Last week Giuliani was ordered to pay retribution of $148 million to the victims, which led him to declare bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Giuliani continues to repeat his false claims, stating that “Everything I said about them is true.” This is not the only time Giuliani has been brought into court.

Some of those statements included comments about Jews, including demeaning insults about Jewish men’s sexual prowess. In those tapes, Giuliani also criticized Jews for their celebration of what holiday?
