Rudy Giuliani was viciously attacked Sunday at a ShopRite grocery store on Staten Island, he told The New York Post. It’s a wonder he made it out alive. “All of a sudden, I feel this ‘Bam!’ on my back,” Giuliani said. “I don’t know if they helped me not fall down, but I just about fell down, but I didn’t.” There was a “tremendous pain in my back,” Rudy told the Post.
So much pain, he told WABC talk radio, like “somebody shot me,” and, “Luckily, I’m a 78-year-old who is in pretty good shape. If I wasn’t, I would have hit the ground and probably cracked my skull.” He was so concerned about the possibility of other 78-year-olds being menaced in grocery stores that he was compelled to call the cops on the rogue grocery store worker who so brutally attacked him. “I mean, suppose I was a weaker 78-year-old and I hit the ground, cracked my skull, and died,” Giuliani recounted.
Thanks to the wonder of security cameras, you can see the brutal attack for yourself.
He must have pitched forward, what, two or three inches? It could have been curtains for Rudy if not for his catlike reflexes and level of fitness.
Rudy is milking this for all its worth, and even hooked The New York Times in on his bullshit. He told the paper that he had red marks on his back but wasn't bleeding. “My back hurts, but otherwise I’m able to walk and stuff like that.”
There is actual outrage here. The New York Police Department told Axios that the store employee who greeted the former mayor with a slap on the back and allegedly said, “What's up, scumbag,” was arrested and charged with second-degree assault. Thanks, NYPD.
While the video of Rudy being tapped so aggressively on the back has gone viral, America’s laughingstock MAGA mayor is doubling down.
The horror. The horror.
