“This was the worst election in American history,” Giuliani said at the time. ‘She was stolen. That’s why we must take revenge, to save our republic.’ He kept claiming high and low and without any evidence that Trump was the rightful winner of the election. Giuliani talked about massive fraud with voting machines in Georgia, among other things. The voting machine company Dominion Voting Systems is demanding $1.3 billion in damages.
