In just about 20 years, Rudy Giuliani went from being America's Mayor to being America's A**hole. The litany of sleaziness is long; he's stiffed people out of money, he's ruined the lives of Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, he's apparently a serial sexual harasser, he's told lies by the bushel and, oh yeah, he has actively worked to subvert democracy.
In short, there are relatively few Americans alive today who are more worthy of some schadenfreude than he is. And so, we are pleased to announce that his election lies are about to cost him his second job in the span of a week. As we noted earlier this week, WABC has already dumped him and his $400,000/year salary. And now, Newsmax is about to do the same, costing Giuliani another six-figure salary (reported to be between $100,000/year and $150,000/year).
Both employers have warned their former/soon-to-be-former employee over and over that he needs to stop telling lies about the 2020 election, because they don't want to end up on the hook for a seven- or eight- or nine-figure judgment. And Newsmax has gone even further than that. Giuliani's show, America's A**hole Live, errr... we mean America's Mayor Live, isn't actually live. And in postproduction, the channel has been editing out his lies and conspiracy theories, so as to be able to broadcast something that won't get them sued. But apparently, they're tired of it. And since he apparently can't or won't change, this relationship, like so many others in Giuliani's life, is headed for a divorce.
While facing a series of judgments that he is entirely unable to pay, Giuliani has now been deprived of virtually every income stream he had—his various shows, his consulting firm, his legal practice. Soon, he'll have to make do on Social Security and selling Cameo videos for $300 a pop. And to think some people claim karma isn't real. (Z)
