This MSNBC Panel Reacting to Rudy Giuliani's Bonkers Comments About Donald Trump and Michael Cohen Is All of Us
MSNBC

Pretty much.

Guests on an MSNBC morning show panel with Joy Reid reacted with disdain for presidential attorney Rudy Giuliani's recent television appearances, noting that Giuliani has continued to contradict himself about the extent of President Donald Trump's ties to Russian operatives and the reality of what he knew about Russian meddling during the 2016 presidential election.

“Every week Rudy Giuliani gets on TV and confesses another crime. I expect him to say in two weeks that Trump is guilty of everything," said Tara Dowell, who once appeared on The Apprentice with Trump.


“I do billion-dollar deals all the time, so some of them just kind of slip my mind, I guess," said Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne. “If there’s ever a trial on all of this, I think a whole day of the trial will just be jurors watching old Rudy Giuliani tapes and clips because the number of times, he is essentially confirming Trump lied through his teeth about doing business with Russia in that period—it’s just astounding."

Former House GOP staffer Kurt Bardella also mocked Giuliani's conflicting stories, saying:

“I don’t think he [Giuliani] understands anything that he’s saying half the time at this point. It’s almost like, does Rudy even talk to Donald Trump at all? This has got to be the worst lawyer in the history of mankind. He should be disbarred for being such a terrible lawyer. Every time he goes on television he contradicts himself...in the same conversation..it is maddening..but it is also part of what they do, throw out so many different things that it is impossible to focus on any one point.”

Many have criticized Giuliani in recent days, in large part due to the way he responded to an explosive Buzzfeed News report alleging Trump directed his former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about a construction deal for a Trump Tower in Moscow.

Giuliani recalled a conversation he had with Trump in which Trump said the Trump Tower Moscow talks were “going on from the day I announced to the day I won.”

He was immediately criticized.

Despite these contradictions, Giuliani has continued to try and impugn Buzzfeed News's credibility.

He has also insisted his "statements on collusion haven't changed."

He has also attacked Cohen on a regular basis while insisting that those who criticize the president are suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

Giuliani had a flippant reaction recently when questioned about Cohen's decision to testify before Congress on February 7.

“Big deal!” he said. “I have no concerns about Cohen at all because I can prove with very little effort that he is a total, complete and absolute liar.”

Giuliani further came under fire after he suggested that Trump’s legal team should be given the opportunity to “correct” Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report before the American people or Congress see it.

“As a matter of fairness, they should show it to you — so we can correct it if they’re wrong,” Giuliani said. “They’re not God, after all. They could be wrong.”

Giuliani says it’s a matter of executive privilege.

“Of course we have to see [the report] before it goes to Congress,” he said. “We have reserved executive privilege and we have a right to assert it. The only way we can assert it is if we see what is in the report.”

Trump Just Gave A New Reason For Why He Closes His Eyes During Meetings—And Here We Go Again

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he explained to New York Magazine that the reason why he's constantly photographed with his eyes closed is not because he's sleeping... but because the meetings he attends are "boring as hell."

In November, The New York Times published an article that argued that despite Trump's projection of “round-the-clock energy, virility and physical stamina" and the fact that he "and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics," that image is getting harder to pull off because Trump is showing signs of aging.

'America's Next Top Model' Winner Calls Out New Documentary For Viewing Show Through 'Woke Lens'

The 1990s and early 2000s were a very different time when it came to entertainment, especially how women and people of color were treated on television.

An infamous example of this was the hit television show America's Next Top Model, which ran for 24 seasons. There have been stereotypes and distasteful jokes circulating forever about what it takes to be a model, most focusing on dietary restrictions and infidelity, but America's Next Top Model took that to an entirely different place.

Even MTG Is Demanding That MAGA Admit The Killing Of Alex Pretti Was Completely Unjustified

Former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to speak out against the MAGA movement that brought her to national prominence, this time calling on Republicans to condemn the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Pretti—a weapon that authorities said Pretti was permitted to carry but was not handling at the time—before fatally shooting him.
