Supermarket worker has been arrested after ‘assaulting’ Trump confidant Rudy Giuliani. Though images suggest it was a slap on the back, Giuliani is selling the incident on the eve of the primaries as a left-wing attack on conservative America.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said store clerk Daniel Gill, 39, attacked him in the back. “It was like a boulder hit my back,” Giuliani describes. In other media, he says it felt like someone shot him in the back. “It hurt a lot,” he says. In statements to police, Giuliani speaks of “redness, swelling and substantial pain in the back and left side of the body.”
“Luckily I’m a 78-year-old in great shape,” he added. “Otherwise I might have fallen and broken my skull.”
“How are you, motherfucker”
An altercation also took place during the incident. In Giuliani’s version, the supermarket worker started ranting about “killing women” and using “very dirty swear words.” “How’s it going, motherfucker?” the prosecutor clarifies.
The defense points out that the man has been working in the supermarket for four years without incident. He is also not known to the court. “He had no intention of hurting the former mayor,” his lawyer said. According to the defense, images clearly prove that it was a pat on the back. And despite Giuliani’s statements, he refused medical help after the ‘attack’.

Giuliani links the incident to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to review the Roe v. Wade ruling, which no longer guarantees the right to abortion in every state. Giuliani openly supports that decision, as does his son Andrew, who is angling for the New York state governor’s seat.
That was also the reason for Giuliani’s visit to the supermarket. He was there to promote his son in the Republican Party primaries. “These attacks on conservative America must stop,” he says. He sees a role for his own son Andrew for this. ‘He’s the only one America First-candidate, he stands for law and order’, says Giuliani afterwards in a video in which he elaborates on the facts for his own audience.
