Rudy Giuliani insults, shushes Fox News' Howard Kurtz during interview
The Rudy Giuliani cable news whirlwind continued on Sunday.
The former New York City mayor, who now serves as President Trump's personal lawyer, got a little hostile with Fox News host Howard Kurtz during an interview. Giuliani, unsurprisingly, was very focused on former Vice President Joe Biden's connection to Ukraine, and he didn't have much patience for Kurtz's questions on the matter, especially when they hinted at the possibility that Biden and his son Hunter might not actually be guilty of corruption.
Giuliani said Kurtz should be ashamed of his journalistic practices.
