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.

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.
