Giuliani blames loss of radio show on 'trailer trash' Biden

Hours after he was fired, the former New York City mayor shared his frustrations on his America’s Mayor Live show on Twitter/X, claiming that WABC’s billionaire owner John Catsimatidis was attempting to keep him from “telling the truth” about the “stolen” 2020 presidential election.

“The Democrat thing has something to do with it. And the fact that the Bidens are really zeroing in, now, on interference with the 2024 election. And remember, we can go right back to the beginning. The first thing Biden did as a candidate is write a letter to the network saying to keep me off,” Mr Giuliani claimed. “He began as a trailer trash little creep taking little bits with his scummy little brothers. And now he’s a world-class thief. Somehow, strangely, he’s president of the United States.”

Mr Catsimatidis, a Republican donor, told The New York Times that he had fired the former mayor from The Rudy Giuliani Show – which has since been cancelled – because he had failed to comply with the station’s policy around the election. He also said the former mayor had been given repeated warnings before being ousted.
