Rudy Giuliani insists he drank Pepsi only on election night after claiming he was drunk

Rudy Giuliani again denied allegations that he was drunk on election night 2020, claiming that he refused all alcohol and instead chose his favorite carbonated drink – dietary Pepsi.

“I am disgusted and outraged by the true lie of Jason Miller and Bill Stepan. I was upset that they were not prepared for the mass fraud (as were other lawyers around the president) I CANCELED any alcohol that night. My favorite drink … Dietary Pepsi, “Mr Giuliani tweeted Tuesday morning.

The former mayor of New York attacked Liz Cheney after she said during the January 6 hearing that he was drunk on election night in 2020, while insisting that Donald Trump declare victory and demand that the vote count be stopped.

Mr Giuliani, Mr Trump’s former personal lawyer, angered the committee as Ms Cheney gave her opening remarks during Monday’s hearing.

“They don’t have a case,” he told Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief White House chief strategist who now hosts Real America’s Voice. “This is a continuation of a Russian secret agreement, a Ukrainian conversation – the millions of hours they have spent trying to find a crime against Donald Trump and cannot do so. They started this framework about five years ago. “

“It’s the same cast, Benny Thompson, and changeable [Adam Schiff]you will see [Eric] Swwell, not in the committee, but in the background, “he added. “Completely hysterical … Cheney, who came out of her depths.”

Mr Giuliani then asked the commission to investigate the baseless conspiracy theory that rebel Ashley Babbitt, who had been shot and killed by police while trying to enter a barricaded door in the US Capitol near lawmakers, had in fact been killed. from Antifa.

“The hearing that day did not bring us anything new,” Mr Giuliani said. “And it ignores the key facts – what about Ashley Babbitt’s death – tell me the number of Antifa members in this revolt.

“Five days after the riot, you presented unequivocal evidence to the FBI that Antifa had organized one of the major breakthroughs, that Antifa was involved in the assassination of Ashley Babbitt, that the cops had left the position so that people could enter. [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi’s office – the cops abandoned him two minutes earlier, “said Mr Giuliani.

Ms Cheney said during the hearing that Mr Trump “rejected the advice of his campaign experts on election night and instead followed the course recommended by the apparently drunken Rudy Giuliani to claim to have won and to insist to stop the counting of votes – to claim falsely everything was deceptive.
