Rudy Giuliani attacked by a store employee

Rudy Giuliani came to the store to campaign for his son, Andrew, who is currently participating in becoming the New York Governor. An employee then approached him and hit him in the back.

The cops said that the man called Giuliani and said, “What’s up scumbag?” While speaking to a news outlet, Giuliani said that he felt the strike on his back and was about to fall.

He stated,

“I feel this tremendous pain in my back, and I’m thinking, what the – I didn’t even know what it was. All of a sudden, I hear this guy say, ‘You’re a f**king scumbag,’ then he moves away so nobody can grab him.”

Rudy further explained,

“And he says, ‘You, you’re one of the people that’s gonna kill women. You’re gonna kill women. You and your f**king friends are gonna kill women.”

He later issued a statement saying he would not be scared by the left-wing attacks. He added that he would stand up for law and order as governor so that New York residents can feel safe.

Rudy Giuliani requests the public to vote for his son

Rudy Giuliani recently appeared at the New York State Capitol to pitch for his son and asked the reporters to give Andrew a chance. He said,

“When we do that, we almost always succeed. We gave Ronald Reagan a chance – wow. We gave Donald Trump a chance – made America better than it’s been in 50 years. We gave me a chance.”

Andrew sent his father to various parts of upstate New York with a message for his voters. Rudy has been moving from place to place in a minivan and is being greeted by reporters. Andrew’s message has also been helpful for the public as they make their decision about who to vote for.

Andrew is likely to win since his surname has made him one of the most liked among the other candidates participating in the elections. His father has frequently accompanied him since the beginning of the campaign, increasing his visibility with time.

Andrew was the President’s special assistant and associate director of the Office of Public Liaison during the Trump administration.
