The transcripts were filed on Tuesday by Noelle Dunphy, who is suing the former Trump lawyer for sexual harassment

“Jewish men have small cocks because they can’t use them after they get married,” Giuliani said, according to the transcript. “Whereas the Italian use them all their lives so they get bigger.”
Giuliani railed against how Jewish people “want to go through that freaking Passover all the time” and how they should “get over the Passover” because it was 3,000 years ago. “OK, the Red Sea parted,” the transcript reads. “Big deal. Not the first time that happened.”
Giuliani doesn’t elaborate on other instances when the Red Sea was parted.
The transcripts also feature Giuliani discussing which celebrities are Republican. Giuliani is trying to think of someone in particular and Dunphy volunteers that Matt Damon is “very liberal.”
“Matt Damon is a fag,” Giuliani replies. “Matt Damon is also 5’2″, eyes are blue. Coochi-coochie-coochie-coo.”
Various websites list Damon as around 5’10”. It’s unclear why Giuliani invoked the 1920s song “Has Anybody Seen My Girl? (Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue)” or what it has to do with the actor.
Then there are the lewd comments directed toward Dunphy. “Come here, big tits,” Giuliani says on one occasion, according to the transcript. “Come here, big tits. Your tits belong to me. Give them to me [indiscernable]. I want to claim my tits. I want to claim my tits. I want to claim my tits. These are my tits.”
People here calling him psycho and demented, when really he's just a run of the mill old bigot with a massive platform and an even bigger mouth.
Lets stop pretending like people need Alzheimer's or some mental illness to become more vocal about their hate, it is our society and its rapid decline back in to fascism that is allowing it, blame that.
This is exactly what "locker room talk" was code for, and why Trump's voters weren't phased by it, this is the toxic culture they have and want to defend.
Yup, unfortunately it also seeps through in to the rest of society, where it becomes the norm to make excuses for such behaviour, partly because people can't fathom other people being able to genuinely believe such hateful thigs and act on them, but they do, and it isn't "something wrong with them" it's an active and deep rooted part of our society.
All this kind of scapegoating business is just othering because it hits far too close to home to admit that bigots are everyday people like the rest of us, and that our society not only enables but encourages them.
This is much more than just hate, though. He's saying nonsensical things, making random logical jumps, and more. He can be a bigot and have dementia, they aren't mutually exclusive.

That's literally antisemitism (all bigotry, really) for you. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
And you're right, he can be both, but bringing it up is irrelevant, especially since he's got a long and public record of this kind of behaviour, and all people are doing is armchair diagnosing (and seemingly with little understanding of what bigotry even is. And a lack of logic does not dementia make). Bringing potential dementia/mental illness up doesn't only come across (and actively serve) as an excuse, but it's also ableist in that it places a stigma on to people with whatever condition is being used as a scapegoat (and any that might, in a layperson's mind, relate, however loosely), instead of focusing on what's wrong with what he's saying.

