From his campaign staff to voters who support him, Donald Trump is surrounded by people as crazy as he is; maybe more so. Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, and Rudy Giuliani are four people I would not seek as character references. Giuliani just won’t shut up. He is campaigning for a position on Trump’s cabinet; he has nothing else. Giuliani accomplished nothing for the people of New York City while their mayor. His claim to fame is that he just happened to be the mayor during the attacks on September 11, 2001.
Giuliani is engaging in conspiracy theories. His latest is in relation to claims by him alone that Hillary Clinton’s health is questionable. Her medical records are available, while Trump’s physician offered three-quarters of a page written in five minutes without an examination.
Although he is obviously a racist, he claims that he is the ‘savior’ of black America as he denounced Beyoncé’s performance at the VMA Awards.
“Her dancers were circling around her and one by one, they fell to the ground, and there were red lights underneath them. And that was supposed to symbolize cops killing black individuals,” Ainsley Earhardt, cohost of “Fox and Friends” told Giuliani, who responded, “You’re asking the wrong person because I had five uncles who were police officers, two cousins who were, one who died in the line of duty. I ran the largest and best police department in the world, the New York City Police Department. And I saved more black lives than any of those people you saw on stage by reducing crime and particularly homicide by 75 percent.”
Like Trump, Giuliani is quick to both attack others and praise himself. The truth is that he just doesn’t get it. He cannot relate to the plight of black men and women who face racism and prejudice every day. Black Lives Matter arose as a movement for a single reason; the existence of cameras with phones and video capability.
Abuse of blacks by law enforcement is nothing new; now it can no longer be hidden with fallacious incident reports. America can see the truth unless you are a white Republican, Rush Limbaugh, or FOX Noise.
Giuliani wouldn’t stop praising himself for his imagined success in New York. He continues to criticize blacks who protest against injustice. He just doesn’t get it; all of the American people understand that most police officers are intent upon performing their jobs to the best of their ability. But when a black man or woman is killed by law enforcement, obviously related to prejudice, and he is not punished for taking a human life, that officer is a criminal in the eyes of the public.
The entire judicial system needs reformation. Our courts treat lower income and black Americans differently than those on trial who are white, affluent, or powerful.
As usual, Giuliani made a fool of himself and continues to do so. Whether it is an attack on Hillary Clinton or black Americans, he cannot help himself. The definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” It’s not working, Rudy.
