During a wild, sometimes humiliating hearing in Michigan on Wednesday — part of the Donald Trump campaign’s antidemocratic attempts to overturn the 2020 election despite the fact that he lost badly to Joe Biden — Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, had some peculiar thoughts about what is going on in the country.
Specifically, Giuliani claimed that the people opposed to what he’s doing are being mean, and that as he sees it the Republicans have the opposite problem: “Maybe sometimes we’re too nice. Maybe sometimes we’re too decent.”
The quote came after an extended rant in which Giuliani exemplified decency by demanding that Michigan state legislators ignore every single other part of the state government that has repeatedly certified Joe Biden’s victory, and the will of the state’s citizens, and simply declare Trump the winner despite the fact that he lost.
