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

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.

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.
