Rudy Giuliani, the New York pol who was Mayor of the city during September 11th, has long kept the memory of the terrorist attack alive. Even during his brief flirtations with running for President, Giuliani was known for often invoking the 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center, often using the phrase “never forget.”
Well, in the estimation of many, Mr. Mayor broke his own golden rule yesterday while stumping for his pal Donald Trump.
During a rally in Pennsylvania, Giuliani remarkably told the crowd, “Under those eight years, before Obama came along, we didn’t have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack inside the United States.” And today, the New York Daily News is letting the city’s old Mayor have it as a result.
The tabloid calls the maneuver, “Rudy’s most pathetic politicizing of 9/11 yet,” furthering:
In sick pitch for Trump, ex-Mayor despicably ‘forgets.’
The imagery is a stark reminder for New Yorkers and readers everywhere: the moment that a hijacked airliner slammed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center with the North Tower already in flames behind it.
The New York Daily News has used its editorial cover pages to slam the candidacy of Donald Trump with increased frequency in recent months. Last week the Gotham paper called for the Queens-born real estate developer to end his campaign after his second amendment quip aimed at Hillary Clinton.
