Giuliani joked about Clinton's weight at Mar-a-Lago fundraiser: report

[laserhaas]

Source: The HILL

Rudy Giuliani made a joke about Hillary Clinton's weight at a Mar-a-Lago event for Republicans, according to an Axios report published on Sunday.

The former New York City mayor and fierce Trump supporter spoke before the crowd of 250 Republican donors in the ballroom of Trump's Florida resort. He reportedly said he had been there for Trump's wedding to first lady Melania Trump in 2005.

"Hillary was also there," Giuliani said, according to Axios. "And she actually fit through the door."

Axios reported that the crowd gasped and his wife, Judith Giuliani, gave him a "most foul look."

1. What an ugly excuse for a human being.

Look in a mirror before opening your mouth, asshole.

[laserhaas]

5. We know...right!

What a bad!

[PatSeg]

66. Exactly

He is hardly in a position to make fun of someone else's looks. What a creepy man.

[Cha]

80. lol@ your sage advice, Laurian!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. What a pig.

Hillary isn't even fat, but regardless, if she is or isn't, it's such an obnoxious thing to say. But consider who Ghouliani hangs with.

[laserhaas]

6. Consider who he is loyal to; and who elected thus

They are playing to their base

[iluvtennis]

45. Indeed. The joke is on the 300lb + occupant of the white house...that's, the BIG FAT PIG

[truthisfreedom]

3. Its ok to joke about a mans weight.

But if you joke about any woman’s weight you’re joking about all women.

[laserhaas]

7. Just doing their thing

Being uncouth and careless

[Me.]

13. It Was A Night To Roast Comrade Trump

Did anyone mention his weight? No.

[Rorey]

28. I don't generally think it's okay to joke about anyone's weight, but....

In the case of 45, he has made SO many comments about people's appearances that he's sort of made himself fair game. JMO.

Really, though, there's enough to criticize about both 45 and Giuliani that I don't think it's necessary to get into appearances. I admit, though, that I think it's comical the way 45 tries to hide his baldness and pretend that the thing he wears on his head looks good. I don't think it's comical that he's bald. Some days I wish I didn't have to deal with my hair.

[laserhaas]

40. Concur

Unless it is you, making fun of you

[Rorey]

53. Yeah, and I'm pretty much bullet-proof

I decided a lot of years ago that there was only one person's opinion about me that mattered: mine.

I joke about myself on a regular basis. I don't offend myself in the least.

[laserhaas]

93. Ha Ha

I've lost millions - thrice. My own daughter's hate me, because my youngest was kidnapped by my enemies, 14 years ago; and I've not seen nor held any of my grandkids - since (staying thousands of miles, away - for their sake).

Gone from CEO of 1000 employees, to sleeping in storage lockers w bedbugs (long whistleblower story).

Friends and family call me a fool, for not taking Romney's bribery.

Others in my case - dead.

Booted of more webs/ blogs - due to trolls

But I'm still 😃

Cause, Justice - is only a matter of time.

[7962]

34. I dont think your point is getting thru.......

[LanternWaste]

108. It is. And it;s being given all the credibility and rlevance it warrants.

It is. And it;s being given all the credibility and rlevance it warrants.

[7962]

112. Typing with your toes today?

So you're on board with the rest of the hypocrites who cry foul when someone on THIS side of the fence gets poked, but have no problem cutting those on the OTHER side.

[RhodeIslandOne]

113. Its always noted what side youre on

It’s telling.

[7962]

115. Maybe I'll throw out a Sarah Sanders joke for you to brighten your day.

Funny how some folks dont think whats good for the goose is also good for the gander. Hypocrisy.
I dont get too pissed off when someone breaks one off in me, because I've certainly done my share of it myself. Its the pearl clutching that is kinda silly. And "telling" as well!

[RhodeIslandOne]

117. Never an opportunity to tsk tsk DU missed.

The whataboutism is strong. The thread is about Rudy Ghouliani making fun of Hillary's weight. Can you muster up enough outrage to trash him for a bit or you going to take a pass?

