Rudy Giuliani Says Loyalty to Donald Trump Will Help Him in Heaven

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said on Sunday that his loyalty to former President Donald Trump will help him “in heaven.”

Giuliani, who also previously served as a lawyer for Trump, is currently facing a penalty of $148 million after he was found liable in court for defaming two Georgia election workers, the mother-daughter pair Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. In the wake of the 2020 presidential election, as the former mayor became a significant proponent of Trump’s false claims of widespread voter fraud that made him lose to Joe Biden, Giuliani spread unfounded conspiracy theories that the pair had committed election fraud while counting ballots in Fulton County, Georgia.

Freeman and Moss said in the lawsuit that the claims about them, which were amplified considerably by Giuliani, resulted in them receiving a torrent of harassment and threats. Following the verdict against him, the former mayor told reporters that he did not “regret a damn thing” about the comments he made, and decried the “absurdity” of the penalty amount, which resulted in him filing for bankruptcy last year.

In a Sunday WABC radio broadcast, Giuliani said he would be disbarred for what he stated was “confidential stuff” after he was found liable for defaming Freeman and Moss.

“The Bar Association is going to crucify me no matter what. I will be disbarred in New York. I will be disbarred in Washington. It will have nothing to do with anything I did wrong,” he said. “And I consider that something that will help me in heaven for sticking to my principles and not being a weakling, like all these weaklings who are afraid to represent Trump.”
