Rudy Giuliani is very ill with pneumonia
Giuliani is hospitalized with pneumonia and was in critical condition, but seems to be on the mend. That latter point will no doubt sadden millions of ghoulish leftists who would wish him dead:
He was now breathing on his own, with his family and primary medical provider at his side, the spokesman said.
The illness is tied to a condition stemming from Giuliani’s experience as mayor during the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, Goodman added.
“On September 11th, Mayor Giuliani ran toward the towers to help those in need, which led to a restrictive airway disease diagnosis,” the spokesman said.
“This disease adds complications to any emerging respiratory issue, and the [pneumonia] virus quickly overwhelmed his body, requiring mechanical ventilation to maintain his blood pressure.”
The years since 2020 have been rough for the ex-mayor. His assertions about fraud in the 2020 elections, and a number of statements he made about election workers in Georgia, landed him in legal and financial trouble and also got him disbarred:
He has pleaded not guilty to state criminal charges against him related to the election subversion [editorializing; CNN] scheme in Arizona. Prosecutors dropped a similiar [spelling; CNN] case against Giuliani and others in Georgia last year. The two former Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, also obtained a $148 million defamation judgment against him for false allegations he made about them after the 2020 election.
He was disbarred in July 2024 in New York over his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.
I doubt that what’s been happening politically in New York City right now has added to Giuliani’s well-being.
Trump weighed in:
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Giuliani is a “True Warrior and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City.”
“What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING! They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!” Trump said in a post Sunday.
Right about everything? No. But right about a lot of important things over the years I wish him well.
Interesting that, like so many police and fire personnel, Giuliani has a lung condition from being around the 9-11 debris. His performance during that trying time will always be to his credit. I hope he recovers well.
