Rudy Giuliani Warns Audience Not To Trust Fox News
"I'm not ready for it yet but there will be a day on which I unload on Fox and I have plenty to unload on," Giuliani emphasizes in the episode. America's Mayor Live is a YouTube series that Giuliani hosts every weeknight from 8 to 9 pm ET. In this particular episode, the former mayor of New York City discussed Fox New's treatment of Governor DeSantis, Donald Trump, and himself.
"You take it with a grain of salt and what they're doing now for Rick DeSantis, I think it's a violation of the campaign finance law. They might as well be doing telethons. They don't cover Trump. They don't interview Trump. Every single thing is drawn against him. Every victory he has is blunted and DeSantis is treated like he's the only governor in America," Giuliani says. "I happen to like Ron DeSantis. I happen to find what Fox is doing pathetic. You're pathetic. You're sucking up. I think you're gonna hurt him by doing that."
Giuliani says that Fox News was especially unfair with their coverage and treatment of him. "What they've done to me is intolerable. It's the same kind of mean, vicious attempt to destroy me as a person, as a lawyer, to destroy my source of income that the left-wing has put me through," he continues. Giuliani's law license was suspended in 2021 over his false election campaigns.
