Slapped?

Axios stop sharing fake news. No one was slapped.

I have no problem charging the person with assault as long as you are consistent in your charges when the NYPD does this and much worse to people. How was this assault when they literally choked Eric Garner to death? What? You thought we forgot?

They got the wrong guy. The suspect’s short, bald, +/- 80 y/o and is wanted for defrauding the United States, orchestrating a coup, inciting a violent riot at the US capitol, continuing to spread dangerous misinformation, and being a nasty pervert.

Thoughts and prayers

That was a pat on the back. Not a slap. Rudy overreacting

love tap

No he wasn’t. We’ve seen the video.

the headline is fake news

Pray for Rudy

UPDATE: The NYPD said a 39-year-old suspect will face a second-degree assault charge after Rudy Giuliani was slapped on the back at a Staten Island grocery store today

Wimp

Lovely non violet Democrats.

Slapped is a strong word.

Midly patted on the back should be the headline.

That was generous calling that a slap. More like a gentle pat.

I am waiting for FOX trot to twist this video and spurt some lies

I would never slap him. You might get hair dye on your hands

This is clickbait. He wasn’t slapped. Watch the video.

*patted

Not what happened. Please fix.

I hope the authorities arrested whoever assaulted the Mayor.

the VIOLENT left

How is this 'a slap'? Guy looks like he was really happy & said hello & probably a fan of when he was the Mayor. I can't believe Rudy is pressing assault charges on him.

IN THE FACE? MY GOODNESS

LMFAOOOO

That's a lie.

I'm sure the person that slapped him was just a friendly tourist.

We should never condone violence. Why is he out and about anyway? The last couple years of attacking our democratic process and inciting an insurrection with his lies? Surely, an indictment must be in his future.

Ask Chris Rock

I guess back-slapping pols are a thing of the past?

😂

“Slapped” is a massive overstatement

He wasn’t slapped, somebody patted him on the back. Stop with the hyperbole and drama.

Ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani Assaulted By Grocery Store Worker In Staten IslandControversial former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was assaulted by a ShopRite worker Sunday while campaigning for his son’s gubernatorial bid in the city’s Staten Island borough… Trial by combat. lol I’d never ever condone this. Ever. But imagine being “America’s Mayor” at one point - admired by so many. And then hitching your wagon to Donald Trump who has left an endless trail of ruined lives behind him like dirty tracks of a garden slug. Trump just draws out the darkness.

I don’t advocate this but I sure would have loved to have seen it. Maybe the person saw Clairol hair dye running down his face and tried to clean it off it was a little rough in doing so.
