Disgraced former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was reportedly slapped by a ShopRite worker Sunday while campaigning for his son, Andrew Giuliani, who is in a Republican primary race for governor, according to The New York Post.
The report states that Giuliani was slammed in the back by an unidentified ShopRite worker in Staten Island. The incident reportedly left him shaken.
Eyewitness Rita Rugova-Johnson told the news outlet: “I was shoulder-to-shoulder with Rudy inside ShopRite. We’re talking, and all of a sudden an employee came out of nowhere and open-handedly slapped him in the back and said, ‘Hey, what’s up, scumbag?’
According to The Post, the worker was arrested without further incident at the store. His charges and identity were not revealed by the police.
The controversial election litigator was also subject to ridicule for his unwitting appearance in the 2020 film Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, in which was lured into a hotel bedroom on the pretext of an interview by a conservative news outlet. The scene led to an uncomfortable confrontation with actress Maria Bakalova as it appears to be heading toward a sexual encounter, but ends with Borat running into the room and shouting at Rudy “She’s 15. She’s too old for you.”
