Rudy Giuliani’s status at WABC radio unclear after battling bosses over 2020 election conspiracies
NY Post
Former Big Apple Mayor Rudy Giuliani continued to grouse Monday that he was “fired” from his WABC radio show for refusing to stop peddling 2020 election conspiracy theories — but station owner John Catsimatidis says no official decision on his employment status has been made.
“I never fire anybody without having a sit down, and an understanding of what went wrong,” the billionaire grocery store magnate told The Post Monday.
Earlier in the day, Giuliani wrote on X, “Unfortunately, you won’t hear from me on WABC today, because I was FIRED for refusing to give in to their demand that I stop talking about the 2020 Presidential Election,” urging followers to contact the station to “ask them if they support free speech.”
The ex-mayor was suspended from the station without pay Friday after ignoring multiple formal warnings from the station to avoid the topic and making it clear he had no intentions of following the edict.
Giuliani, 79, went on a “stolen election” tirade during the final three minutes of “The Rudy Giuliani Show” Thursday, in direct defiance of a company-wide edict “not to state, suggest or imply that the election results are not valid,” according to Catsimatidis, who runs Red Apple Media.
He then spent days blasting Catsimatidis during livestreamed broadcasts on X, accusing him of stifling his free speech and kowtowing to President Biden.
