pennsylvania, I went to Arizona, and I went there, and I testified, and I brought my witnesses, and I said, among other things, if we lose, we’ll have a historical record, yet we’re going to prove this one day, Mr. President,” he recalled telling Trump. “I don’t even realize they’re going to try to put us in prison, arrest us, raid our apartments.”

    From the article:

    “I did it all for my country because I knew something my fellow countrymen didn’t know, and that is that we were on the verge of electing a 30-year career criminal as the President of the United States, and if you do that, you’re going to rot from the head down.”

    What a fucking idiot.

        Fake News. I’ve gotta admit, Fake News was brilliant strategy, if sowing seeds of doubt into the election process was the goal.

        That is all they need. There could be multi-angle cameras that record their hate speech, and all they have to do to answer to it is say Fake News.

        Fake News! I never said that they should “fire up the ovens”. And if I did, it was not referring to any one specific group of people. And if I actually was referring to specific groups of people, I was just saying what you all think. And if you don’t think that, then you are probably an agent of either the FBI or IRS/ANTIFA.

        Edit to fix punctuation.
