Rudy Giuliani's Drunk 9/11 Anniversary Speech

America’s disgraced mayor, Rudy Giuliani, continued his descent into obscurity at his annual dinner commemorating the 20th anniversary of the attacks on September 11th, 2001. In a rambling, nearly incoherent speech that led many on Twitter to question his level of intoxication, Giuliani riffed on a number of subjects, including how he wants to “shove” General Mark Milley’s (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) Army decorations “down his throat,” (Giuliani, who never served in the military called the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs an “asshole” and “idiot”) a critique of Biden’s handling of Afghanistan, a denial that he ever engaged “with a woman or young girl” in the company of Prince Andrew and an impression of Queen Elizabeth.

Naturally, Giuliani couldn’t neglect to mention that he happened to be mayor of New York on 9/11 — a fact he has been dining out on for two decades. (As then-Sen. Joe Biden once joked, “There’s only three things [Giuliani] mentions in a sentence — a noun, a verb, and 9/11. There’s nothing else!”)

Perhaps the least predictable segment of Giuliani’s rant came when he talked about the Queen of England and how he turned down a knighthood. “I turned down a knighthood because if you took a knighthood, you had to lose your citizenship,” Giuliani said. But actually, Rudy accepted an honorary knighthood, and he was named ‘Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire’ for his “outstanding help and support to the bereaved British families in New York.”

Giuliani then turned the subject to the queen’s son,
Prince Andrew, who has been mired in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Women have come forward accusing the prince of sexually assaulting them when they were minors ...
“I never went out with him. Ever!” Giuliani said. “Never had a drink with him. Ever, ever, ever.”

He then immediately backtracked and admitted
he had socialized with Prince Andrew on at least two occasions
. “One time, I met him in my office, and one time when we had that party,” Giuliani said.

Republican kids are going to be so screwed up. It's not like they don't notice their Republican leaders lying, cheating, and grifting. A sad situation all around.
