Is it 1994? New York City is in turmoil, rife with corruption and crime and Rudy Giuliani is considering running for mayor to save the city. Sound familiar? If you’re old enough to remember New York City in the 80s or the early 90s, you know how bad things got and how much work it took Giuliani to clean the city up and make it a desirable tourist destination and an attractive place to live again. After Bill DeBlasio sacrificed Guiliani’s hard work to the woke gods of the Democrat Party. When asked recently by the New York Post about a potential run for mayor, Giuliani said, “Everyone running for mayor looks like they’re from Red China. They don’t look American. I’m concerned about the city becoming a Democratic dictatorship.”
Rudy Giuliani is exploring running for New York City mayor next year, political insiders say — and the disgraced ex-Hizzoner isn’t outright denying it.
Giuliani, reached by The Post on Sunday at his Palm Beach, Fla. home, said, “I’m not going to say never, ever, ever.”
Still, he said, as of now, “I’m not running for mayor.
“But then there are a lot of people who want me to run for mayor,” he said. “But it’s unlikely.”
Giuliani, 80, was a Mafia-busting federal prosecutor before serving as Gotham’s mayor from 1994 to 2001, earning the nickname “America’s mayor” for his leadership after 9/11 — and then spectacularly falling from grace.
These days, he is busy fighting a $148 million judgment and facing two criminal indictments for allegedly interfering in the 2020 election. He has already been disbarred from practicing law in DC.
Giuliani said Sunday that the idea of him running for mayor might not be so far-fetched, even if he hasn’t officially thrown his hat in the ring.
He cited the alleged corruption in the Adams administration and said the other likely candidates for mayor are dangerously far-left.
“Everyone running for mayor looks like they’re from Red China. They don’t look American,” the ex-mayor said. “I’m concerned about the city becoming a Democratic dictatorship.”
“The only time since Fiorello LaGuardia a century ago that city government was honest was under me and Mike Bloomberg,” he said. “If you don’t have a Republican or independent mayor, you will have corruption at City Hall.”
A few weeks ago, Giuliani acknowledged his elderly age.
“I am 80 years old with a bad knee and 9/11 related lung disease,” he said at the time.
Still, he worked the crowd at the Oct. 27 Madison Square Garden Trump rally when he came out to cheers of, “Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! We love you, Rudy!”
