Donald Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani says God is sending a message to “communist states” like New York using earthquakes.
Giuliani, a former New York City mayor made the comments during his America’s Mayor Live show on Friday.
“We were in the communist state of New York and then we were in Connecticut and we just escaped all the earthquakes then we got to Massachusetts which probably had some earthquakes and we got to New Hampshire where there were no earthquakes which is telling me that somebody’s sending us a message,” Giuliani said.
“The communist states are getting earthquakes. Look at California. You can’t have more earthquakes than California,” he continued. “You want to figure out why?”
Giuliani added that his comments would result in him being called a conspiracy theorist by “Marxist automatons” who “don’t have a sense of humor.”
Giuliani’s remarks comes after a rare 4.8 magnitude earthquake sent shockwaves throughout New York City and the surrounding area on Friday. The quake’s impact was felt in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Tremors were also felt in Maine and Washington D.C. People in Connecticut also reported feeling the quake as well as an aftershock.
Republican congresswoman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) similarly argued that the earthquake and the upcoming eclipse on Monday are signs from God to “repent.”
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), said the epicenter of the earthquake was near Whitehouse Station in New Jersey, less than 7 miles from Donald Trump’s National Golf Club in Bedminster.
