Rudy Giuliani, now part of President Donald Trump’s legal team, gave a wild interview to Sean Hannity on Fox News Wednesday night that set Twitter on fire.
The former mayor of New York City admitted that the president repaid attorney Michael Cohen the $130,000 sent to porn star Stormy Daniels as part of a nondisclosure agreement. In addition, Giuliani claimed former FBI director James Comey was fired for refusing to say Trump wasn’t under investigation. Giuliani also said former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should be in jail and that Comey should be prosecuted.
Twitter had some thoughts:
TRUMP: Go on Hannity but don’t say anything incriminating
— Jason O. Gilbert (@gilbertjasono) May 3, 2018
GIULIANI: I got you
[on Hannity]
Look, everyone admits the President colluded BIG TIME. No one’s denying that, Sean

One thing I think we’re going to find out is that, if you’re going to hire a horrific living skull-headed monster to represent you legally, Rudy Giuliani is not the horrific living skull-headed monster to hire.

Tonight’s lesson: You can still self-immolate in a safe space.

It's really clever how the Deep State got Rudy Giuliani to show the world that Trump and Cohen lied about the payment to Stormy Daniels. And it used @seanhannity for this operation. Fiendishly smart!

Congrats to Rudy Giuliani on accidentally setting his desk on fire on the first day of work

None of you took Rudy seriously when he said he was going to end this thing in two weeks.

Hannity: has Trump got you on retainer?
— m i t h (@ManInTheHoody) May 3, 2018
Rudy Giuliani: Nah, we both have dentures.
Hannity: I mean retainer as in retainer for a lawyer.
Rudy: Who's a lawyer?
Hannity: You're Trump's lawyer.
Rudy: That's crazy, that dude is guilty af.
Hannity: you're not suppo

Never would I have guessed that the President’s mortal enemies would be Rudy Giuliani, Sean Hannity, Fox News, his own personal physicians, and himself.

Rudy Giuliani is as good at lawyering as Dennis Miller is at Michelle Wolf jokes.

With friends like Rudy Giuliani and Sean Hannity, who needs special prosecutors?

OK, fine. I admit it. Rudy Giuliani is secretly working on behalf of #TheResistance. His retainer fee was paid by the Deep State. Sure, Rudy’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he’s not THAT dumb. Clearly, everything he said on Fox News was INTENDED to hurt @realDonaldTrump.

Giuliani: Boy it’s hot in here, I’m gonna take my shirt off
— popular comedy account “the pixelated boat” (@pixelatedboat) May 3, 2018
Hannity: Rudy, you don’t have to do that...
*Giuliani removes shirt, revealing a t-shirt printed with the words “Trump Sold Heath Ledger The Drugs That Killed Him”*
Michael Cohen: “I’m arguably the dumbest lawyer in America.”
— R. Chase Brindisi (@RBrindisi12) May 3, 2018
Rudy Giuliani: “Hold my beer.”

rudy giuliani is the guy who doesn’t need to be told to put his own oxygen mask on before helping others.

I am glad the world is able to see what a total dickhead all decent New Yorkers have known Rudy Giuliani to be for years.

Rudy Giuliani never got his hush money.
