Kerik led the NYPD through 9/11 before going to prison for tax fraud and joining Trump’s election denial movement.
Rudy Giuliani became visibly emotional while paying tribute to former New York police commissioner Bernie Kerik, who died Thursday at age 69.
The disgraced former New York City mayor audibly sniffled and appeared to be holding back tears at several points during Thursday’s episode of his “America’s Mayor Live” podcast, a segment of which was recorded just moments after Kerik’s death was publicly confirmed.
Describing Kerik as “my closest friend and my brother, who saved my life,” Giuliani said, “Actually, there was no one in my life who was braver than he was.”
“I was a better man for having known Bernie. I certainly was a braver man and a stronger man, and I wish my father had known Bernie because my father was the bravest man I ever knew,” he explained. “I don’t know what I’m going to do without him. Never expected this. I love him.”
A New Jersey native and Army veteran, Kerik was appointed by Giuliani to serve as New York’s police commissioner in 2000. He was hailed as a national hero after overseeing the city’s response, rescue and recovery efforts in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
