Giuliani Laughs His Way Through Stephanopoulos Interview
YouTube ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/06/2018 9:38:58 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Interviewed by George Stephanopoulos on This Week today, Rudy Giuliani, lawyer to President Trump, laughed in response to several questions.

Clearly, Rudy wanted to show that neither he nor the President were concerned by the various allegations raised.

But have a look and see if you think this was an effective strategy on Rudy's part.

Rudy laughs his way through Stephanopoulos interview. Smart tactic, or overdone?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Democrats hate to be laughed at.

Especially Munchkin Democrats.

Good strategy but a bit overplayed.

Agreed: it seemed a bit forced to me.

Ridicule is the best tactic. From the Marxist playbook.

Giuliani’s laughing condescension went right over Steph’s head.

too rich

Agreed, humor/ridicule is a great tactic, but this struck me as a bit forced. Compare and contrast, for example, with Mark Steyn, whose humor seems to come more naturally and is therefore so effective.

I thought Stephanopoulos was supposed to have moved to Australia by now.

Fakenews. Video cuts to only the laughs.

I just couldn’t stomach more than about 30 seconds of it.

It is hard for me to consider someone exceptional for simply doing what is obviously the right thing. I suppose that is the way things are these days.

If I am not being clear enough I am saying that I don’t see Giuliani as exceptional for anything he has done or is doing.

Good ole Ruddy is the one that made sure all the scrap from the towers was shipped overseas toot sweet.

Not sure what a crime scene investigator would call that.

Well he didn’t laugh during most of it if you listened to the interview.

Frankly I found it entertaining that Stephanopoulos kept hammering about this gal. Why on earth would any reporter/jouranlist even take this gal on! What idiots!

I prepared the video. Yes, it was edited to show only the moments of Rudy’s laughter during a fairly long interview. Obviously he did not laugh non-stop. But I do think it fairly demonstrates the fact that the laughter was a conscious tactic that Rudy adopted.

Simple folks, even “Dumb” Democrats, all are dumb, can understand. POTUS, Donald J. Trump like hundreds of well off guys & gals, paid his lawyer a monthly retainer of $35,000.00.

With this monthly retainer, Trump approved his lawyer to take the necessary action, financial. if deemed necessary, to use these funds as needed, without consulting him, Trump!!! so, Trump was not aware that money had been paid out, for a long time before he Became aware of it. This type of transaction occurs daily...across the board. End of story.

Rudy should laugh at these criminal, Obama/Clinton, Democrat, Media, Buffoons. “LMAO”

He didn’t overplay it at all, this video is cut so many times you’d think it was making chipped beef!

I don’t watch any cable or network news programs, however, this video appears to have been heavily edited. With that in mind, I don’t find Rudy’s laughter forced. My impression is that he had a hard time trying to keep a straight face during the various questions Stephie threw at him, and to me, it was because he couldn’t help laughing at the intense facial features of Stephie. They’re laughable.
