Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Rudy Giuliani for His “Boneheaded Idea” that Trump Won 2020 Election

Jimmy Kimmel went in on Rudy Giuliani on Monday’s (June 13) episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, mocking the former New York City mayor and Donald Trump attorney for his drunken antics on election night in 2020. While addressing the ongoing Jan. 6 hearings — which Kimmel jokingly referred to as “Episode 2 of CSI: Can’t Believe Donald Trump’s Not In Jail Yet” — the late night host zeroed in on Giuliani’s role in the insurrection.

While “every reasonable person in his orbit told [Trump] he’d lost,” Kimmel said, Giuliani told the former president he’d won, news he shared after allegedly downing some drinks.

“Remember how Trump came out at 2 a.m. and declared victory, even though FOX News had already said he’d lost? Well, we finally learned where he got that boneheaded idea,” Kimmel told his audience, adding that an “apparently inebriated” Giuliani told Trump to say he had won the election.

He quipped, “The way you can tell Rudy is drunk is his breath smells more like booze than cigars and cat turds for a change.”

After playing a clip of testimony from senior adviser to the Trump campaign, Jason Miller, who claimed Giuliani was drunk when he told Trump he had won, Kimmel said, “Okay, so Rudy was drunk. The big question is: What’s Donald Trump’s excuse? He doesn’t even drink. I mean, this testimony from his lawyers, his staffers, his campaign advisers, his own family — there are really only two options here: Either Donald Trump was lying and committed multiple crimes trying to strong-arm an election, or he’s off his frickin’ rocker. I guess it could be both.

“Everyone told Trump he lost, but he didn’t want to hear that. He wanted to hear what Rudy Giuliani told him, and how would Trump know Giuliani was drunk? I mean, does this seem like a drunk person to you?,” Kimmel asked, before rolling a compilation of footage showing Giuliani exhibiting what can only be described as questionable behavior.

“Right, I mean, how would you know?” Kimmel said with a chuckle at the end of the segment. “I think if we had video of everybody in this audience over their entire lives, we couldn’t put something together like that.”
