Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani painted a grim picture of NYCs future attacking everyone from his successor Bill de Blasio to members of the Black Lives Matter movement in a divisive and racially charged speech in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday.
Harkening back to when he first ran for mayor in the late 1980s, Giuliani said, "Crime was way out of control ... You couldnt walk at night.
Were going in that direction right now, if were not already there, he added.
Cast as a speech on restoring safety, the event was light on policy and heavy on personal attacks.
