Cleveland – Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani defended presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s character Monday, saying he’s “sick and tired” of efforts to defame him.
Delivering an impassioned prime-time speech at the Republican National Convention, Giuliani strayed from his prepared remarks to chastise the media and stress that Trump “is a good man”
“I am telling you this because I am sick and tired of the defamation of Donald Trump by the media and by the Clinton campaign. I am sick and tired,” he said. “This is a good man.”
Americans, the former mayor added, are sick and tired of what he called a “vicious, nasty campaign.”
“You deserve to know this about your next president, he’s been a great father, father-in-law, grandfather and friend to me, my wife Judith and our family for now almost 30 years,” he said. “I know him personally, and this is a very good and decent man and he will be a great president.”
Giuliani further took jabs at expected Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, saying while her experience is the basis for her campaign, it’s “exactly the reason she should not be our president.”
“Washington needs a complete turnaround and Donald Trump is the agent of change and he will be the leader of the change we need,” he said. “He will make America, like the president I worked for Ronald Reagan, once again be the shining City on the Hill.”
