Giuliani Attributes His 'Intoxicated' Election Night Meddling To His Love For Diet Pepsi

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Trump advisor Rudy Giuliani is known for follies such as asking the ex-president for a pre-emptive pardon and pushing baseless claims that Dominion voting machines were rigged. For his latest trick, The Daily Beast reports that Guiliani is saying he couldn’t possibly have been inebriated as former Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller claimed in his Jan. 6th committee testimony because “he loves Diet Pepsi.”

I have never seen any amount of soda push someone to tell a sitting President to declare victory before an election is decided. During the second Jan. 6th committee hearing, former Trump campaign chairman Bill Stepien and Miller alleged that the former N.Y. mayor had too much to drink during election night. The edited video also alleges that Guiliani said former President Trump should reject his aides’ advice and “declare victory and say we won it outright.”

During his testimony before the committee, Miller was asked if there was “anyone in that conversation who, in your observation, had had too much to drink?”

“Ah, Mayor Giuliani,” Miller replied.

1. Giuliani and other cons NEVER tell the truth UNLESS their ass is on the line.

Otherwise never!

7. Still?

Always is more like it.

If a GQP thug said that it was raining, I'd go outside to double-check it.

4. Well, I've been railing against diet soft drinks for decades now.

Looks like I was right in ways I didn't realize.

to liking Pepsi zero when I tried it recently, though I typically go for Diet Coke.

8. Diet Pepsi would make a lousy cocktail

Diet sodas hardly ever work for cocktails, but Diet Pepsi would be especially nasty. Something is off about it in relation to alcohol. Too flat and sweet for what it is, maybe.

Back when I drank regular soda, I was okay with Pepsi, but it never tasted right in cocktails compared to Coke.

10. Yes, and I felt the urge to pierce my ears after four Dr.Peppers...

The little opal studs at Claire's was just to tempting in my then altered state.
Damn caffeinated fizzy drinks do it all the time.
