It was inevitable. Considering how cavalier he has been I’m surprised it took so long. I assume he must be having symptoms because he’s not the type to get tested regularly. And he’s old, drinks a lot, is overweight and has had cancer. I’m sure the president will ensure that he gets all the best treatments and plenty of that oh so stimulating steroid that made him feel like Superman but he’s likely in for a rough illness:
Rudolph W. Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, has contracted the coronavirus, the president said Sunday in a tweet.
“.@RudyGiuliani, by far the greatest mayor in the history of NYC, and who has been working tirelessly exposing the most corrupt election (by far!) in the history of the USA, has tested positive for the China Virus,” Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon. “Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!!!”
Giuliani traveled to states including Michigan and Georgia last week and met indoors with state legislators in an effort to persuade them to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. Videos of the appearances showed Giuliani was not wearing a mask during the meetings.
Hours before Trump’s tweet, Giuliani appeared on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” where he repeated the president’s false claims of election fraud
Giuliani did not respond to a request for comment Sunday afternoon. It was unclear why the president disclosed his condition — or whether he’d asked for Giuliani’s permission.
In the wake of Trump’s election loss, Giuliani has been flying all over the country with the Trump campaign’s senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis, regularly not wearing a mask in public.
When he has been around others who have tested positive, Giuliani has not quarantined, including after a news conference last month at the Republican National Committee’s headquarters when his son tested positive.
Giuliani has shared the president’s skepticism of the virus’s severity and has regularly met closely with others indoors.
Early in the pandemic, he told a Washington Post reporter he was around only six or eight people regularly.
So who’s going to run Trump’s sloppy coup attempt now? Jenna Ellis? She’s barely a lawyer.
This could be interesting.
Also, Rudy is a jackass for exposeing people all over the country. He’s a one man super-spreader. These people …
