Rudy no one would be asking about the woman if you didn’t put her in your press release and there is a 100% chance you’re later going to regret sending every reporter in the city in search of her

Maybe she can swear he wasn't too drunk to drive?
He wasn’t driving. He was a passenger.
Thanks
Exactly my first thought….
I first thought he was just trying to drum up sympathy with what sounds to me like an obvious lie. But if he’s claiming he called the cops, it’s so easily falsifiable. Story will change, I’m guessing.
I don’t quite understand. Is the implication supposed to be that he was rammed from behind by the domestic violence perpetrator in revenge? Otherwise why mention the woman?
I mean, he would shoehorn in how he was the 9/11 mayor at every opportunity. Bringing up this unrelated and unnecessary event seems 100% Rudy.
To position himself as a Good Guy™️ in a calculated attempt to make any speculation/commentary about, for example, his BAC at the time of the incident seem like a witch hunt.
that’s what I assume I’m meant to think, but that sounds an awful lot like trying to cast himself as the wronged noble hero in what might have been an accident that’s totally his fault
Except the version of this story I heard earlier this hour on WNYC specifically said that they do not believe the collision was a targeted attack.
www.cbs19.tv/article/news... It was not. It happened after he stopped to help the DV attackee, and then his friend drove away and got rear ended almost right away - the cops helping with the DV situation saw the accident.
Maybe it’s the fog of war, but I still feel like I’m missing something. Not saying I believe the collision was a targeted attack, just trying to figure out the part about Giuliani being where he was and why he felt he had to give these specific DV details to explain it.
The first article I read mentioned the cops were already on scene and explained why, so that gave me the context. I agree that devoid of context it’s weird.
No see the problem is you're trying to apply logic to it
she’s gonna tell a story and you’re not gonna come out of it well
That domestic violence survivor? You wouldn’t know her. She lives in Canada and goes to another school
My hot take: she's going to say nothing because she's not real
hard to imagine a funnier outcome here than Rudy falling for a Vice cop sting
That was immediately my thought
Please let this be true 🥺 it absolutely doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but if things are going to be this fucking stupid then I'd prefer them to also be hilarious.
I’ll take “lookie-loo crash” victim, too.
now this also seems like a solid contender. he’s preemptively lining up what he hopes (futilely, I imagine) will be some kind of character witness
As soon as I saw he had his own doctor brought in the first thing I thought was he wants treatments without being tested for drugs or alcohol.
FYI …. I don’t think he had anything to do with the DV woman at all. bsky.app/profile/hele...
How did he know about the DV incident then? It's weird but perfectly believable that cops were aiding her and WHAM guiliani shows up in an accident across the road, but why interject himself in her horrible night unless he was somehow involved?
Police scanner? Reports online this morning before they put out their statement? I dunno.
For anyone else it would be utterly baffling, but yeah from Giuliani it checks out that he'd be like 'don't put in the paper I got mad, in fact put that I was being a good Samaritan in there!'
Police gossip since the first on scene for his accident were the people attending to the DV incident. Easy for somebody to have let slip details
This is HILARIOUS. Rudy ‘Stolen Valor’ Giuliani at it again
Wait now I have to believe either Rudy Giuliani or the cops?? Can we get a third option?
okay but now for funzies imagine the line Fox News hosts will have to walk if this becomes a Rudy vs. cops argument over fault can’t criticize Rudy because some of their base still love him can’t criticize cops because that’s not allowed
“woke cops working for woke governor hochul”
Katherine I’m losing my mind fucking just crashed his car near where a DV investigation was ALREADY UNDERWAY and then made himself the main character???????? couldn’t be more Giuliani
How exactly would he know what the roadside event was about unless he was, an, uh, interested party somehow? Like, pile up accident, multiple injuries, police already on scene. And he is talking to people after? Nah.
Exactly!! Claire, this whole thing has me roaring. What idiot thought to insert themself into something totally unrelated?! Oh … this guy 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 bsky.app/profile/osul...
why am I unsurprised that he looks like this
My favorite part might be this 🤣 (that’s his Mom) bsky.app/profile/osul...
💀
Right? I’m roaring. That thread about the guy is hilarious.
Even in his own story, he just *left her there alone* to wait for 911, no?
So the driver was just rubbernecking and caused an accident?
It would seem so.
Ok new daft theory: the driver has dirt on Giuliani so Giuliani released the press statement to shift attention away from and protect the driver.
Anything is possible with these clowns
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS okay so per this news report the woman was literally just talking to cops who were already there about her DV incident when Rudy crashed his car on the other side of the street???? and he went with “I was attacked for being a Good Samaritan” thinking that would hold up?????!!
Rudy Giuliani? Overinflate his participation and importance in an event? In New York City? I can't believe it
And here I was expecting him to have just made the whole thing up.
After sober reflection, he wouldn't have gone with this story.
He wasn’t even the driver?? So much for “he pulled over to render assistance”
Yep. It would seem that this Ragusa guy is just a moron who rushed out press releases without checking the facts.
was he just distracted because he saw a woman like what is this
I grew up a few miles from where they are describing. It’s a busy divided highway. His description definitely did not make sense in a lot of ways but especially the highway.
If the police report is true his car was rear-ended, on the other side of the highway. And he’s gonna be fine. Why the f would you lie about this??
“You” meaning Rudy..
those two were so blazed on bourbon & adderall & atavan they randomly hit the breaks on the highway causing a college student to rear end them, yes.
Either blazed, or the driver was so hopped up on adderall and roids that they road-raged their way into a “brake check” accident
I want only good things for the woman with the DV report and the college student
like, mutual aid windfall for reals nothing made me crazier than the florida drivers who slam on the breaks FOR NO REASON. I saw more than one accident caused by exactly this tactic so the car behind them hits their rear end & they get out demonstrably "in pain" cuz, ya know, physics.
