Kicking off Friday morning, "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough ridiculed the defense former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's lawyer presented in their closing statement in the Georgia poll worker defamation lawsuit trial, with Scarborough agreeing with the attorney's contention that his client is deluded.
With Giuliani expected to see damages approaching $40 million going to Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, over accusations they committed voter fraud, Scarborough laughed that the best defense Giuliani's lawyer could offer was "He's crazy."
"I think the more interesting thing is what basically is the Roberto Duran defense in Rudy Giuliani's case yesterday where the -- where Rudy's defense lawyers basically went, 'No mas, he's crazy. He's a flat-earther. What do you want us to do?'" Scarborough laughed.
"I mean not even much of a defense," he continued. "I mean, the guy, I think, is going to be financially ruined because he's lied about these two workers, their lives were put at risk. time and time again."
"Giuliani would go out, say terrible things about the court, say terrible things about them, but, again, his own defense attorneys repeatedly called him a flat-earther. Basically said he was crazy, couldn't help himself," Scarborough added before sharing a picture of a particularly crazed-looking Giuliani and joking, "I mean, looking at that picture, who in the world would come to that conclusion?"
