‘Unfair!’ Rudy Giuliani explodes when CNN’s Cuomo plays clip of him saying presidents must obey subpoenas

Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani went on an angry tirade against Chris Cuomo on Friday after the CNN host played an old clip of him saying that presidents must comply with subpoenas to testify.

During the CNN interview, Giuliani claimed that back in the 1990s, he simply argued that former President Bill Clinton couldn’t ignore subpoenas to hand over documents as part of the Whitewater probe. The former New York mayor then said that he would never have argued that a sitting president must comply with a subpoena asking him to testify.

Cuomo then rolled the clip of Giuliani being interviewed by Charlie Rose in which Rose directly asked him about whether a president must obey a subpoena to testify — and Giuliani said he did.

Giuliani at this point began ranting at Cuomo and accused him of being “unfair” to him simply for playing back arguments he made 20 years ago.

1. So Guiliani can't even beat himself in a debate. Its a terrible disadvantage when your opponent...

is the expert witness against himself. I hope cheetolini doesn't fire him. I think Rudy has a jump on a second career as a comic entertainer.

10. "Who Won The Debate?"

"Nobody"
"Who'd you debate against?"
"Me"

I thought New Yorkers were supposed to be sophisticated. How'd they elect this maroon to be mayor?

[NewJeffCT]

21. he received a lot of good media publicity

following some high profile prosecutions of Mafia bosses back in the 80s /early 90s. And, following some mediocre Democratic mayors, he took advantage of voters wanting change - I don't think Republicans had even bothered to run more than a token candidate in years before Rudy came along, so he also energized the Republican minority in the city.

[JHB]

31. Don't leave out acting the same way Trump does...

...feeding bile and bigotry to give him the edge.

As many as 10,000 demonstrators blocked traffic in downtown Manhattan on Sept. 16, 1992. Reporters and innocent bystanders were violently assaulted by the mob as thousands of dollars in private property was destroyed in multiple acts of vandalism. The protesters stormed up the steps of City Hall, occupying the building. They then streamed onto the Brooklyn Bridge, where they blocked traffic in both directions, jumping on the cars of trapped, terrified motorists. Many of the protestors were carrying guns and openly drinking alcohol.

Yet the uniformed police present did little to stop them. Why? Because the rioters were nearly all white, off-duty NYPD officers. They were participating in a Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association demonstration against Mayor David Dinkins’ call for a Civilian Complaint Review Board and his creation earlier that year of the Mollen Commission, formed to investigate widespread allegations of misconduct within the NYPD.

In the center of the mayhem, standing on top of a car while cursing Mayor Dinkins through a bullhorn, was mayoral candidate Rudy Giuliani.

***

Giuliani won the 1993 election against Dinkins and won re-election in 1997. During his two terms, the NYPD ran roughshod over the civil liberties of all New Yorkers, particularly in neighborhoods where most young men of color grew up under the thumb of constant police harassment. At the heart of Giuliani’s law enforcement policy, in case after case, was a lack of accountability for police misconduct.

(Yeah, I know: CATO? But the article is on point for the toipc.)

[ProfessorGAC]

32. Yeah, OK

Didn't answer my question.
How do "sophisticated" voters vote for that incompetent?

[marble falls]

29. Because he was seen as a corruption fighter. They didn't realize a lot of his aura was generated...

by Bob Mueller and others. Rudy was just basking in the glow.

[ProfessorGAC]

33. See My Reply Above

Doesn't explain how sophisticated big city folks got bamboozled
Giulanni is an idiot, and always has been
The NY attitude seems to be overrated

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

2. BC

Bill clintons consensual one time deal, was so damaging to the safety and security of all Americans....and dts fiasco...just a witch hunt.
It's a safety issue. We pay to be safe and pay for the biggest military in the galaxy WE do. And to let dt family sell it down the river by being infiltrated from within...is unacceptable.

[YessirAtsaFact]

3. Poor little Rudy, it's so unfair

Having your hypocrisy exposed on national TV

[phylny]

4. This is how my father reacted when I tried to discuss Trump with him.

He went ballistic! So angry. I find this is a common thread among Republicans. They just lose it.

Of course, my dad is 90 years old, so I disengage and love him anyway.

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. rudy showing the problem we have in trying to talk to Repugs.

They communicate with intense emotions, mostly anger. No room, for logic, rational sense.
and people like Trump himself, all angry, all the time, speak their language.

[Wounded Bear]

16. And, of course, they accuse liberals of using "emotional" arguments...

The projection of their own insecurities on others is always in plain view, or at best hidden beneath a very thin layer of skin.

