Jimmy Kimmel Goes to Town on ‘Inebriated’ Rudy Giuliani’s Election-Night Scheme
On the second night, Jimmy Kimmel dedicated his late-night monologue to what he calls “Episode 2 of CSI: I Can’t Believe Donald Trump Is Still Not In Jail” – aka. Congressional hearing on January 6.
Trump’s bizarre decision to “reject the advice” of members of his team and claim victory on Election Night, despite even Fox News said he lostis said to have come from “a drunken-looking Rudy Giuliani”.
“Clearly drunk – by the way, is the title of Rudy Giuliani’s biography,” Kimmel joked. “Rudy Giuliani told him to come out and say he won. The way you can tell if Rudy is drunk is that his breath smells like alcohol rather than cigars and cats for a change. ”
The allegation that Giuliani was a messy drunk was backed up by former Trump aide Jason Miller, who, when asked that night if anyone “in your observation drank too much”, replied: ” Um… Mayor Giuliani.”
Kimmel couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, so Rudy was drunk. The big question is: What is Donald Trump’s excuse? He doesn’t even drink! I mean, this testimony from his attorney, his staff, his campaign adviser, his family – there are really only two options here: Either Donald Trump has lied and committed a lot. guilty of trying to support an election, or he leaves his henchmen’ rocker. I guess it could be both”.
When Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner was asked during his testimony whether he ever shared his views on Giuliani’s drunken schemes with the president, he stammered and replied, “Um… I guess… Uh… Yeah.”
