Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew, did his father absolutely no favors when he went on CNN last night to defend him after the FBI raided his Manhattan apartment amidst a federal investigation into his shady dealings with Ukraine.
During a wild 10-minute back and forth with Erin Burnett, Andrew looked like a petulant child as deflected questions, hurled accusations, and rattled off conspiracy theories, including one about the judge who signed the search warrant.

“Who appointed the judge?” Andrew asked Burnett. “President Barack Obama! You have an Obama-appointed judge who has signed this warrant where no other judge would sign this warrant!”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
To which the CNN host countered, “You have proof that no other judge would sign the warrant?”
“I don’t have any proof,” Andrew admitted. “But do you have proof that any other judge would sign the warrant?”
Throughout the interview, Andrew tried dodging questions by mentioning Hunter Biden any chance he got.

When asked if his dad would provide investigators with information about Donald Trump, he replied, “What I would say is, I do wonder if Hunter Biden is going to be charged with the allegations that are out there against him.”
So far, Rudy Giuliani hasn’t been charged with anything and denies wrongdoing.

Wow Andrew lacks his fathers charisma and his father was not so charismatic

Big fan of the "Every American should be outraged that my shady dad is finally facing consequences" style press hit. I thought Don Jr and Eric had perfected it, but Andrew Giuliani is really reinventing the genre.

oh my god this @ErinBurnett block with Rudy's son is a total train wreck

Prosecutors don’t mind when targets ramble on TV. It’s the targets’ defense lawyers who mind.

@ErinBurnett is a national treasure. This interview with Andrew Guliani is nuts #RudyGiuliani

I’m not sure which is worse: being Rudy Giuliani’s son, or looking like Andrew Giuliani.

Andrew Guliani is about as smart as Eric Trump…

Surprise, surprise!!!
No article on the racist Twitter attack against Tim Scott.
Queerty, your staff is a bunch of cowards.
You aren’t journalists. You’re political propagandist. Pathetic.
Such is the case with BLM. Sad that black people aren’t allowed a different political opinion. The racist attacks by the left to Tim Scott were disgusting. And the silence from you and BLM says it all. You don’t want equality.
You don’t have to agree with him. Though you should call out the racist, degrading tweets against a black man.
But yes, carry on about Andrew Guilian’s son. That’s effecting the LGBTQ community and other minority groups how exactly?
Oh, and let’s get more writers on the Matt Gaetz story. The whole LGBTQ community is deeply involved in this story. According to the sheer numbers of articles youve wasted resources on.

@gaysfortrump
it’s not possible that there were racist attacks on tim scott. we are not a racist country. just ask him
o.codone
@ gays for trump. You’ve got about 5 more minutes until you’re censored from Queerty for challenging the narrative. Nice knowing ya. Bye, bye.

Seems like a few people are calling Andrew the missing Trump.. but what if Eric isn’t really a Trump!

A son naturally supports his father. I hope Andrew attends every court hearing, and if it comes to it, visits Rudy in prison as often as allowed.
Heywood Jablowme
That’s a repulsive attitude. When the father has committed a major crime, the son should NOT support him.
Fahd
“Repulsive” is in the eye of the beholder, which if you own a mirror you know.
I disagree with your notions about support within a family. Even if Rudy goes to jail, I would expect his son to support him. I guess there might be some crimes so pernicious (Bernie Madoff) or violent that a family would (should) withdraw its support, but in a case like Guiliani’s, I would expect his son to stick with him, so I guess we disagree. I don’t find your opinion “repulsive”.

“Even if Rudy goes to jail, I would expect his son to support him.”
Why? That’s Mafia-style thinking. Taken to an extreme, it’s aiding and abetting (which Andrew may be doing anyway, may be he’ll end up in jail too). In fact, I’d hope that a sensible Andrew would reject his father’s disgusting politics and avoid communicating with him ever again. Plenty of families have been fractured by the Trumpers, but it’s the Trumpers’ fault.

@heywood
You’re entitled to your opinion. I think cutting off family is often easier, but it undermines the value of unconditional love, and it’s a solution that often does more to harm the one doing the cutting, rather than the one cut off. I recall a very prominent government official in an Ohio city whose son was convicted of murdering a child when the son was only 17 – tried as an adult, got life. Thereafter, the father visited the son every week in prison. Not sure I would have done the same, but I admired the man for sticking with his son. Of course, if personal safety is involved (gay child treated abusively), I can understand cutting off family – situations vary.
As regards Andrew and Rudy Guiliani, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. One can’t be surprised about Andrew spewing crap to support dad. I understand Andrew’s ravings in that context, and I don’t think Andrew is ever, ever going to assess the situation objectively or not support dad.
