ADL Slams Giuliani for Claiming He’s ‘More of a Jew’ Than Soros: ‘Baffling and Offensive’
The Anti-Defamation League on Monday strongly rebuked Rudy Giuliani, calling the Trump attorney’s assertion that liberal philanthropist George Soros is “hardly a Jew” a dog whistle to anti-Semites.
In an interview with New York correspondent Olivia Nuzzi, the former New York mayor—just back from another Ukrainian mission to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden—claimed that former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was “controlled” by Soros. “He put all four ambassadors there. And he’s employing the FBI agents,” Giuliani declared in remarks nearly identical to pro-Trump lawyer Joe diGenova that recently sparked backlash from Jewish organizations.
“Don’t tell me I’m anti-Semitic if I oppose him,” Giuliani later said in the booze-soaked interview. “Soros is hardly a Jew. I’m more of a Jew than Soros is.”
