As former President Donald Trump's personal lawyer and a onetime Republican presidential candidate himself, Rudy Giuliani was a familiar face on the conservative Fox News network.

Giuliani repeatedly appeared on the network to defend Trump against his Ukraine scandal, as well as to parrot lies about then-candidate Joe Biden's and his son's business dealings in Ukraine.

But Giuliani's full-throated endorsement of the lie that the 2020 election was "stolen" from Trump by Democrats engaging in widespread election fraud has become even more deranged, resulting in billion dollar defamation suits from the elections companies he smeared.

According to a report from Politico Playbook, Giuliani and his son, Andrew, have been banned from Fox News—which is facing its own election-related defamation suits—for nearly three months.

To add insult to injury, Rudy Giuliani found out about the ban from Fox host Pete Hegseth just before he was to appear in a Fox News commemoration of the September 11 attacks. Giuliani's 2001 response to the devastating act of terror thrust him to national adoration, prompting the nickname "America's Mayor."

The ban also comes as Andrew Giuliani makes a longshot bid for governor of New York.

A source told Playbook:

"Rudy is really hurt because he did a big favor for [Fox and News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch]. He was instrumental in getting Fox on Time Warner so it could be watched in New York City."

Social media reactions likely didn't do much to soothe Giuliani's pain.



Some were amazed at how unhinged it takes to get a notable conservative banned from Fox News.


Giuliani will likely still have a home on other far-right networks.

Fox News Ripped After Blaming Talarico For Not Trying To Stop MAGA Conspiracy Theory About Him

Fox News sparked eyerolls from critics after attempting to blame Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico for not trying to shut down a viral MAGA conspiracy theory that he'd had a mental health episode and was admitted to a facility.

Talarico returned to the campaign trail after taking nine days off to recover from the flu. During his absence, conservative commentators circulated an unsubstantiated claim that he had experienced a mental health crisis and traveled to the Lindner Center of Hope in Cincinnati, Ohio, for treatment.

Samuel L. Jackson Roasts Red Carpet Reporter To Shreds After She Tries To Do Impression Of Him

Samuel L. Jackson is one of those actors that people just love to impersonate. He's had so many memorable roles with countless quotable lines, and his personality is nothing short of fascinating.

But people who attempt to impersonate him always get some aspect of the impression wrong, whether it's the volume, the enunciation, the intonation, or just the overall demeanor. Even Jamie Foxx, who's an impressive impersonator of a wide range of stars, has not impressed Jackson with his impersonation of him.
