Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew, gave quite the performance yesterday after the FBI raided his dad’s Manhattan apartment.
Giuliani, who acted as ex-President Trump’s personal lawyer, is being investigated on suspicions of crimes relating to dealings in Ukraine, the New York Times first reported Wednesday, calling the raid an “extraordinary move.”

Speaking outside his father’s Upper East Side home yesterday, Andrew, who recently announced he is considering a run for New York governor, railed against the Justice Department.
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.
“Any American, whether you are red or blue, should be extremely disturbed by what happened here today, by the continued politicization of the Justice Department,” he said. “This is disgusting! This is absolutely absurd!”
“And it has to stop! If this can happen to the former president’s lawyer, this can happen to any American! Enough is enough!”

Andrew then tried pinning everything on Joe Biden‘s son, Hunter, saying, “The only piece of evidence that they did not take up there today was the only piece of incriminating evidence that is in there—and it does not belong to my father, it belongs to the current president’s son!”
Yawn.
The entire thing lasted less than two minutes and Andrew gave the performance his all. Unfortunately for him, audiences were not impressed.
Here’s what folx are saying…
Andrew Giuliani called the raid on his dad’s apartment disgusting.

Andrew Giuliani periodically blunders onto the national stage like God is a third-rate writer intent on attacking the idea that America is a meritocracy

On Idiot Jeopardy, host Eric Trump said, "The Idiot Jeopardy answer is 'Andrew Giuliani.'" Contestant Andrew Giuliani slammed his buzzer and yelled, "Who's stupider than Andrew Giuliani?"

Any american that commits a crime should expect to be investigated, that includes slimy corrupt attorneys and ex mayor’s. Slimy Jr better get used to it.
Chrisk
Yes I totally agree that the justice department should be free of politics that that’s totally not what the last 4 years was about.
Kieran
We all know politics has nothing to do with this raid. Of course it doesn’t.
LeBlevsez
Of course politics is involved: the corrupt politics of dye-dripper Rudy Giuliani and hurricane-hair Donald Trump.
Kangol2
Well, since Ghouls has been under investigation for two years, Kieran, I would say it doesn’t. You know, two years ago, your fave Don the Con Drumpf and his henchman Bill Barr were in power. And they were investigating this creep Ghouliani. Counting is your friend.
Cam
The same troll account that routinely defends anti-LGBTQ bigots is upset that Giuliani was searched.
Indicates it was probably the correct move.
BaltoSteve
Geeze that face! Looks like he is going through a senate confirmation hearing for the Position of Supreme Court Justice!
Kangol2
Ghouliani Jr. is missing half a lobe.
Goforit
Andrew’s reply to your statement……”FAKE NEWS!!!!!! My ears are perfect”.
Cam
The article here leaves out another think Rudy’s son said. He basically in so many words said that his dad was important and used to have an important job so how could they do this?
Definitely shows the Republican’s view that people they consider “Important” should be able to commit any crime they want.
Fahd
I remember first seeing Andrew as a young man on David Letterman. He appeared with his father, Rudy, who was very embarrassed by Andrew’s behavior. I definitely think Andrew had a diagnosable behavior dysfunction at the time. He doesn’t seem to have overcome it.
Just like the Justice Department should continue to ask Prince Andrew for answers regarding Jeffrey Epstein, they need to continue investigating Guiliani and the former president. No one is above the law (see Nixon). That’s America – Love it or Leave it. and If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime, etc.

Have you learned nothing these last four….no, make that fifty years? In 1972 you had the Watergate scandal. Nixon claimed innocence but even if he was guilty, he was POTUS and everything he did was legal. Fast forward to 1980 and the GOP manages to nominate for POTUS a Hollywood has been who was backed by skinheads, neo-nazis, the KKK, the extreme right wing and the extreme conservative religionists. Sound at all familiar? That’s when I left the party. Remember that President we had Iran/Contra which was claimed to be legal even though Congress had passed legislation expressly forbidding forbidding it. Fast forward to the administration of the son of a former President who claimed Iraq had WMD’s and had attempted to purchase uranium yellowcake for a nuclear weapon. Both claims were lies, yet nothing was done. Finally, for the last four years, we’ve had a President that personified the old joke, “How can you tell he’s lying? His mouth is moving!” and his party who brazenly claimed that it was impossible for that party to do ANYTHING wrong and that everyone else was lying in order to scuttle that President’s plans and those of that party. Plans? What plans?!?! I’m still waiting to see their healthcare plan that was going to be better and cheaper and cover more people than traditional plans or the Affordable Care Act. All that’s been proposed are plans that would EXCLUDE more people for pre-existing conditions, low income, or aren’t from a certain socioeconomic class. Then when it was shown that that President HAD committed crimes against the Constitution, which is “just a piece of paper,” and the American people, the party circled the wagons and refused to find him guilty, not once, but twice! And finally the “Big Lie!” This, now former President has a ego so large that it’s an impossibly that he LOST being re-elected so therefore massive voter fraud must have taken place without a shred of evidence it had. (That one Is ongoing!”) The truth is that this former President and his party tell lie upon lie, that facts are only facts if they agree with the party line, Their supports are such “fine upstanding citizens” that it’s impossible for them to have fomented an insurrection and all the video from January 6, 2021 are actors hired by the opposition and it was all staged as part of the plot to “steal” the election. Haven’t you learned that yet? But ah, there’s another another clue! You’re name sounds foreign! Therefore you can’t be a “real” American and must be part of the plot! And you thought you could get away with it Fahd! HA!!!!!! (Seriously, Fahd, if you think that this screed is a personal attack on you, you couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m using this opportunity to show the mindset of Trump and the GOP. They honed believe they are above the law!)

I feel badly for Donna Hanover…first Rudy embarrasses her in front of the entire world by openly conducting affairs while in office as Mayor, then very publicly separating from her without telling her (she found out from the media), and now their son has turned out like this. She was able to escape Rudy, at least, but this spawn is hers forever.
humble charlie
Jere,
Donna is well rid of that ass.
And she’ll be well rid of the younger ass, also.

If the laptop belongs to Hunter Biden, why is Guiliani holding on to it?

?Did he just say “polititation” and “assurd” ???
Hey Andrew, it’s politicization and absurd (just like this burst of absurd politicization). ?And it sounds like you just admitted to your dad having stolen property. That’s another problem for you and your daddy… jus’ sayin’ bro,
