Rudy Giuliani quoted and re-enacted a scene from “My Cousin Vinny” — the 1992 Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei comedy — during a press conference on Thursday, using the movie as an entry point to make baseless accusations of crimes committed by President-elect Joe Biden.
The former mayor of New York City called the film one of his favorite law movies because Pesci’s Vinny Gambino (or is it Joey Callo?) is from Brooklyn. He described the scene where a witness in the murder trial claimed she saw the defendants from 100 yards away, but when she puts on her ultra-thick glasses, she can’t tell how many fingers he’s holding up from just half the distance.
