Rudy Giuliani's daughter says she 'lost her dad' to Trump and begs people to vote for Harris

Source: The Independent

2 hours ago


Rudy Giuliani’s daughter issued a stark warning about a second Trump presidency, using her father’s “implosion” as an example of what happens when someone is caught up in the former president’s “destructive trail”.

Giuliani has gone from a revered prosecutor and New York mayor that led the city through the devastation of the 9/11 attacks to a bankrupt and disbarred attorney since becoming one of Trump’s staunchest allies.

This fall from grace exemplifies how Donald Trump “destroys everything he touches”, according to Caroline Giuliani.

“Watching my dad’s life crumble since he joined forces with Trump has been extraordinarily painful, both on a personal level and because his demise feels linked to a dark force that threatens to once again consume America,” the 35-year-old wrote inVanity Fair Monday.

This sounds like the tale of a man lost to addiction -- such as alcohol or drugs or gambling. That's what happens when someone is totally sucked into the MAGAt cult. ETTD.

Ghouliani is far from the only one, I'm sure. Just ask the throngs of J6'ers sitting in prison now.



(Ghouliani is no stranger to alcohol, either.)

of the dangers of the orange TRAITOR**, Caroline, your father has been scum for at least as long as I have known anything about him, starting with his treatment of his second wife, and his sleazy relationship with bernie kerik.

for the most part.



(and yeah, having his "mistress" (eventually 3rd wife) living in Gracie Mansion while he was still married, was pretty vile, but then that 3rd one just about cleaned him out when they started going through an extended and very public divorce right when 45 was taking office)

And Kerik is loose and running amok (and needs to be back in the slammer where he belongs).

Said this of his then boss:

“The most dangerous place in New York is between Rudy and a microphone.”

Comey said he was warned to stay out of the spotlight, and that it always needed to be on Ghouliani. I can believe it.

from another Federal Agency. I’ve written about this here several times. He would stand in the vestibule to his office suite, in front of the Great Seal of the United States posing and preening in front of mics and cameras. Always. He was rooted there. It was difficult to squeeze by the scrum that was always there to get into the office. I took an extreme dislike to him.

It's rotted and warped as many, if not more minds than any amount of crack, coke, heroin, fentanyl, and LSD put together ever would or could do. Look what it did to Rudy Giuliani and Kimberly Guilfoyle for starters. Then look at what it did to Elon Musk. As the late, great George Carlin would say - "Turn that shit off, it's bad for ya!".

Limbaugh hit the national airwaves. It's ironic that the party that climbed up on the cross while claiming sole ownership of family values has been so efficient at breaking up families.

I sympathize with Ms. Giuliani. I have 2 cousins, both male, who went down that rabbit hole. Once they donned that cloak of political and moral superiority, they had no more use for any of their siblings and after a while, the feeling was mutual.

That toxic orange blob has a lot to answer for, but the rot had set in before he got there.

"From reproductive rights and the economy, to foreign and environmental policy, we need experienced, sane, and fundamentally decent leaders who will fight for us instead of against us—who will safeguard our democracy rather than dismantle it. And as a recently engaged-to-be-married, 35-year-old who hopes to feel more joyous than fearful about the potential of becoming a parent myself, I need to advocate for a future worth bringing children into, which is why I am voicing my adamant support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz." - Caroline Giuliani
