Just hours after former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was told to immediately pay the massive $148 million bill he was hit with in a defamation ruling, he was on his show touting bizarre Christmas decorations made out of empty vitamin bottles.
The ex-New York City mayor was told Wednesday he must pay Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss immediately after an earlier ruling set the damages for defaming them with claims that they helped rig the 2020 election count in Georgia.
But later that evening, he was on his livestreamed program America’s Mayor Live touting Balance of Nature supplements, the proceeds of which he said could “help me fight the traitors.”
Telling listeners to take the supplements — which the Food and Drug Administration has flagged for “the company’s claims that its products could be used to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent diseases such as cancer, heart disease, cirrhosis, diabetes, asthma, and COVID-19” — he got into the holiday spirit with ideas of how to use the bottles when they’re empty.

“This one’s going on the tree now,” he said, holding up a Balance of Nature bottle with a wire hook that looked like a bent paper clip in it. He added that the supplements are also “wonderful as a stocking stuffer.”
Giuliani has been associated with Balance of Nature for several months, plugging the company on his show and in social media and taking part in commercials promoting the products.
