Rudy Giuliani Exposed as a Racist Liar

A federal judge has ruled that Rudy Giuliani is legally liable for spreading racist lies about two black election workers who became the target of conspiracy theories and death threats.

Sometimes, bad things happen to bad people. For the last 30 years, Rudy Giuliani has been accused of pedaling racist election lies and conspiracy theories. In 2020, Giuliani was a leading architect and front man for Trump's Big Lie and is facing criminal indictments for trying to overturn the election. Now, a federal judge has ruled that Giuliani must pay damages for baselessly accusing two black election workers of "passing around USB ports as if they are vials of heroin or cocaine."
