Former New York mayor and top Trump ally Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized, a spokesman announced Sunday on X.
Giuliani, who will turn 82 later this month, is in critical but stable condition,spokesman Ted Goodman wrote. President Donald Trump blamed his condition on Democratic opponents Giuliani encountered while working as Trump’s personal attorney.
“What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Big Left, ALL Democrats – AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday. “They cheated on the Elections, they made up hundreds of stories, they did everything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. It’s very sad!”
Giuliani rose to national prominence while serving as mayor of New York City after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. But his public image was tarnished by his work on behalf of the president. Giulianiit faced serious consequencesfor his efforts to overturn the 2020 election after Trump lost to former President Joe Biden. He waswas rejected in Washington, DCandNew Yorkcharged with crimes in Arizona and Georgia andsuccessfully sued for nearly $150 millionfor defamation against two Georgia election workers.
last year,Trump awarded Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
“Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he is fighting with the same level of strength as we speak,” Goodman wrote. “We ask that you join us in prayer for America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani.”
