Rudy Giuliani tried to deny reports that he gave Donald Trump drunk advice on election night in 2020, but ended up only giving Diet Pepsi the endorsement it probably did not want or need.
During Monday’s sitting of the House committee hearings on Jan. 6, former Trump adviser Jason Miller said in a video clip that the former mayor of New York. was “definitely drunk” on election night when he told campaign assistants that Trump had to falsely declare victory.
“The mayor was definitely intoxicated, but I do not know his level of drunkenness when he spoke to the president,” Miller said.
Giuliani denied the allegations Tuesday morning in a tweet that has now been deleted in which he said the name of Trump campaign staffer Bill Stepien, who also testified that Giuliani said Trump should declare victory, even though ballots are still being counted:
“I’m disgusted and furious about the right lie by Jason Miller and Bill Stepien. I was upset that they were not prepared for the massive cheating (as well as other lawyers around the President) I refused all alcohol that night. My favorite drink..Diet Pepsi ”
Although Giuliani claimed he did not drink it on election night, many Twitter users were skeptical. Very skeptical.
One person defended Giuliani’s claim that he did not drink – sort of.
Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) Noted that Giuliani denied that he was drunk, but not the attempt to reverse the election.
And of course, many people thought about his supposed drink of choice.
Giuliani has previously faced accusations that alcohol has contributed to his erratic behavior in recent years.
Last August, he told NBC New York, “I’m not an alcoholic. I am a functioning – ” before I change direction in the middle of the sentence and with: “I probably function more effectively than 90% of the population.”
