Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani made shockingly racist comments about Haitian immigrants in an unhinged rant on Monday.

The ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump appeared on the Flyover Conservatives podcast on Rumble when asked about Trump’s claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating their neighbors’ pets.

Giuliani, 80, responded that Haitian immigrants “should not have been taken out of the jungle and placed in the middle of a small town in America,” and claimed that Haitians “lived 200 years ago.”

His comments have since been fueled by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, which maintains that Trump’s campaign is built on bigotry and dehumanizing rhetoric.

The former mayor is not part of Trump’s 2024 campaign, but said he voted for the former president when he went to the polls Thursday wearing MAGA crocodiles.

Giuliani stated on the podcast, which is presented as a discussion of current events “from a conservative Christian perspective,” who has known the Haitian population “back and forth” since he worked for former President Ronald Reagan and wanted to become a Catholic priest.

“They practiced voodoo,” he said. “And when they practiced voodoo, they killed domestic animals.”

He went on to claim that at least “half of them do,” as he argued that immigration officials are not vetting those entering the country.

‘They don’t accept people and say: “Haitian sir, are you one of those who kill animals or not? Do you practice voodoo?” They have no idea.

“So animals are getting hurt somewhere,” Giuliani said.

‘And look, I’m going to say this, it’s not their fault,’ he continued. ‘They lived 200 years ago. They shouldn’t have been taken out of the jungle and placed in the middle of small town America, that’s ridiculous. Or, in any case, the big cities of the United States.

‘These people are crazy about what they’re doing!’ Giuliani said. “They’re crazy.”

Trump’s campaign has previously faced backlash over the former president’s claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating pets.

But the Trump campaign has previously come under fire for the former president’s claims that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are “eating the dogs” and “eating the cats.”

‘They are eating, they are eating the pets of the people who live there. And this is what is happening in our country,’ Trump said during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.

ABC news anchor and debate co-moderator David Muir interceded to say that the city said there had been no credible reports of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community, but Trump doubled down.

“I’ve seen people on television,” he said. “People on TV were saying, ‘They took my dog ​​and used him for food.'”

Even before the debate, Trump – the first president since McKinley not to have a dog in the White House – posted AI memes on his Truth Social account that featured cats wearing MAGA hats. This was after his vice presidential candidate, JD Vance, seized on the allegations to build a narrative against immigrants and illegal immigration.

Some of the estimated 15,000 Haitians who have made Springfield their home since 2020 said they were considering leaving due to bitterness, DailyMail.com revealed, while others took to the streets in protest.

Giuliani was also criticized for his remarks at the Madison Square Garden rally, in which he stated that “Palestinians are taught to kill us at the age of two.”

Giuliani’s comments also came on the same day that the Trump campaign was doing damage control following comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico at a rally in New York City on Sunday.

During his speech, which campaign officials said was not approved ahead of time, Hinchcliffe referred to the US territory as a ‘floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.’

On Fox & Friends on Monday, spokesperson Karoline Leavitt claimed it was simply “a comedian making a bad joke.”

“Obviously, that joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or our campaign,” he added.

“And I think it’s sad that the media picked up on a joke made by a comedian, instead of the truths that were shared by the phenomenal lineup of speakers we had,” he said, placing the blame on the media. who Trump called the “enemy of the people” in his own comments.

‘And the crowd didn’t care, did they?’ Leavitt went on to note that the crowd “was a diverse group of people.”

“The prank fell flat, but the crowd was there because they know who President Trump is and they know he wants to be a president for all Americans.”

Senior advisor Danielle Alvarez also stated, “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”

But Giuliani was also criticized for his comments at that rally in which he stated that “Palestinians are taught to kill us at the age of two.”

They may have good people. “I’m sorry, I don’t take chances with people who are taught to kill Americans at two years old,” he said.

“I’m on the side of Israel, you’re on the side of Israel, Donald Trump is on the side of Israel, and they’re on the side of the terrorists,” Giuliani said of the pro-Palestinian protesters.

Since then he voted early in the presidential elections, telling the Palm Beach Daily News he voted for Trump to “save our country from what, in my opinion, has become a regime that has been modeled after a banana republic.”

He also stated that he still speaks periodically with the former president.
