Rudy Giuliani Takes a Tumble at the Republican National Convention
Rudy Giuliani crashed into a row of chairs and then tumbled to the floor of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, dislodging a cherry-red Donald Trump sign from the seat as he went down.
The disgraced attorney, former mayor of New York City, and fervent Trump supporter, was holding an Osmo camera and continued filming after bystanders pulled him to his feet. The Trump ally has been live streaming the convention for his Rudy Giuliani Show since the RNC kicked off in Milwaukee on Monday.
It’s no surprise that Giuliani is hyping up the Trump and J.D. Vance veepstakes announcement over his livestream. The New Yorker has been a darling in MAGA world due in part to his willingness to spread Trump’s false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, which cost him his right to practice law in the state earlier this month.
Rudy Giuliani is here at the Republican National Convention and tripped and fell on the floor.
He was helped up and seemed to be OK. He was holding an Osmo camera and continued filming once he was back on his feet.

A Manhattan appeals court had already suspended his license in New York in 2021 for spreading false statements, determining that Giuliani had “flagrantly misused” his position as legal advisor to then-president Trump, and had “baselessly attacked and undermined the integrity of this country’s electoral process.”

Trump chimed in on that decision too, calling it a politically motivated “witch hunt,” a term he frequently uses to describe his legal cases.
