Rudy Giuliani’s Bonkers Plug for MyPillow Goes Viral for All the Wrong Reasons: ‘The Human Centipede of Grift’

Former New York Mayor and Nosferatu Tribute Person Rudy Giuliani set Twitter ablaze with a brief clip featuring his… let’s just say enthusiastic plug for MyPillow’s pillows and other products — including “waffle blankets” and “SLIPPERS!”

In the middle of a podcast episode entitled “UFOs, Are They Real?”, Giuliani paid some bills by hawking Trump ally Mike Lindell’s wares in a bonkers native spot, a brief clip of which went viral as media figures and other verified Twitter users mercilessly mocked Giuliani’s pitch.
