He fought the Italian mob because he was in the pocket of the Russian mob.
He shut down a lot of clubs and nightlife in NYC, basically ruined the underground scene there and left “clubs” to be bottle service for rich assholes.
He’s a fucking fascist piece of shit and he deserves to lose everything.
He used Cabernet laws to target gay clubs because he’s a homophobic prick.
…who also cross dressed for Trump in the 90s lmao
New York is incapable of hiring a mayor who doesn’t suck ass. That’s just what they do. It’s like asking why Louisiana or New Jersey elects corrupt politicians. It’s just a way of life.
Jokes aside, though, crime was way higher back in the 90’s and he was a prosecutor who was “tough on crime” even though he was friendly with the Russian mob. The police union (which is unusually political in NYC) was behind him. No one knew that one day, he would beclown himself every day for the rest of his natural life

He was elected as part of a white grievance reaction to having a black mayor.
Sooo… Like Obama & Trump but at the state level instead of the national level?
That’s why they’re buddies.
Piece of shit fascist. Fucking barricades on sidewalks. Anti everything. Hate that pathetic jackass. Always have. Never a hero. Just a decent attorney that did to the mob what nobody before him could. Then buildings fell on and killed all his friends and he went off the deep end.
It was said the only really dangerous place in NYC whole Giuliani was mayor was in between him and a camera, but that’s because he’s a narcissistic piece of shit, not because he improved NY.
I remember after 9-11-2001 he was hailed & praised & celebrated as a hero for the way he handled stuff and that was the first time I’d ever heard of him, so I figured he must obviously be a great guy but lately his name keeps popping up everywhere like he’s a horrible person and I never have any idea what’s going on . Politics is a bunch of blah-blah-blah.
Well, he was trump’s lawyer, so…
So you have literally no idea how he was as a mayor but you answered the question anyway.
When was Times Square rejuvenated? Was it during his watch?
I had read at some point after WW2 Times Sqaure slipped into seedy and run down with building owners on the brink of bankruptcy before efforts were made to reclaim the area from the places that were not desirable.
I wonder if he had any role in that?
I believe you’re thinking of Ed Koch.
No way! That place was a shit hole until after 9/11 when tourists started coming exponentially more, right ahead of the mass gentrification. In the 90s my mom would whoop my ass if she found out I was hanging out up there after school. Bloomberg capitalized on things and really Disneyfied midtown.
I don’t remember the exact timing, but I think it was either well under way or completely done by the time he took office.
You’re asking this on an extraordinarily left-wing site.
Surely you know what the answers are going to be. 😂
Reality has a left leaning bias so it’s not like they won’t get the correct answers.
Do you respect Rudy’s career?
Shitting your pants in court, doing a presser in a landscaping company’s parking lot and doing another with shoe polish dripping down his face shouldn’t have partisan opinions. The man is a buffoon. Nevermind all the sexual harrassment, “middle-manning” for Trump’s corruption, stochastic terrorism and espionage.
I couldn’t care less, I’m not even American.
But asking any sort of political question on here or on any social media is not exactly going to get you a balanced set of answers, is it? If you’re genuinely interested in the answer anyway.
Ugh. Are you British? U got a loicense to be on this late guv?
I’m here on the King’s orders.
