Following the Department of Justice raid on his father's apartment and offices, Andrew Giuliani—son of Rudy Giuliani—has been making the rounds on television trying to convince anyone who will listen that carrying out a legitimate warrant is somehow un-American.
Giuliani is so eager to make his case he did the most American thing he could—go on Russian state-sponsored TV and talk about how Americans "don't want to live here" anymore.
You can see the interview here:
Wow Rudy\u2019s son Andrew Giuliani makes his Russian television debut!https://twitter.com/rawstory/status/1392999908454674438\u00a0\u2026— Lev Parnas (@Lev Parnas) 1620952567
Appearing on Russia Today, which is widely recognized as a state-sponsored Russian propoganda network, Andrew Giuliani commented:
"The thing that's been amazing is over the last couple of weeks, how many people -- and some of these people are people who haven't talked to my father in five or ten years -- have come out and said, 'We may not have always agreed with your politics, but we completely agree this is absolutely the wrong thing to see our Justice Department politicize something as badly as they have.'"
"So it's been people who have been very strong Trump supporters and some who have not been Trump supporters."
"They don't want to live in a country where you're going to have a Justice Department that is going to politicize something to the point where a former president's personal counsel is going actually be spied on by the Justice Department."
So Andrew Giuliani seems to be taking after his father @RudyGiuliani who was working w Russian intelligence. Andrew doesn't seem to be at that point yet but was on Russian state tv spewing propaganda about people not wanting to live in America after what FBI did to his father.— Olga Lautman (@Olga Lautman) 1620966054
That is hilarious! This kid is as bad as his dad.— Christine Gittens \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2 (@Christine Gittens \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2) 1620952968
Andrew Giuliani just went on \u2018RT\u2019 (Russian government-controlled TV) to rip the U.S. government, saying \u201cpeople don\u2019t want to live in a country where you are going to have a Justice Department\u201d that persecutes people.pic.twitter.com/UwrTw2nnmo— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1620954898
Russia Today host Scottie Nell Hughes responded by saying:
"And that's very scary for just everyday citizens, cause like you said, if they do it him, they could do it to us and no one would probably even know."
What Hughes finds so scary is, of course, the rule of law, a core of the American justice system.
Anyone, even a lawyer to a former President, can be held accountable under the law.
When you are so hard core America First that you have to trash America on a hostile foreign powers state tv.https://twitter.com/realtuckfrumper/status/1393002981101129736\u00a0\u2026— Tim Miller (@Tim Miller) 1620960888
Hey Russia, if you\u2019re listening, we\u2019re fine in an America without Rudy or his son.— Drain the WH (@Drain the WH) 1620953197
Many people online said they'd be ok with the Giuliani's moving to Russia if that's what they really want.
So let me get this straight. Trump supporters want to save the country from Biden while at the same time they want to leave? Can these ppl not get their stories straight? Is it really that hard?— \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf7 Proud Vaxxer GOP Enemy (@\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf7 Proud Vaxxer GOP Enemy) 1620954598
I don't know any people who don't want to live in America just because the Feds executed a well-vetted judicially approved, based on a showing of cause, search warrant and raided a soon to be disbarred felon. That's what the Feds are supposed to do.— karl m koons (@karl m koons) 1620961622
Let me be among the first to kick in $5 to help Andrew Giuliani get a flight to Moscow. He and his dad will be welcomed there.— Abigail@TrueBlueResists (@Abigail@TrueBlueResists) 1620953918
Andrew Giuliani also falsely accused the government of hacking his father's iCloud account.
Investigators were given access with a warrant.
Not until after Rudy serves his time in an American prison. Once he has paid his debt to society, then sure, he is free to go to Russia. He will be stripped of his privileged American citizenship and die a Russian IF he can pass the Russian citizenship test.pic.twitter.com/XY82HD4QBv— Tic Toc \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08\u2696\ufe0f (@Tic Toc \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08\u2696\ufe0f) 1620954155

When it comes to the Giuliani family, it seems the apple doesn't fall so far from the tree.
Andrew Giuliani told Russian state TV that people "don't want to live in America anymore" because of what happened to his dad. Why don't you go live in Russia then? They definitely don't have any state surveilance there! #rudygiuliani— Jake (@Jake) 1621003722
The fact that Andrew Giuliani was on Russian TV tells you everything you need to know about Rudy's loyalty and his guilt.https://twitter.com/RawStory/status/1392999908454674438?s=20\u00a0\u2026— The QOP Are Seditious Hypocrites (@The QOP Are Seditious Hypocrites) 1620961720
Despite his best efforts, it seems Andrew Giuliani's comments did little to convince American viewers of his father's innocence. Perhaps he'll have better luck over in Russia.