[7962]

119. Poor Rudy.

He's just another opportunist who missed out hooking his Wagon to trump to try to get more TV time. Couldn't quite figure out how to get picked for SOMETHING. Probably just like middle school. Tried to do the trump wife swap & pretty much failed. Think he lost his Fox paying gig too, so now hes just trying to be relevant.
And didn't "tsk tsk" DU, seeing as I've been a member for YEARS. I merely pointed out the blatant hypocrisy of SOME here on many topics. I see calls for terrible things that I used to hear RWers say about Obama. Sometimes EXACTLY the same. And it just plays into their hands; as ive seen replayed on FB many times. But you're free to ignore of course. Free country ya know!

[Skittles]

56. OK, when has Giuliani joked about Trump's weight?

[MFM008]

79. In his case

YES.
You tell me with a straight face he weighs
229 pounds. Just conviently one pound shy of
Obesity . Just one little pound short.
He even lies about his weight.

[ProfessorGAC]

89. I Can Buy 229

From the waist up.

[MFM008]

109. That's a" me-too "

Movement I'm totally in on.....

8. Small minds; small...well, you know...

It’s a compensation issue with many of them.

[laserhaas]

16. Go ahead, you can say it!

Big need to over compensate for liddle winkies

[jb5150]

19. Perfectly ok to joke about the size of a man's

penis, but not a woman's breasts ... hypocrisy much?

[EarthFirst]

24. Gasp!

I apologize if the metaphor is largely lost in your understanding my response...

[laserhaas]

43. Peanut

Yrrrrmmmmm

[Ohiogal]

9. So he decided to come out of his coffin, did he?

[Cha]

81. lol.. special appearance

[volstork]

10. Justified, since he

is the very paragon of svelte fitness.

[laserhaas]

44. Yup

At night he is Carrot man

With a green top

[duforsure]

11. What a statement to make

To drive more women away from the Republican Party. Keep helping us take both houses in Congress back. Maybe his emails needs to be examined very,very completely when the Democrats take back control , and their investigation into how he knew information would be coming out during the campaign. Karma Rudy , Mueller, Mueller.

[greymattermom]

20. I think many women

have experienced fat shaming. Bye Bye Rudy and friends.

[laserhaas]

48. Good luck ....Rudy

With getting any more votes

[Cha]

82. I would ask what in the hell

would ever make him think he could say that and get away with it?.. but, it's the ghoul we're talkin about.

[blue neen]

12. He's a disgusting POS.

Gross, too.

[laserhaas]

46. Could you imagine living with Yeastman

Shheesshh

[MaryMagdaline]

14. He was too chicken to run against her

I never believed the cancer BS. John Kerry and others went through same thing and still ran.

[karynnj]

92. More likely the run of NYC tabloid stories of his messy divorce

As he started to run. He told the media he was divorcing before he told his wife. He also wanted to move his girlfriend into the Governor's mansion with his family.

[Bigredhunk]

15. you're making fun of somebody else's appearance?

He says as his dentures slip around his mouth and he tries to keep his bent glasses on straight cuz he's too f'ing cheap to buy a new pair.

[weissmam]

17. total jerk

I hope his wife gave him a nice present head =fist

[laserhaas]

18. For sure

[no_hypocrisy]

21. Sour Grapes from 2008 when she won the NY Senate seat.

Just to spite them all..

Or dare trump and then do it... He could never...
Or am I just...well.. nuts and should go back to my Mapo Dofu?

[Glamrock]

62. Yeah man, kinda nuts.

There is no reason for Hillary to try to be a 70 year old fashion model. Intelligence=beauty. Fuck these shallow assholes.

[pangaia]

63. OK.. I was thinking it might be a way to put them in their place.

Sometimes I have good ideas.
Sometimes not so good.
Thanks for the honest feed back.

[Glamrock]

65. Hey brother(?)

I get where you're coming from. No shade thrown, no insults warranted.

