Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani ripped New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in a speech on the last night of the Republican National Convention and cautioned Americans that voting for Joe Biden would mean "lawlessness" for the United Staes.
"In 2013, my city elected a progressive Democrat as mayor. New York City, once described as America's crime capital, had become by the mid-1990's America's safest large city. Now today, my city is in shock," Giuliani said. "Murders, shootings and violent crime are increasing at percentages unheard of in the past. We're seeing the return of rioting and looting.
"During riots, this Democrat mayor, like others, has often prevented police from making arrests. And even when arrests are made, liberal, progressive DAs [district attorneys] release the rioters so as not to disrupt the rioting."
Giuliani warned against allowing this same crime to spread throughout the country.
"Don't let Democrats do to America what they have done to New York. Again, the Democrats are urging you to vote for an obviously defective candidate."
"Biden has changed his principles so often, he no longer has any principles," Giuliani said. He referred to Biden as a "Trojan horse" who will implement the "pro-criminal, anti-police policies" of Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Black Lives Matter once he gets elected.
Giuliani called the 2020 election "a choice between the Democrat policies, soft on crime, against the Republican program of law and order."
"It is clear that a vote for Biden and the Democrats creates the risk that you will bring this lawlessness to your city, town or suburb," Giuliani said. "It can come to where you live."
In the end, he called on President Donald Trump to bring order back to the United States.
"Mr. President, make our nation safe again," Giuliani said.
