'I did it for my country': Giuliani justifies defaming Georgia election workers
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday offered a justification after he was found liable for defaming two former Georgia election workers, Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman.
On his Sunday WABC radio program, Giuliani congratulated himself for a "brilliant legal move" because he recommended that then-President Donald Trump take his rigged election claims to state legislatures instead of the courts after the 2020 presidential vote.
"I went to Georgia, indicted, I went to Michigan, I went to Pennsylvania, I went to Arizona, and I went there, and I testified, and I brought my witnesses, and I said, among other things, if we lose, we'll have a historical record, yet we're going to prove this one day, Mr. President," he recalled telling Trump. "I don't even realize they're going to try to put us in prison, arrest us, raid our apartments."
"Did it for my country" is the new talking point. Trump used it yesterday.
This is the rationalization when the narcissist is proven to have lied. "I was being selfless, making that sacrifice"
So that’s line four of the prayer? Moving along pretty well!
I feel like it's more like line 5. He's admitting fault, just "didn't mean" to harm the election process.
I guess we'll see "you don't deserve democracy" some time over the next year and our election really will be a question of if we want to become a fascist state or not
There are quite a few on the right already saying this. "We're a republic, not a democracy!"
See how some are proposing that the House should decide presidents.
As long as the candidates are also House members, and they can be changed part of the way through their term, that's just the parliamentary system, like the UK, Australia, NZ, etc have.
It's a fair cop, but society's to blame!
Agreed. We'll be charging them too.
It's because they're the best option for the country. Therefore everything they do is justified.
I guess his country wears diapers
“For the country” is just him admitting to what they are trying to steal?
Why did you rob that bank? For the money.
