Rudy Giulianis Rant About Haitians And The Jungle Could Be His Most Disgusting Yet

Donald Trump's former attorney also admitted that the debunked claim that Haitians were eating people's pets "may not be true."

Rudy Giuliani of truth isnt truth infamy this week went on a shocking rant against Haitian immigrants who are living legally in Springfield, Ohio.

Giuliani said they shouldnt have been taken out of the jungle.

On the Flyover Conservatives podcast, the former New York City mayor and onetime personal attorney for Donald Trump admitted that debunked claims pushed by the former president and his running mate, JD Vance, about Haitian immigrants eating Springfield residents pets may not be true but had done the job of bringing attention to immigration concerns.

Giuliani then claimed to know the Haitian community backwards and forwards from his time in Haiti negotiating when I worked for Ronald Reagan, something similar to stay in Mexico.

After a riff on the practice of animal sacrifice in Voodoo and the eating of animals, Giuliani suggested of the immigrants, though, its not their fault.

Then came the shocking statement:

They live back 200 years ago. They just shouldnt have been taken out of the jungle and placed in the middle of small town America. Thats ridiculous. Or big town America, for that matter. These people are insane, what theyre doing. Theyre insane.

The campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris shared the moment on X , formerly Twitter. (See above.)
