it was never hidden, Rudy basically ran on āIām gonna make life hell for everyone in NYC who isnāt white,ā that was literally his entire campaign.
But he wasnāt mocked and ridiculed like he is now. I mean he was on Seinfeld because he was so well liked at the time.
Yeah, Rudy weaponized the NYPD against black people before becoming Americaās Bootlicking Toadie during the W Bush years and people act like heās changed somehow.
Well, he used to be a lot better at faking competency.
Because you canāt mock Republicans when weāre at war. Do you hate freedom?
I guess if thatās your criteria, but in terms of public opinion, no one is touching Cosby.
Itās really difficult to overstate how beloved a figure he was in the 1980s.
right, thatās a lot different than saying he was hiding it, though. It was a huge part of his appeal to a lot of people!
See told you he was safe
Aaaaaand we have a grand jury. Lol Rudy.

Yeah, i donāt think the warrant is so much a fishing expedition as looking for additional confirmation for stuff they already have. They may not begin reviewing the materials for another month.
I think Iām just completely gone at this point because all I can think about is how the right is going to just frame all this as the Dems going after their political enemies and that like almost half the country will see it this way and then use that to justify even more authoritarianism/fascism down the road.
I have no idea exactly why Iām saying this but I think itās going to be the opposite, I think in a few weeks Fox never mentions his name again.
I hope youāre right.
IF THEY CAN DO IT TO A GREAT AMERICAN HERO LIKE 911 GIULIANI 911 THEN THEY CAN DO IT TO ANYONE!
John Solomon is a ājournalistā who previously was editor-in-chief of the Washington Times and wrote a bunch of pro-Trump columns for The Hill, including a bunch of Ukraine columns with questionable sources that were the basis for multiple appearances on FNC.
Iām assuming the right-wing spin is that this is a witchhunt to protect Hunter Biden.
Good thing he got paid a lot for his work. Oh wait.
Zero chance anything happens to him.
