Former mayor and lawyer to the president Rudy Giuliani went barking mad during a Good Morning Britain interview where host Piers Morgan got under the 76-year-old politicos skin.
The wild interview started out with Morgans co-host Susanna Reid calmly asking Giuliani about President Trump tweeting when the looting starts, the shooting starts at the outset of the protests and riots that came in the aftermath of a black man in Minnesota dying while a white police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes. That quote was made famous by Miami police chief Walter Headley, who, critics regarded as a racist, in 1967.
Morgan sat quietly for nearly four minutes as Giuliani, who said he was up at 1 a.m. to do the interview on English TV, ranted about the liberal media, the international media, you people and Barack Obama to Reid, while praising Trumps handling of American unrest.
Finally, the 55-year-old former CNN host, who worked stateside from 2011 to 2014, cut in and tried to keep Giuliani on topic. But the more Morgan pressured Giuliani about the shooting, comment, the more upset the former mayor became, insisting the British hosts were taking the comment out of context to make Trump look like a racist.

One of my favorite parts was when rudy tried to justify ol' asshole's "When the looting starts, the shooting starts." He said, "...when you loot, you're going to bring about violence. [Pointing his finger over & over at the camera] Hundreds of police officers have been put in the hospital...the president was warning that if you loot you're going to provoke violence. He may have picked a quote from 30 years ago from some nutty, horrible racist [gesticulating wildly] but that is not what he did on purpose. [Stabbing, pointy fingers] That's what you attributed to him because you're prejudiced against him because what the kind of journalism you're engaging in makes you the most distrusted profession in the country blah blah blah rant rant rant rave rave rave." Then he accused Morgan of being a left-wing journalist who is defaming poor Dear Leader and that there "were only 9 unarmed Black people killed by police last year" so what's the problem because the real problem is Black people killing Black people that the saintly police are trying to prevent. Then Morgan asked, "What happened to you, Rudy? You used to be one of the most revered people in America..." [😂]
He sounded like Crazy Uncle Gus who nobody wants to sit next to at holiday dinners. He should've gone to bed early that night.
Wow. 13 minutes of batshit cray cray.
