Rudy Giuliani never has proof yet ‘never shuts up’ about supposed election fraud

A jury awarded $148 million in damages on Friday to Wandrea “Shaye” Moss (second from left) and her mother, Ruby Freeman (right), who sued Rudy Giuliani for defamation over lies he spread about them in 2020 that upended their lives with racist threats and harassment. (Alex Brandon/AP)

In a recent CNN poll, 71% of Republicans said Joe Biden “did not legitimately win enough votes to win the presidency,” and 41% said there was “solid evidence” to support that conclusion. Last Friday, a federal jury in Washington, D.C., gave those Republicans 148 million reasons to think again.

Former Trump campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani could have avoided that ruinous defamation verdict if he had “solid evidence” to support his assertion that two Georgia election workers helped Biden steal the presidency. But as usual, Giuliani claimed to have proof of massive election fraud that he inexplicably could not share. Giuliani never puts up, but he never shuts up either.
