Rudy Giuliani tweeted a video glorifying police and soldiers on Wednesday, the 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, and critics reacted with horror.
Giuliani, who is now President Donald Trump’s attorney, was the Republican mayor of New York City during the 2001 al-Qaida attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. A law and order executive over two terms in office, his leadership following the tragedy won him national acclaim.
On Wednesday, Giuliani started tweeting about Sept. 11 before 1 a.m. New York time, pledging to “never forget 9/11.” Over the next 10 hours, he shared a series of photos and videos about the tragedy and retweeted posts praising his service at the time.
