Twitter users greeted Rudy Giulianis warning about the dangers of misinformation with derision and disbelief.
Giuliani cautioned on Twitter this week that misinformation has become a daily occurrence on social media platforms that, if unaddressed, would eventually lead to Jeffersons worst nightmare of a poorly informed citizenry, which he saw as the greatest danger to democracy.

People on Twitter pointed out that Giuliani, as Donald Trumps personal lawyer, was a chief peddler of Trumps lies that the 2020 election was marred by fraud and President Joe Biden didnt really win.
The falsehoods culminated in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot by a violent mob of Trump supporters intent on overturning the election result. At a pre-riot rally, Giuliani called for trial by combat.
