Trump lawyer and worst surrogate ever Rudy Giuliani looked like he needed oxygen after FOX Business host Lisa Kennedy likened his debunked Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” hail Mary to the arguably less-sketchy Trump dossier drafted by Christopher Steele, which the right has long targeted as a hoax.
“We will have the people in our news departments verify all of this, because it sounds like there may be something here that is fishy that is causing Americans — giving them pause, and now there’s stuff that might’ve been completely adulterated over the 18 months,” she said, “and some could say that you were acting like Christopher Steele, that you were abstracting information.”

Giuliani was aghast. “You’ve got to be kidding me. I was acting like Christopher Steele?!” he asked. “You better apologize for that.”
“I’m accusing you of acting in a capacity similar to Christopher Steele, and that you were going back and forth between Ukraine and the United States,” clarified Kennedy.
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.
Giuliani nearly popped. “Similar to a crook? What you are saying is an outrageous defamation of me, of my reputation! Every single thing is here! And I want you to look at it, and then you apologize to me! I came on your show in good faith to give you evidence that has been withheld from the American people. And I get defamed. That is outrageous! I think our interview is now over. I don’t talk to people who accuse me…This may be the last time we’ll be on camera, ’cause I don’t let people call me Christopher Steele, I’m sorry. Christopher Steele is a criminal! You’re asserting that I’m a criminal!”
It’s got to be tough to maintain this level of lunacy this late in the game, even for Rudy.
And that was before Kennedy even asked him about that Borat scene.
Heres the full segment:

Rudy is a drunk who is totally irrelevant. It’s even surprising that Faux News books him as a guest.

I could not agree with you more!
SELA Rising
Kennedy has totally grown up!
radiooutmike
She STILL is just as awful as ever though.

If you watch Fox News daily…then you are a racist, homophobic, xenophobic and sexist individual

It’s hard to miss “news” from Fox news when it shows up in your news app wether or not you actually want it to. Guliani is a bad joke at this point, an old man making a fool of himself trying to lick Trump’s ass like an abused rabid dog. The only people who believe him is trump’s insane devout following.

My god that woman is almost as annoying as Giuliani himself… they are quite a pair… I could not watch the whole thing… her voice is like nails on a chalk board, and her inane schoolyard name calling is so infantile. Fox the station and fox the viewers are a sadly pathetic bunch.

HE IS THE PERVERT. HE IS A LIAR. He made this up out of whole cloth. He came on the show in good faith? HA he wants to deceive the American people. Ukraine if it has helped any American it is this clown. Hunter lives in california and has an apple which he can afford to have his computer fixed by experts at apple so why would he take it across country to some strip mall repair guy and then leave it there. NONSENSICAL

Right. They must think we’re BOO BOO the effing FOOL to believe that BS. And the “laptop” ends up in Giuliani’s hands? Give me a break! And the story hits a few weeks before election day. Almost like Comey and Hillary’s emails. Hmmmm. So I guess they thought, hey it worked in 2016. Let’s do it again.
WRONG!!! No one’s falling for that again!! Well…except the Trump Cult.

When will people realize and understand that Fox IS NOT a legitimate news channel? It is registered as an entertainment channel just like the Comedy Channel. They can say whatever they like because they are not restricted by the rules and regulations that legitimate news channels have to follow. They can LIE all day long and there are no consequences……it’s entertainment.

This isn’t the first time Giuliani has lost his s*** during an interview. I like the way she handled it… especially when she smiled and said, “That’s all? I haven’t even asked you about the Borat video!”
LOL.

Fox, like many, know Rudy is going to be indicted soon. I hope the DOJ [at least SOME of them are still honorable and doing their jobs] waits until after Jan 20th before dropping the boom. No sense giving Trump a reason to issue a pardon to Rudy before he’s dragged out of the White House [kicking and screaming]. Remember, Rudy’s two ‘associates’ that are in custody are likely talking and making deals and any Prosecutor worth his salt knows the little fish are stepping stones to the Big Fish. And Rudy should be very very nervous as he’s about to become the criminal he denies being.

Bring’s to mind Trump’s tedious and completely deceitful efforts to advance a fiction meant to delegitimize the first African-American commander in chief. “Was it a birth certificate? You tell me. Some people say that was not his birth certificate. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. I’m saying I don’t know. Nobody knows.” Sickening how easily these people can spew lies.

oh rudy. tuck it in and leave the room with whatever shred of dignity you can scrape off of your popped out eyes face.

Meh! Who gives a rat’s ass?

This interview is a scream. And I noticed how terribly small Rudy’s mouth is and how he was having trouble keeping his dentures from slipping. LOL!!

The sad thing is, in 2016, media would have run with the story, and even after it was debunked would have still had headlines like “Was there something to the story?”.
Consumer backlash has gotten them, if not honest, at least worried enough about pushing out lies to support Trump that they’ll do a LITTLE investigative reporting.
