Angry Man Threatens to 'Punch Out' Giuliani

Share

(Newser) – A "slim, well-dressed man in his fifties" ran up to Rudy and Judi Giuliani in the Hamptons today and threatened to deck him, witnesses tell the New York Post. Sitting outside a Bridgehampton, NY, bakery, the pair was initially startled by the man. "Alright, do it then!" the former mayor yelled. But the Giulianis slipped away as their tormentor hollered from the sidewalk.

Judi Giuliani was seen on her cell calling for their driver. "I want him in jail," she kept saying. Southampton Town Police soon arrived and collared the man, but not before he ran into a cafe and emptied his pockets. The Giulianis were seen at Southampton Police Station later in the day. No word yet on possible charges—or motive.

Rudy Giuliani, a man who used and played the media in a masterful way at a time of great national tragedy, I can understand so many of the early supporters being so angry the way he uses and burns his staunches supporters. Yes, I will catch flack for saying what I said but Rudy Giuliani after all is a politician and in the end they end up only serving their own interest. Reply
