Giuliani denies being drunk in rambling 9/11 speech where he did an impression of the Queen, saying

he only had one whisky

Donald Trump's former personal attorney Rudy Giuliani denied being drunk during a rambling speech marking the anniversary of 9/11.

Video of the address went viral, showing him doing an impression of Queen Elizabeth II, and prompting some commentators to speculate that he had been drinking.




He told DailyMail.com that he had a single measure of scotch whisky at the Cipriani restaurant in Manhattan before giving the speech on Friday, the day before the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks.

He said efforts to portray him as drunk are a political smear.

called "hepatic encepholopathy" - a severe form of brain fog approaching dementia - NAFLD and AFLD both lead to a condition that makes it difficult to effectively treat other conditions - just sayin' might be transplant time, unless he'd "die on the table" SMH...

Everyone knows you're a drunk who farts in public and on TV.

Shut the fuck up and sit down. You're embarrassing yourself.

Using "functioning" as a noun. Presumably he was alluding to a "functioning alcoholic" which is not actually a thing either. Either you are an alcoholic or you are not. If you are non functioning I guess you would be dead.

barely functioning alcoholics but the rest of the family used the term 'social alcoholics' too. But this was a misnomer, as they drank whether they were in a social setting w/ others or by themselves. In fact, they drank regardless of any situation, claiming all sorts of reasons to drink yet again.

One other thing too, about these folks in this boat, they almost always denied that they had any issues, always.

Can’t wait for this sleezebag to get his comeuppance.

“America’s Mayor,” my ass. Always knew he was a twisted creep.
