Wack job Rudy Giuliani is getting a medal for his service to Trump

Election conspiracy theorist and disgraced former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is set to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Donald Trump.

The award, which is the highest civilian honor bestowed by the U.S. government, rewards Giuliani for his years of loyal service to Trump, marked by the promotion of crackpot theories, the failed legal fight to overturn the 2020 election, and dangerous quack science.

“I am pleased to announce that Rudy Giuliani, the greatest Mayor in the history of New York City, and an equally great American Patriot, will receive THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, our Country’s highest civilian honor,” Trump wrote on his social media account on Monday.

Trump’s announcement comes a day after Giuliani announced that he had been hospitalized following a car crash in New Hampshire.

Is that Trump's way of making up for the money he owes him?

It used to be a great honor, but if you have to share that honor with the likes of Rudy Giuliani, Rush Limbaugh, Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan, it's just a participation trophy.
