The host of the morning show "Good Morning Britain" wanted to question the lawyer and ex-mayor of New York on a tweet from the president published on May 29, in which Donald Trump said "When the looting begins, the shooting start ". The tweet, which was later censored by Twitter for apologizing for the violence, is part of the clashes between demonstrators and police officers that broke out in several American cities, after the death on May 25 of the African-American George Floyd, 46 years old. , suffocated in Minneapolis by a white police officer.

The discussion has turned sour

"You misinterpret it, you deliberately misinterpret it," protested Rudy Giuliani, when the presenter said that the American president "should never have said that".

The presenter criticized the lawyer for being blinded by his support for his client. The interview then degenerated into a heated argument and the exchange of personal attacks, Rudy Giuliani shouting that the presenter was a "liar" with "shameful" remarks, the latter accusing in return his guest of having become "completely crazy "and" violent ".

The images of this heated argument then quickly went around the web, with social network users having fun for some to see the American lawyer lose his temper. Others supported the lawyer for Donald Trump, praised for having stood up to a presenter known for his aggressiveness.