[pangaia]

68. At least I didn't get an alert.....LOL

Actually, I'm on a diet... 12 down,20 to go.

78. Congratulations!

Share your secret? Or just cutting down the calories.

[gademocrat7]

25. Despicable treason weasel.

He is a soulless bastard.

[laserhaas]

50. Worse

But we are trying to be civil

[Sophia4]

26. He's a fatty himself. He should look in a mirror.

[Paladin]

27. Rudy was there. His lips fit trump's asshole, as usual. (nt)

[laserhaas]

30. Can we nickname him - lickums

[gopiscrap]

29. shouldn't this fucker belong in prison?

for conspiring to throw the 2016 Presidential Election?

[Zoonart]

101. Where is that Fkr anyway?

What hole is he hiding in? (I know... That one is right over the plate. Lol )

[7962]

32. Hey, Sarah Sanders weight is mocked here, so fair is fair. Politics is a rough game.

Or we can be hypocrites too.

[Jedi Guy]

70. Glad I'm not the only one disgusted by the hypocrisy here.

I've seen Chris Christie's weight mocked endlessly on here, along with Sarah Sanders' weight, face, and general appearance. Then Guiliani does it, and cue the outrage. The only material difference is that none of us, presumably, has the same kind of podium that Guiliani does.

One can't pride oneself on being "better" than one's political foes, then behave exactly as they do. It undermines the moral high ground more than a bit. I was tempted to point this out, but I've seen what happens to low count posters who go against the groupthink.

[7962]

77. Very well said.

And you're right; when you've got a low post count you can be tossed for just the slightest step away from the "line".

[Jedi Guy]

100. Thanks.

And yeah, I know. I've been accused, and I've seen it happen to others. It's pretty ludicrous, in my opinion, that the folks who pride themselves on being open-minded and independent thinkers so willingly engage in groupthink, and then take shots at conservatives who are engaging in groupthink.

[MaryMagdaline]

94. It's ok to mock her weight ... if she were fat

He is really stretching to make her weight a thing. She has a few extra pounds maybe. By American standards she is small.

[Jedi Guy]

98. That's not the point, though.

Even if she were as large as Chris Christie, people here would still be outraged if he mocked her. Meanwhile, people on this very thread are mocking Christie. You can't have it both ways. If it's okay for us to mock Christie's weight, then it's okay for Giuliani to mock Hillary's weight.

Double standards are bullshit. If you criticize someone for doing X, and then you do X yourself, that makes you a hypocrite. When a "family values" conservative who attacks LGBTQ folks is caught engaging in gay sex, we rightly condemn him as a hypocrite. There's a lot of hypocrisy happening on this thread, and I think it's disgusting.

[MaryMagdaline]

102. I was weighing in, no pun intended, on the right to

Mock someone's weight. For us here on DU or other bloggers. I don't care if someone mocks christy's weight or trump's weight. They are vicious bullies. They can mock Hillary's weight, too, as they did bill clinton's weight early in his administration when he had a few pounds on him. I just think he was way off since she is not fat. Liberals mock huckabee sanders all the time. I am ok with that. (I, too, am overweight. Because Americans are so fat now, my doctor actually minimizes it because I am not morbidly obese. Even i know it is a health issue as well as a character issue.) sorry to disagree with you on this one.

[Jedi Guy]

103. *shrug*

We can agree to disagree, but my point stands. You* can't scream and moan when a Republican does X, then turn around and do X yourself. That's hypocrisy, and I'll call it out every time I see it.

* That's a general "you" in that sentence, not you particularly, MaryMagdaline.

[MaryMagdaline]

106. We agree on that point.

[Cha]

83. I don't mock her weight.. so Ghouliani can

shut the fuck up about Hillary.

It was a stupid dumbfuck thing to say.

trump is always calling someone out on their appearance.. so he's fair game.

People are rightfully pointing out.. ghouli has no room to talk about anybody ever.

