Rudy Giuliani’s Rant About Haitians And The Jungle Could Be His Most Disgusting Yet
Rudy Giuliani — of “truth isn’t truth” infamy — this week went on a shocking rant against Haitian immigrants who are living legally in Springfield, Ohio.
Giuliani said they “shouldn’t have been taken out of the jungle.”
On the “Flyover Conservatives” podcast, the former New York City mayor and onetime personal attorney for Donald Trump admitted that debunked claims pushed by the former president and his running mate, JD Vance, about Haitian immigrants eating Springfield residents’ pets “may not be true” but had done the job of bringing attention to immigration concerns.
Giuliani then claimed to “know the Haitian community backwards and forwards” from his time “in Haiti negotiating when I worked for Ronald Reagan, something similar to ‘stay in Mexico.’”
After a riff on the practice of animal sacrifice in Voodoo and the eating of animals, Giuliani suggested of the immigrants, though, “it’s not their fault.”
Then came the shocking statement:
They live back 200 years ago. They just shouldn’t have been taken out of the jungle and placed in the middle of small town America. That’s ridiculous. Or big town America, for that matter. These people are insane, what they’re doing. They’re insane.
The campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris shared the moment on X, formerly Twitter. (See above.)