[phylny]

27. Yes!

Anger, yelling, false facts, crazy theories, and the inability to moderate themselves to actually make sense.

[Sneederbunk]

5. First of all, Giulliani is unfair.

[lark]

6. Truth is not fair, it's biased and Democratic.

Not allowed in any circumstances to be used to point out blatant repug hypocrisy, only lies are allowed for them. It's their stock in trade, after all.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Reality has a well-known liberal bias...

Stephen Colbert.

[RockRaven]

8. When your career is built on arguing whatever BS is convenient in the moment

you will always end up embarrassed by contradicting yourself. SAD!

[Paladin]

9. Suck it, Rudy. Suck it long and hard. (nt)

[LisaM]

11. I didn't see the interview, but happened to turn on CNN right afterwards.

Chris Cuomo looked pretty pleased with himself, and was uncharacteristically letting others do the talking. (Of course then, he cut to Alyson whatshername who's in England for the Royal Wedding and didn't make a squeak when she said she was going to wear her hat "askance", even though I about jumped out of my chair, but I digress).

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. Doesn't he ACTUALLY mean "that was a democrat". Republican's are given different rules. nt

[Hassler]

13. Rudy Jailiani is mad that the creepy image in his mirror is undermining his every word.

[MrScorpio]

14. Hell, I can smell the hypocrisy all the way here in Detroit

That must be Rudy's stress sweat.

[Hekate]

15. You know, I am SO PROUD of Jon Stewart, who invented and perfected that technique!

Rachel uses multi-date-clips all the time. But sometimes, just one will do.

[joko909]

18. 0. Ghoulani has a meltdown when he hears his own words...

Giuliani at this point began ranting at Cuomo and accused him of being “unfair” to him simply for playing back arguments he made 20 years ago.

[Martin Eden]

19. Rudy is angry because Rudy contradicted Rudy

Good.

Keep confronting these thugs with their own lies and hypocrisy.

[niyad]

20. pooor, delicate little snowflake.

[duforsure]

22. Only a really stupid idiot

Would hire and keep this guy around. What a fool.

[maxsolomon]

25. He's out there to throw poop everywhere. "Fool" is irrelevant, or likely deliberate.

He's taking pressure off Trump to respond personally (still hiding from the legitimate press), and accomplishing his main task: dissembling about Mueller's probe. It doesn't matter if he's laughed at; he's there to waste the media's time and draw the ire of Liberals.

Judy Ruliani isn't a lawyer, he's just another GOP Gish Gallop.

It's a TECHNIQUE, and the GOP has honed it over the last 40 years. It works.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

28. K&R. Truth.

Just one part of a chaos factory that keeps everyone's head spinning 24/7. It's a wonder many Americans these days can even remember their duties from day to day, much less sort out the daily mass of bullshit coming from this White House and Congress.

I agree with you that this had been done methodically by an evil sector of the world's populace - almost entirely people of extreme wealth such as Rupert Murdoch that believe they deserve to rule the Earth, no matter what the cost to us.

The primary components of this machine however remain unseen and unknown to the public: organizations such as Heritage Foundation, AEI, and ALEX that churn out massive amounts of hard-right dogma every single day. All the non-stop fluff coming out of Trump's non-stop fluff is just opium for the masses to accumulate votes.

We should crown Donald Trump king - King of Chaos and Flim-Flam.

[maxsolomon]

35. Like that dickbag Congressman yesterday.

He doesn't really think landslides are raising sea levels. He's dumb, but not THAT dumb.

It's a red herring, and he probably got it as a talking point from some loathsome oil-industry lobbyist that morning. Get the libtards tut-tutting and shaming trump voters with their big-brain judgment. They'll cling harder to their guns and religion (and Trump).

We've got to figure a way out of the truth-is-irrelevant box they've built.

[ffr]

23. Sounds like something a candy-assed snow flake would say.

UNFAIR!

[keithbvadu2]

24. Still not up to speed yet, Rudy?

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. It would be funny if the entire COUNTRY wasnt at stake.

What line is someone like Rudy not willing to cross to betray his country? any?

[lame54]

30. Guliani has very effective meltdown - they didn't play the clip

[mucifer]

34. Here is the video:

[Rhiannon12866]

36. Thanks!

[ProudLib72]

37. Totally unfair. That was some guy who looked like Rudy but wasn't really Rudy

Most likely a Soros funded doppelganger sent to the past to do a fake interview just to make it seem like Rudy was contradicting himself. I tell ya, there is no end these libruls won't go to in order to besmirch a good man's reputation!
