As he campaigned for Donald Trump in Youngstown, Ohio, he completely omitted the worst terror attack in US history when he said no attacks happened under President George W. Bush.

Given Giuliani’s frequent invocations in public appearances of his experience as mayor during 9/11, reporters immediately noticed when he said that the threat from terrorist groups “started” when Obama took office in 2009.
The internet, of course, immediately took note of Giuliani’s horrific gaffe and began tweeting up a storm in response.
Rudy Giuliani appeared to forget – or ignore – the tragedy of 9/11 while speaking at a rally for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Monday.
Giuliani was meant to introduce Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in Youngstown, Pennsylvania on Monday.
This is the same line of argument that Jeb Bush, the former president’s brother and Trump’s erstwhile primary rival, used in his own failed campaign against Trump.
Giuliani was up on the podium at the rally in OH to introduce Trump and make the case for him to win the White House in the 2016 presidential election in November.
One tweeter wrote, “Disgusted that Rudy Giuliani is so anti-Obama that he is willing to dishonor the memory of those lost during 9/11”. After the 1994 conviction of the bomber, Giuliani lauded the USA court system, saying the conviction “demonstrates that New Yorkers won’t meet violence with violence, but with a far greater weapon – the law”. When almost 3,000 lives perished on 9/11, though, his composed response made him popular enough that he ran for president himself in 2008.
Earlier in Giuliani’s speech, he mentioned September 11 when he asserted that George W. Bush kept America safe from terrorism after that attacks.

I am so relieved to learn from Rudy Giuliani that 9/11 never happened. “I hardly would. I nearly died in it”. Also blames him for every sinus attack in the US. “I think about it every day”.
