Rudolph Giuliani, the ex-mayor of New York City and a former adviser to Donald Trump, is in critical but stable condition at a hospital, his spokesman said Sunday.
Spokesman Ted Goodman didn’t say what sent the 81-year-old to the hospital or how long he’s been there.
Giuliani was dubbed “America’s mayor” in light of his leadership in New York after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.
He later became Trump’s personal attorney for a time and a vocal proponent of Trump’s allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, won by Democrat Joe Biden. Trump and his backers lost dozens of lawsuits claiming fraud, and numerous recounts, reviews and audits of the election results turned up no signs of significant wrongdoing or error.
As a New Yorker, here’s my favorite Giuliani story.
After winning his first election, but before he was inaugurated, Rudy happened to be on the scene of a pedestrian struck. A kid was the victim and his mother was there. Mom wanted the ambulance crew to take her son to the hospital where her husband was a doctor.
The EMS lieutenant was trying to explain that it was protocol to take the boy to the nearest hospital. Rudy decided to get involved and overrode the proper medical procedure. The crew took the child past several hospitals.
Rudy went to the media and lied that the EMS lieutenant and crew had neglected the boy and tried to make himself a hero.
dude that’s wild - and the rest of the story?