[7962]

97. of course trump is fair game. Look at him.

But I'm sure you've seen others mock many things about Sanders appearance. Among others on the right, male and female. So I'm not gonna get bent out of shape when THEY do it to Democrats. Like I said, politics is a rough sport. You gotta have tough skin. And I'm sure HRC is as tough as they come.

[OilemFirchen]

33. This guy?

[Cha]

84. Jeeze.. projecting again.

[Beacool]

35. Skeletor making fun of Hillary's weight?

Isn't he cute? Sexist pig!!! Besides, has he looked at Trump lately? He's the fattest president since Taft. These repugnant people have no class whatsoever.

[democratisphere]

36. Rudy the crypt keeper said what?

[PoorMonger]

37. Oh Im sure that hurts

Coming from the human equivalent of a steamed plate of pig jowels that is Rudi

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

38. Chris here folks : }

I think he's been holding it in for so long he just had to let it out. I get that way with my farts !

[Jedi Guy]

71. At the risk of being accused of being a Russian troll...

Why is it okay for you and others to mock Christie's weight, but it's not okay for Giuliani to mock Hillary's weight? Either it's fair game for everyone, or it's fair game for no one.

Flame away. I know that since I have a low post count, that makes my opinion worthless to some folks here on DU, because clearly anyone who has a low post count and disagrees with the groupthink is living under a bridge in St. Petersburg.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

74. Christie: Trumps reliance on family hurts ability to run White House

Christie said: “The president has the right to do what he wants to do. And if the president has absolutely no confidence in the attorney general, then the president has to act.”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/christie-trump-reliance-family-hurts-200246319.html

On Sunday Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor who managed Trump’s transition and remains a loyal supporter, said the president’s reliance on family members compromised his ability to run the White House.
But Christie, whose hopes of becoming attorney general were reportedly quashed as payback for his role in jailing Kushner’s father Charles, sidestepped the question of whether he thought the son should be removed.


Hard to imagine what they might really be thinking ,or is it. Christie said a while back there he thinks he'll come into the Trump administration on the second wave, perhaps he figures the first wave is a short wave. On the other hand perhaps Giuliani had a change of mind,perhaps he wants to fill the position. Thing of it is, Giuliani & Christie shared a cozy shack for years. Or at least since day before sept 11, 2001 the day Christie says he was officiated US attorney general New Jersey. Or that's what Christie would have you believe. Those Christie's bought into the Bush administration and for it Christie got to be US attorney general New Jersey. Funny thing is although it's not funny,those two are grabbing headlines at the same time, somewhat odd to say the least. What was he really thinking when he came on with that.



Old Rudy 911 911 911 , he'll slip it in there one way or another.
Or maybe Christie thinks he can out maneuver old Rudy 911.
Almost forgot ,trump likes those little nick names
Christie, let me see, the old red line , Christie, I'll do it, I'll do it ,I'll do it.

Rudy 911,911,911 and Christie ,I'll do it ,I'll do it, I'll do it.
Almost has a musical over tone to it.

[Jedi Guy]

75. That was really super witty and everything, but...

I can't help but notice that you didn't address the point that I made. Weird.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

76. Address that? No.

Rudy Giuliani made a joke about Hillary Clinton's weight at a Mar-a-Lago event for Republicans, according to an Axios report published on Sunday.
The former New York City mayor and fierce Trump supporter spoke before the crowd of 250 Republican donors in the ballroom of Trump's Florida resort. He reportedly said he had been there for Trump's wedding to first lady Melania Trump in 2005.
"Hillary was also there," Giuliani said, according to Axios. "And she actually fit through the door."
Axios reported that the crowd gasped and his wife, Judith Giuliani, gave him a "most foul look."

"I'm just glad I didn't say it," Trump reportedly told the audience.
Giuliani has frequently sparred with Clinton, a former US senator from New York, including falsely accusing her of not being in the city after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11.
Giuliani also pushed conspiracy theories about Clinton's health, saying she showed signs of several illnesses while on the campaign trail.

