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.

Radtke leaned into the role of the villain leading up to the fight, invoking President Donald Trump’s talk of annexing Canada as the “51st state” and saying he was seeking revenge for Canadian hockey fans recently booing the U.S. national anthem.

High School Group Asks MAGA Rep. Why Trump Looks 'So Orange'—And His Answer Is Awkward AF

Things sure got awkward for Georgia Republican Representative Brian Jack after a group of students asked him during a Q&A session why President Donald Trump is "so orange."

People can only speculate what brand of makeup or bronzer Trump uses on a daily basis but there's a reason why he's been nicknamed "the orange man," "Agent Orange," and even "Mango Mussolini"—the color of his face is really, really hard to miss given he's photographed all the time.

Transportation Secretary Slammed After Admitting He Made A Telling Switch To Wife's Recent Flight

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was criticized after admitting in a recent audio clip that he'd just switched his wife's Newark Liberty International Airport flight to one out of LaGuardia Airport—despite previously claiming his family flies out of Newark Airport "all the time."

Duffy’s remarks came as staffing shortages caused major flight disruptions at Newark on Monday, with the F.A.A. forced to delay incoming flights from across the continental U.S. and parts of Canada. According to an online advisory, delays averaged over 1 hour and 40 minutes and in some cases stretched to nearly seven hours.
