Thread: Everyone saying, "Giuliani used to be America's Mayor after 9/11. What happened to him?" Those of us who lived in NYC then knew he sucked. He basically told us to go shopping. AND - firefighters died because of his horrible planning....

2.) In 1998 the NYPD opposed plans to put the emergency command center IN the WTC but Rudy's administration overrode those objections. The command center collapsed in the 9/11 attack. https://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/26/us/politics/26emergency.html

3.) Firefighters didn't die just because they were in a burning building. It's because their radios weren't up to speed, preventing them from hearing evacuation orders. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/story%3fid=3881195&page=1

4.) "They also contend Giuliani rushed cleanup work and misled people about air quality at Ground Zero, where recovery workers, including Riches, say they contracted illnesses." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=3881195&page=1

5.) "But a major national union representing firefighters — the first responders who suffered devastating losses on 9/11 — is now going all out to rebut his stalwart reputation." https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/cq/2007/07/12/cq_3065.html

6.) Rudy was not loved by the FDNY. This "America's Mayor" was as much PR bullshit as Trump being a great businessman on the Apprentice.“Rudy Giuliani has used a horrible event, Sept. 11, 2001, to create a carefully crafted persona,” IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger.

7.) (cont) ......“What Rudy portrays is not a full picture of the decisions made that led, in our view, to the unnecessary deaths of our FDNY members and the attempt to stop the dignified recovery of those lost."

8.) F*** Giuliani, now and forever.