We should not be ashamed for being ageist when we are talking about politicians. The system has always been ageist with its limits directed toward young people, so I see no reason why there shouldn’t be an upper limit for old people.
It's bizarre that in most every other line of work, people are discriminated against and expected to retire when they're over 60... besides low-paying unskilled labor like maintenance, where they're forced to work by economic conditions, or very skilled work like being a lawyer or doctor. I suppose the latter is what people consider politicians. Supposedly we are reaping the benefits of their long, wise lives... which is a joke. It's fucked up that we're looking at an election with two people who are about 80. I don't know anyone who is 80 who should be in a position that has massive responsibility and a busy workload. On the other hand, it's also weird to consider electing some inexperienced twerp like DeSantis, who is younger than I am.
I dunno, this stuff sounds like what I hear muttered by the meth-heads at the bus stop opposite my office. These guys in their 60s-70s are popping prescribed amphetamines to keep them going, they’ve gotta come down at some point.
He seriously could have retired after 9/11 and had an amazingly positive reputation in the history books. It would have been undeserved once you dug into it, but it would have still been positive because nobody would have looked past "America's Mayor."
Instead, he had to keep opening his mouth and now any residual positive reputation from 9/11 is long since squandered.
Seeing a lot of comments about dementia here, but I honestly think he's just a drunk. Seen plenty of drunks in my life speak like this. Random, almost non-nonsensical comments. Random bits of songs. Screams drunkard to me.
The only part that sounded like dementia to me was the reference to the old song. The part about, "I want to claim my tits," sounded waaay more like alcohol
I agree, but just wanted to add that this in no way removes blame from Rudy. He'd likely be just like this, but slightly more toned down if he was completely sober. His drunken state is likely just dropping whatever inhibitions he had and getting him to vocalize them out loud.
“Come here, big tits. Your tits belong to me. Give them to me [indiscernable]. I want to claim my tits. I want to claim my tits. I want to claim my tits. These are my tits.”
This isn’t dementia, Rudy’s just a dinosaur. A lot of big shots were sleazeballs behind closed doors when he came up half a century ago but most had the good sense to retire, die or at least stop saying their vilest thoughts out loud by now.
He's also likely constantly drunk which lowers his inhibitions. So while a hypothetical Sober Rudy might know better than to say this stuff out loud, drunk Rudy just blurts it out.
It also doesn't help that 30% of Americans seem to hear this stuff and think "that's perfectly normal and I see nothing wrong with that."
“Jewish men have small cocks because they can’t use them after they get married,” Giuliani said, according to the transcript. “Whereas the Italian use them all their lives so they get bigger.”
…I REALLY don’t think that’s how penises work, mister
Why didn’t this asshat just shut the fuck up after 9/11? He would’ve been fondly remembered, and we wouldn’t have known he’s an butthole blowing antisemite.
I don't think you were wrong for putting the /s, but im sad that you felt you needed it because people might genuinely not understand that based on context.
I was revolted by the "America's Mayor" shit in 2001, as if we were supposed to be amazed about him personally, that a disaster happened in his city and he did an adequate job responding to it. He was a shitbag before that, with things like 'stop and frisk' and 'broken window policing' (which were essentially authoritarian ways to harass poor people) and obviously continues to be one to this day.
It’s the “not the first time it’s happened/coochie coochie” bit that has me thinking that he’s expressing a freer association than most.
It’s still vulgar, but there’s an element of the words not really linking up to the topic while still maintaining the flow of a sentence or conversation.
Just a thought here. Matt Damon is 5'10", not 5'2" so of course every Jewish dick is small if you're automatically knocking 8 inches off of your measurements.
Everything I read about Guiliani, the more I dislike him. Dude was a lawyer for Purdue pharmaceuticals and helped them to beat government sanctions which allowed that company to continue sales of their highly addictive opioid, OxyContin.
He’s done two decent things in his entire life, 9/11 but at this point I don’t know whether he did anything at all or just the people of NYC are extremely resilient and bounced back despite him, and investigating the fat content of frozen yogurt being described as fat free
He did nothing at all except be there when it happened. Right place, right time kinda situation. Or wrong time, I dunno. It's also how Bush's approval rating shot up and helped his reelection. Before 9/11, he was turning out to be a lame duck. 9/11 was his big break.
See that's why I think he really does have dementia though. Dude was always an asshole a probably always a racist misogynist. But he used to be able to make a coherent statement and was reportedly a competent lawyer. Apparently he does not have anyone around him who can or will keep him from going on TV and making a further ass of himself.
And these are the kind of people Christians support and elect into office. Everyone involved in all of these cases are psychos and need to be driven from any and all public forums.
If you've ever gone to any type of private school near NYC then you know the Italian guidos and the Jewish guidos were in a constant shit-talk fest with each other
I am a straight guy and I don't want to know what anyone is doing in bed at night. Straight, bi, gay, whatever. There are so many other issues in my life that are more important than the size of some other dude's penis. I don't care and don't want to hear it. I am not trying to be a porn star, this does not concern me. Aside from that, be as fabulous or boring as you want in life, I don't care, more power to you. It makes my life more interesting, full and well rounded to know you. Even you boring ones.
But these guys seem to be obsessed and weird about it. Caught between trying to use the hatred towards these people to their advantage but coming off looking like total freaks. Or maybe they really are, all just total weirdos.
He sounds very, very much like how my ex-boss's father did when he was deep in the grips of alzheimers. So many odd, off the cuff comments, and just nonstop bizarre sexual commentary.
What transcript and who’s dick are you referring? Are you in the right place? What does this have to do with anything being discussed here? Don’t be a shit weasel
