Rudy Giuliani's Daughter Tells Voters To Ignore Her 'Sycophant' Dad And Vote For Biden

Caroline Rose Giuliani came out with her 2020 Presidential endorsement of former Vice President Joe Biden despite her father, Rudy Giuliani's smear campaign against the Presidential hopeful. She also supported former candidate Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in 2016.

As the daughter of the former New York mayor, alternative fact supporter and Trump loyalist, Caroline Giuliani wrote a blistering piece in Vanity Fair calling out the current political environment saying "corruption starts with 'yes-men' and women."



The younger Giuliani explained her reasoning in the article saying she grew up with "the kind of cruel, selfish politics Donald Trump has now inflicted on our country."

She recalled a conversation with her father from her past.

"Even though he was considered socially moderate for a Republican back in the day, we still often butted heads. When I tried to explain my belief that you don't get to be considered benevolent on LGBTQ+ rights just because you have gay friends but don't support gay marriage."

She took issue with her father's response.

"I distinctly remember him firing back with an intensity fit for an opposing politician rather than one's child."

She pointed out Trump and his staunch supporters used the presidency "to stoke the injustice that already permeated our society, taking it to dramatically new, Bond-villain heights."

What heights did she specifically mention?

In the four years since President Trump's inauguration the Trump administration abolished protections preventing healthcare providers from discriminating against LGBTQ patients, banned transgender people from the military and encouraged the Supreme Court to allow people to be discriminated against and fired for being a member of the LGTBQ community.

These core Trump values differ from what Biden, Harris and their supporters believe.



She warned of the dangers of creating an uncontested "echo chamber" for those in power.

She said:

"If being the daughter of a polarizing mayor who became the president's personal bulldog has taught me anything, it is that corruption starts with 'yes-men' and women, the cronies who create an echo chamber of lies and subservience to maintain their proximity to power."
"We've seen this ad nauseam with Trump and his cadre of high-level sycophants (the ones who weren't convicted, anyway)."

She also highlighted the contrast between Trump's need to be surrounded by "yes men" and Biden's ability to respect those with differing perspectives.

Biden even selected Senator Kamala Harris (R-CA) who originally ran against him in the primaries. Which Caroline Giuliani said speaks volumes about how inclusive Biden will be.

She wrote:

"The very notion of 'bipartisanship' may seem painfully ludicrous right now, but we need a path out of impenetrable gridlock and vicious sniping."

...adding...

"In Joe Biden, we'll have a leader who prioritizes common ground and civility over alienation, bullying, and scorched-earth tactics."

The takeaway?

Giuliani said:

"Biden wasn't my first choice when the primaries started. But I know what is at stake, and Joe Biden will be everyone's president if elected."

Twitter users showed support for Caroline Giuliani and her assessment.






Giuliani's central theme in her essay was people deserve to be represented, to be who they are without discrimination and to be served by a government that respects them. She believes that will only happen with a new occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
