'Contemptible': outrage as Rudy Giuliani attacks George Soros as 'hardly a Jew'

Jewish groups intensified criticism on Tuesday of Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor turned president’s lawyer and freelancing Ukrainian envoy, after he attacked Jewish financier, philanthropist and Holocaust survivor George Soros for being “hardly a Jew” and failing to attend synagogue.

Giuliani also asserted he was “more of a Jew than Soros” and repeated a claim that the former US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, who testified in Donald Trump’s impeachment inquiry, was controlled by the financier.

The Anti-Defamation League CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, furiously rebuked Giuliani, who is of Italian descent and was raised Roman Catholic, describing his comments as “baffling and offensive” and a “dog whistle to hardcore antisemites and white supremacists who believe this garbage”.

1. is is crazy how low he is sinking

[madaboutharry]

2. Bloody Marys can be truth serum.

The original article clearly implies he was drunk. Apparently, drinking makes Rudy tell us what he really thinks.

3. Would it be too much to hope for

that soon Rudy will get drunk enough to tell us what he really thinks of tRump and his grifting family? Rudy is being set up to take the fall for the entire Ukraine deal, seems to me. Hey, Rudy, you have been played. Come over to the light side before it is too late to save yourself. No invite to the Miami whorehouse this Christmas? All those traitors and foreign nationals were invited, why not you? Wake up, you have been HAD.

5. OK, I've got to ask. WTH do the Repukes have against Soros? What is the history?

I've never figured it out, except that he is rich and must have been a friend of Hillary/Bill, or some such. I've heard them complain about his support of the Democrats, but never figured out why Soros is such a dirty word to Repukes. I don't know him or much about him, but if he is SO connected and such a benefactor of the Democrats, why don't I ever see his name except in criticism/threats by the Repukes? Was Soros the Repuke's target because we criticized the Koch brothers so much?

Boy, you never hear anything about those two since the one died.

6. For one thing, Soros is the "wrong kind of Jew" per Republicans.

He doesn't donate to them like Sheldon Adelson.

[Frustratedlady]

7. Well, does he overly donate to Democrats? Like, illegally?

I don't get it. I have no idea why Soros is rich or what he does with his money, but he keeps popping up as a demon in regards to what he does for Democrats.

I suppose that he could legally donate and that would be foreign to Repukes, as so many of their supporters sneak around with huge bags of money. They could be jealous of that.

Speaking of huge bags of money, I wonder if the NRA has received their annual Russian donation for the Repukes? Just sayin'.

9. Soros committed the crime

of donating to MoveOn, I believe that's when it reached its peak.

10. Think Emmanuel Goldstein of 1984

A convenient target of hatred, which they must do just as they must breathe.

16. "Emmanuel Goldstein", yep

15. It's quite the mystery especially when one considers this...

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Rudy is comtemptibull

[dlk]

11. A drooling drunk with an unzipped fly...

Alcoholism is progressive and Rudy is barreling toward the bottom. When he crashes and burns it won’t be pretty.

[calimary]

12. Way to go, CRudy. Question a Holocaust survivor on his Jewish legitimacy.

If you’re attacking an elderly Jew, does that mean we get to call you a Nazi now?
