US elections: Rudy Giuliani’s daughter backs Biden, attacks Trump in trial

The daughter of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has publicly criticized her father and revealed that he is voting for Joe Biden in a scorching personal essay.

Caroline Giuliani shared details about her relationship with her father, US President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, including claims that they had political arguments when she was a child, who she said was not “emotionally equipped” to drive.

In the essay, published in Vanity Fair on Thursday, he calls the Trump administration “toxic” and his presidency a “reign of terror,” and calls his father, the former mayor of New York, the “president’s personal bulldog.” .

“If being the daughter of a polarizing mayor who became the president’s personal bulldog has taught me anything, it’s that corruption begins with the ‘yes-men’ and women, the cronies who create an echo chamber of lies and submission to keep your power close. “

“We have seen this ad nauseum with Trump and his cadre of high-level sycophants (the ones who weren’t convicted, anyway),” he wrote.

Giuliani said she began having discussions with her father around the age of 12 “before I was emotionally equipped to handle such carnage.” Rudy Giuliani is the former Deputy Attorney General of the United States and is famous for his prosecution of top crime bosses for the American Mafia in the 1980s. He also ran New York during the 9/11 terrorist attacks when he was nicknamed ” the mayor of the United States. “

“It was disheartening to feel how little power I had to change my mind, no matter how logical and beyond my reach my arguments,” wrote her daughter. “He always found a way to justify his party line, whatever it was at the time.”

She wrote when “she tried to explain [her] “About gay marriage” belief, I clearly remember that he responded with an intensity appropriate for an opposition politician rather than a son. “

He said he was not sharing the anecdote to “complain” about his privileged upbringing, but to explain his “strained” relationship with politics.

“It takes persistence and courage to find my voice in politics, and I am using it now to ask you to support me in the fight to end Donald Trump’s reign of terror.”

She said it was linked to a “desperation to escape corrosive political discourse,” and said she was exposed to “cruel and selfish policies” as a child.

“It made me want to run as far away from them as possible. But believe me when I say: Running away doesn’t solve the problem. We have to stop and fight.

“The only way to end this nightmare is by voting. There is hope on the horizon, but we will only see it if we elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.”
