Bankrupt and disgraced: Giuliani meets the standard fate of Trump ‘partners’
by Timothy P. Carney, Senior Columnist
December 22, 2023 11:06 AMRudy Giuliani was once an American hero. Sure, the Democratic Party hated him and the liberal media reviled him, but in many circles, he was revered.
Giuliani came into the mayoralty of New York City in 1994, when there were 2,000 murders a year. During his term in office, crime was cut in more than half — you could argue that Giuliani saved the city from the criminals.
New York Democrats saw Giuliani as invincible, and so they created mayoral term limits only for him — literally: The City Council repealed the term limits during the tenure of the very next mayor, Mike Bloomberg.
Then 9/11 happened, and Giuliani stood tall as a model leader in a time of crisis. He became America’s mayor. Nationwide, approval of him was 76%, while only 9% disapproved of him — basically only elected Democratic politicians disliked him.