[Cha]

85. ghouli trying to score trump-brownie points.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

111. Yes ,thats it ,!

You get it Cha !

[Jedi Guy]

99. Astonishing!

In two replies, you've managed to avoid addressing the point I made. It's almost as if you're deliberately dodging the issue...

[LanternWaste]

110. Even from here, I can faintly see the oppression and martyrdom dripping off you

"Flame away. I know that since I have a low post count, that makes my opinion worthless..."

Even from here, I can faintly see the oppression and martyrdom dripping off you as you imply casuistry against anyone who doesn't respond to your question to your satisfaction, regardless of how worthless you allege your opinion to be.

[Jedi Guy]

116. Oh please.

We both know that people with low post counts are attacked if they voice an opinion that diverges even slightly from der ordnung. We both know that people with low post counts are tarred as Russian trolls. We both know that a low post count is used as a weapon, attacking the person's longevity on DU and not their argument. Don't pretend that it doesn't happen. It's one thing to respect members who've been around for a long time; it's another thing entirely to attack new members because they're new.

I figured it was best to just get that nonsense out of the way and save some 1s and 0s, as well as disarm that "argument" against the position I voiced.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

39. Flabby drooping jowls and ill-fitting too white dentures,

and this bald headed ass kissing prick has the gall to criticize Hillary’s looks??

[NRaleighLiberal]

51. wow - that ugly fucked up bald headed pig eyed ignorant asshole really should shut his mouth

then again he is just being a stellar example of today's republican. The definition of deplorable.

[47of74]

52. Fuck your Rudy.

[SCantiGOP]

54. He knows he is irrelevant

After 9-11 he just knew he would be President after Bush. And when that didn’t happen he shred any integrity and good will when he went full fascist and Trumpian to try to salvage a career.

[Initech]

57. Deplorales gonna be deplorables.

[Mr. Ected]

58. I guess this answers the question "What happened to Rudy Guiliani?"

He apparently died and has been reincarnated as an even more malignant neoplasm.

This iteration will die in prison, however.

[elleng]

59. A "most foul look" is the least of what he deserves,

but glad she gave it to him.

[lunasun]

60. Deplorable

She is not even that fat it's just something mean to say and he is stupid so it's not even something funny just nasty and going low

[GaryCnf]

61. He is such a fuck

[keithbvadu2]

64. Rudy and Donald... Did Donald grab the genitals?

[TexasBushwhacker]

69. That was so strange n/t

[still_one]

67. To think that Time Magazine gave this POS as Time person of the year as "America's Mayor"

He is a low life, and only highlights why his daughter hates his guts

[barbtries]

72. i hope this fucker is nailed by Mueller too

he did announce the wikileak before it happened IIRC

86. lol

87. Was he always a rude asshole or did he learn that from the Dotard? Nt

[samplegirl]

88. Oh the money laundering

Carrier for Trump. As if we didn’t know what he had been doing every time he disappeared. This man should of been locked up since the Bush years and hope he is one of the implicated! Ugly Beast! His creepy son Andrew works i the whitehouse as well.

[Timmygoat]

90. Is it true

That Guilliani was responsible for most of the firefighter deaths on 9/11 because he neglected to get the emergency radios (phones)
co-ordinated , so the firefighters could not communicate with each other and warn about dangers, and at the time of the attack he was in another building with his mistress?

[Cha]

91. Meanwhile, when Hillary was in Wales, she

was asked if she thought trump could be the right person for the job, and she preceded to tell them exactly why not.. priceless!

118. Me too

[Demsrule86]

120. Nice orange jumpsuit...Trump may escape with a pardon by Pence or whatever...but

his minions are going to learn what happens when you work for a corrupt president...you spend time in jail.

[laserhaas]

121. Nixon didn't go to jail

But his minions did - a plenty

[Demsrule86]

122. Yes they did...those who don't learn by history are doomed to repeat it...have it GOP slime.
