WATCH: Rudy Giuliani Dresses as Santa Claus in Utterly Bizarre Ad for His Coffee Company
Rudy Giuliani
Rudy Giuliani has resorted to dressing up as Santa to sell coffee to ameliorate the financial toll a ruling in a defamation suit against him has taken on the former New York City mayor.
In October, a court ruled that Giuliani would have to begin surrendering assets in place of the $150 million he was initially ordered to pay election workers he accused of scheming to steal the 2020 election. Among the assets were his New York penthouse, sports memorabilia, watches, and at least one luxury car — a 1980 Mercedes once owned by actress Lauren Bacall.
The ex-mayor reappeared in court in late November, where he told a judge that no longer had a car, credit cards, or cash.
In January, a trial will begin that will determine if Giuliani has to forfeit his home in Florida as well.
Until then, Giuliani looks to be trying to pay the bills with coffee. In a video posted on social media Monday, Giuliani appeared in an ad for Rudy Coffee dressed as Santa. Flanked by two men dressed as elves, Giuliani asked a woman sitting on his lap what she wanted for Christmas.
“Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!” Giuliani said. “What would you like for Christmas, darling?”
“Rudy Coffee!” the woman responded.
“Not diamonds? Not a necklace?” a stunned Giuliani asked.
Seconds later, the elves — each holding a pack of Rudy Coffee — handed them to the woman.
“Give her all the coffee she wants!” Giuliani said. “Give her all the coffee she wants! Ho, ho, ho!”
