People on Twitter unleashed their devilish sense of humor after Rudy Giuliani said he could explain to St. Peter why “He lied for Trump” might be his epitaph.
Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s lead attorney in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, was discussing the impact his defense of Trump might have on his own legacy.
“I am afraid it will be on my gravestone: ‘Rudy Giuliani: He lied for Trump,’” the former New York mayor told The New Yorker in an article posted Monday. “Somehow, I don’t think that will be it. But, if it is, so what do I care? I’ll be dead. I figure I can explain it to St. Peter. He will be on my side.”
Giuliani said he was joking, and denied saying anything “untruthful” as a lawyer. But some folks believed his imagined chat with St. Peter could never happen, or suspected he’d be heading toward a different address in the afterlife.
@RudyGiuliani You ain’t going anywhere near St. Peter. 🔥 https://t.co/dfImdN70nZ

St. Peter with Rudy at the gate: “I really haven’t heard that argument before, Mr. Giuliani!” Please wait a moment.”

St. Peter makes a phone call: “Hello, Jesus? I know you’re super busy, but you just HAVE to hear *this* one!”
Giuliani's first question to St Peter will be "Why is it so blasted hot here in heaven?" Then, "And why are you wearing red?"#EndTheShutdown#TraitorTrump

It’s gonna be a short conversation...

Giuliani: “Hello.”
St. Peter: “Nope. Downstairs. Next!”#Trump https://t.co/WQIUkV7Rei
Giuliani isn’t going to be having conversations with St. Peter because Rudy won’t be heading in that direction. . . .

Something tells me that Giuliani will be interviewed by Beelzebub vice St Peter

Somehow, I don’t think St. Peter is the entity @RudyGiuliani will be explaining things to. 😈

@RudyGiuliani Maybe you can tell St. Peter where you and Trump stashed that 10 billion dollars. The Dutch are coming. https://t.co/caMwNfm13P

@RudyGiuliani St. Peter won’t be where you’re going....#ExplainToSatan he’ll be waiting for you!

@RudyGiuliani crazy, decrepit Giuliani, has no soul, already sold it to the devil, maybe he has to explain it to satan, I doubt St Peter will hear him.

"Say WHAT???"

So @RudyGiuliani is okay with having a crap reputation on earth? Liars don't get to see St. Peter. #DantesInferno
