Hero Posts Fake Ads for 'Crazy Rudy' Giuliani's Law Services on New York City Subways, and They Look Completely Real

Where's the lie?

After the September 11 attacks, New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani soared to become known as "America's Mayor." His approval rating jumped from 36% to 79% and he was named TIME's Person of the Year.

Flash forward nearly two decades later and he's now the personal lawyer to President Donald Trump. Giuliani is routinely ridiculed for gaffes during his television appearances, for contradicting himself, for tweeting nonsense, and even acting as a covert emissary to Ukraine on the President's behalf, despite being a private citizen.


Giuliani, to many, has relinquished all credibility in his unyielding loyalty to Trump.

Now, even the city that embraced him after 9/11 is mocking his antics in 2019, with fake advertisements for Giuliani's law services.

The fake ad appears to be the work of a group or individual called TGL NYC and it links to a website, which boasts Giuliani's specialties including "back channel deals," "cable news appearances," and willingness to work for free (when drunk).

The address listed for the services leads to a bar in Washington, D.C. and the voicemail attached to the phone number is...something.

People thought the fake ad campaign was a fitting personification of Giuliani's defense amidst Trump's recent Ukraine scandal.

This is far from the first time TGL NYC has targeted Trump and his defenders or current events in New York.

New Yorkers don't mess around.

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Continuing to follow the example of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for the financial downturn caused by Trump's tariff fiasco, then lied repeatedly about the state of the economy.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.

Lindsay Lohan Is Now Sporting A New Accent—And Fans Aren't Sure What To Make Of It

Draped in a maroon, jewel-trimmed gown by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel and accompanied by her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai, the actress looked serene, elegant, and completely unbothered by the collective whiplash she was about to inflict on the internet.
