Rudy Giuliani has fallen low in the four years since conducting a press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia, which kickstarted the former New York City mayor’s inglorious era of election denialism, indictments, lawsuits, disbarment, debt and bankruptcy.

It’s hard to imagine how the man once widely admired for leading his city in the aftermath of the 9/11 attack could fall any lower. It would take something like hosting a Nazi on his YouTube channel.

Which is exactly what Giuliani did on Aug. 23 following the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where Vice President Kamala Harris accepted her party's presidential nomination....

Rudy Giuliani may have lost his New York state law license this week for undermining the “integrity of this country’s electoral process” and misconduct that “cannot be overstated,” a Manhattan appeals court ruled.

But at one of New York state’s most notable colleges, Giuliani’s honorary law degree from the Syracuse University College of Law is still safely in the hands of the former New York City mayor and Donald Trump lawyer — for now, the school confirmed to Raw Story.

Syracuse University spokeswoman Sarah Scalese explained that the school’s University Senate voted in March to “recommend the university revoke Rudy Giuliani’s honorary degree” and “the Chancellor referred the Senate’s recommendation to the Board of Trustees for its consideration.”...

The Honor Code of The Citadel, South Carolina’s 181-year-old military college, states that cadets “will not lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do.”

“Mr. Giuliani’s effort to undermine the integrity of the 2020 presidential election has helped destabilize our democracy,” a DC Bar Association panel wrote last month in recommending Giuliani, who served as former President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, be disbarred. “The misconduct here sadly transcends all his past accomplishments.”...

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a central figure during Donald Trump’s presidency, stands accused of sexually assaulting an ex-employee.

He is also accused of offering to sell presidential pardons for $2 million each — he denies wrongdoing.

And that’s just last week....
