NYC Radio: Rudy Giuliani Belligerent Over Suspension

Ex-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani claimed Talk Rado 77WABC radio canned him from his daily show to appease “trailer trash little creep” President Biden — accusing the station of harboring a hostile work environment, according to the NY Post.

The once-beloved “America’s Mayor” blasted station owner John Catsimatidis as a hypocrite who touts the right to free speech while stopping Giuliani from “telling the truth” about the “stolen” 2020 presidential election.

“What John Catsimatidis has done is disgraceful. With the pretense that he was building some kind of a First Amendment station, he blew a hole in the First Amendment that’s so big you can’t even find it. You can’t tell somebody not to talk about the 2020 presidential election and tell me that you have a respect for free speech,” Giuliani said on his “America’s Mayor Live” show on X Friday night.

“Isn’t that a test? All the good people are the ones who want to speak and the bad people are the ones who want to stop people from speaking. Nobody can really learn about it … And isn’t it a hell of a time to stop me from doing what I’ve been doing for 3-and-a-half years — just when they may be preparing to steal another election?”

Hours earlier, he was cut from the station’s “The Rudy Giuliani Show” for allegedly violating a company-wide policy “not to state, suggest or imply that the election results are not valid.”

However, billionaire supermarket mogul and station owner Catsimatidis told The Post late Friday that Giuliani had been slapped with a written warning just a day before to avoid the topic of a stolen election — a disproven conspiracy.

Instead of complying, the disgraced former mayor fired off a text declaring his intention to ignore “every order” in the letter, which he rebuffed as “overbroad.”

“I had no choice but to suspend him. What media company wouldn’t suspend him based on that?” Catsimatidis said on a call shortly after Giuliani’s fiery X broadcast.

“I said to him, you’re suspended, let’s sit down and talk on Monday, and then he went berserk on us.”

The mogul said that once they told the ex-mayor that he wasn’t allowed to go on the air for his 3 p.m. show, he became “belligerent.”

Asked whether Giuliani’s actions after learning of his suspension could lead to him being fired, Catsimatidis said, “We’re meeting on Monday to decide what our next step is.

“Most likely the suspension will be permanent based on what he’s doing tonight.”
