Rudy Giuliani’s radio show on WABC was canceled and he was suspended for refusing to stop spreading lies about the 2020 presidential election.
“We’re not going to talk about fallacies of the November 2020 election,” WABC Radio owner John Catsimatidis told The New York Times. “We warned him once. We warned him twice. And I get a text from him last night, and I get a text from him this morning that he refuses not to talk about it.”
“So he left me no option. I suspended him,” Catsimatidis said.
In a statement on X/Twitter, Giuliani said he was fired by Catsimatidis and WABC “for refusing to comply with their overly broad directive stating I’m, ‘prohibited from engaging in conversations relating to the 2020 Presidential Election.’”
“This directive is a clear violation of free speech,” Giuliani said. “WABC’s decision comes at a very suspicious time, just months before the 2024 election, and just as John (@JCats2013) and WABC continue to be pressured by Dominion Voting Systems and the Biden regime’s lawyers.”
Giuliani is a vocal proponent of the big lie that there was widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election that cost Trump a second term in the White House, and he is paying a steep financial price.
Giuliani filed for bankruptcy last year after he was ordered to pay two former Georgia election workers $148 million for defaming them by falsely claiming they committed fraud to help Joe Biden in 2020.
He is also being sued by voting machines companies Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems for defamation. Dominion reached a record $787.5m settlement with Fox News last year over its broadcast of election fraud lies.
