Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump’s former personal attorney who led the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, slammed rapper Eminem for taking a knee during the Super Bowl halftime show and urged him to leave the country.
“Let’s get right to Eminem taking a knee,” Giuliani said during his radio program on Monday. “Why doesn’t he go to another country? I mean, go take a knee someplace else. You know how many cops were defending him and protecting him at that game yesterday? I mean crime is way out of control in Los Angeles.”
Giuliani also accused the NFL of making a “mockery of law enforcement, particularly with its support for the cop-killing Black Lives Matter.”
He also took aim at Snoop Dogg, mocking his rapping style and referring to him as “Snoop ‘kill police’ Doggy Dogg.”
Eminem knelt after performing “Lose Yourself” at the SoFi Stadium on Sunday, a gesture to former 49ers quarterback and activist Colin Kaepernick, who led kneeling protests in 2016 during the national anthem to bring attention to police brutality and racial injustice.
