Former Overstock CEO Claims Fellow Trump Ally Rudy Giuliani Was 'Sh*t-Faced' Almost Every Night


By Colby HallFeb 8th, 2021, 10:33 am

Rudy Giuliani allegedly gets drunk quite often. This assessment comes from Overstock founder and former CEO, Patrick Byrne, who said the following in a recent blog post: “Almost every evening, and many early afternoons, Rudy was shit-faced.”

This detail comes at the end of a terrific Daily Beast deep dive that focuses on “Trump dead-enders,” the media and legal surrogates and advisors of former President Donald Trump following a failed effort to overturn the 2020 general election by any means necessary.

While he did not get the media attention that MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell received, Byrne played a central role in advising Trump’s ill-fated effort to overturn the election results. The end of the Daily Beast report features the following bon mot:

Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne became one of the strangest characters of the last days of the Trump administration, visiting the White House in December, dressed in jeans and a hoodie, scarfing down meatballs, and bickering with Trump’s legal team and administration officials, as he, Flynn, and Powell together pitched the then-president on their democracy-thwarting schemes. But now, with Trump’s dream of overturning the 2020 election in tatters, Byrne appears to be doing comparatively okay—and is blaming just about everyone else for President Biden’s win, turning his blog into the digital burn book of the Trump post-campaign. “Almost every evening, and many early afternoons, Rudy was shit-faced,” Byrne blogged recently. “That, and his podcasts, were the only guarantees in Rudy’s life.” (Byrne declined to comment on this story, saying he wanted to finish his blog series first.)
