Shocking verdict against Rudy Giuliani serves as a warning shot for Donald Trump

On Friday, a jury in Washington, D.C., spoke for fairness, the rule of law and everyone who is ready to stand up to the cruelty and deception of the MAGA crew.

After a weeklong trial, the jury ruled that Rudy Giuliani has to pay up. The former mayor of New York now owes $148 million for the damage his lies caused two Georgia women, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss. In the weeks after the 2020 election, he had widely broadcast false accusations that the two election workers had stolen ballots under the table in Atlanta’s election center and changed them from Trump votes to Biden votes.

No, Rudy Giuliani can’t pay anything close to a $148 million judgment. That isn’t the point.

Juries have long been thought of as the conscience of the community, and the jury in the Giuliani case sent a powerful message to two courageous women, to America and to Trump. The Giuliani jury did its civic duty just like Freeman and Moss had done theirs.
