Piers Morgan Grills Rudy Giuliani Over ‘Enemy of America’ Remarks About Zohran Mamdani: ‘Does That Not Make You Uncomfortable?’
Piers Morgan grilled former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani over his controversial remarks about Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Monday, straight-up asking Giuliani whether he would “have a problem with a Muslim mayor of New York.”
During an interview with Giuliani on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Morgan asked:
Rudy, when you have a Muslim candidate in a city like New York and people start invoking 9/11, start putting burqas on the Statue of Liberty, and all the stuff I played earlier, does that not make you feel uncomfortable? New York is one of the most inclusive cities in the world, a place normally that’s very tolerant to many different religions, many different colors and creeds, right? Surely you would feel uncomfortable. As the mayor of New York when that appalling terror attack happened, are you comfortable that people use 9/11 as a stick to beat him with?
After Giuliani claimed, “Nobody’s doing that, Piers,” Morgan responded, “They are.”
Giuliani then boasted that he “protected the Muslim people after 9/11” and told authorities, “Do not touch anybody, we’re not gonna be like them. We don’t hate Muslim people, we hate the people who did this.”
“But then again, I’m not a fool,” he continued. “I know there are a substantial number of Muslims, and there’s a substantial amount of the Quran that talks about slaughtering Christians and Jews, and there’s a whole group of Muslims who believe that.”
Asked, “Would you have a problem with a Muslim mayor of New York?” Giuliani replied:
Not if he told me he would write out the portion of the Quran where Muhammad is exhorting the people to kill Christians and Jews and telling them if he doesn’t kill them they should get tribute from them. If he’s like some of the imams that I’m close to who can write that out and can say that, I’d be very comfortable with him. If he’s dominated by that sick, pathological philosophy which dominates not all Muslims, but more than a comfortable amount given all the killing that they’ve done, then I have a real problem with him. And he doesn’t sound like a moderate Muslim. He sounds like a Muslim extremist.
Morgan went on to interrogate Giuliani over his call for an investigation into Mamdani.
“You said, Rudy, that you think there may need to be an investigation to see if Mamdani is an enemy of America. Is that the kind of language that is sensible?” asked Morgan, to which Giuliani insisted, “I didn’t mean an investigation criminal, I meant for the purpose of voting. You and I should do the investigation as voters.”
Morgan questioned, “But would you see him as an enemy of America?”
“Do I see him as an enemy of America?” Giuliani answered. “You’re damn right I do. I think he’s gonna destroy New York City and I think this is a disaster time for New York City. This guy becomes mayor, this city is gone. People are leaving the city already. You can’t say things like the things he’s saying and not frighten the hell out of people. I mean, it has nothing to do with even 9/11. Had 9/11 not happened, he’d be an enemy of the city.”
