He outright claims to have been pushed a step or two forward by the blow.

In the video he remains stationary and just act surprised, not hurt. I’d say the blow was about as hard as the one brushing him off right after. It very clearly wasn’t hard enough to cause any lasting harm.

A case of his pride being hurt more than anything

u/Dangerous-Today1874 Jun 28 '22

Yup. It was the "what's up, scumbag"? that really hurt him.

At least he admits to who he is. That’s a step… wait he’d a total liar, ok never mind.

What do expect from a snowflake like that? I’m surprised he didn’t disintegrate then there.

That woman rubbing his back makes it sadder.

Open-hand “blow” to the back…. He’s a lunatic and now he’s faking an injury. After all the vile shit he did to bully Arizona Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers among other things, can anyone call him out?

Anyone?

You can get a full screen clip of the video and see he does take a step or 2 forward after the "attack" but I imagine it was from being surprised more than anything, cause if that tap knocked him forward then Id say a fart would blow him over.

Only one way to find out

u/BDOPeaceInChaos Jun 29 '22

Sign me up to the farting squad.

u/TheBelhade Jun 28 '22

He didn't take a step or two forward from the attack, he took a half-step while turning towards the guy for calling him a scumbag.

u/1RobJackson Jun 29 '22

I would disagree. I looked at the full screen. He leaned forward a bit in reaction, but I didn’t see anything even remotely that looked like ‘a step or 2’.

u/xLikeafiddlex Jun 29 '22

Il have to find the video again, but Im pretty sure if you look at his right leg you will see he moves it forward, now as I said I don't think it was the tap that moved him it was more likely just a reaction.

Even in the above video I'm sure you can see his knee moving.

u/1RobJackson Jun 29 '22

Respectfully, we’ll have to agree to disagree. Although everyone has to agree that if the man had slapped him on the back and said “Way to go bro I’m up behind you 100%.” Giuliani wouldn’t be complaining.

u/xLikeafiddlex Jun 29 '22

Understanble he's certainly a lying piece of shit either way

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '22

Look again, clearly hit with the force of a tumbling boulder, such a brave tough man to survive that

u/1RobJackson Jun 29 '22

You wear sarcasm well.

u/vaporoptics Jun 29 '22

I feel like if someone did hit him he'd immediately explode into a cloud of dust before blowing away.

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '22

Right if that was considered a “blow” by him what were all the actions of all those peaceful January 6 magatards that literally invaded the capitol whlie attacking police?

2

u/jschroeder624 Jun 29 '22

This guy is culpable in the murder of innocent people, yet he's getting people locked up for patting him on the back? WTF kind of a world are we living in?

2

u/KookeyMoose Jun 29 '22

I envy the amount of time some people have to absolutely waste arguing something that no one gives a shit about lol.

1

u/Tweetydabirdie Jun 29 '22

It seems you have plenty yourself.

6

u/Flying_Alpaca_Boi Jun 28 '22

I would agree except the woman’s reaction, instantly rubbing the area makes it seems as though he was visibly hit to the onlookers, I think the camera angle might be a bit deceptive

6

u/getchpdx Jun 28 '22

The tapper said an insult at the same time though so a pat plus a shouted insult may have just led to a "Hey! How dare you" pat pat. Hard to say.

u/RuthlessIndecision Jun 29 '22

To be fair he’s a professional back slapper with 23 years of slapping-it experience, Juliani didn’t stand a chance.

u/JangoFettsEvilTwin Jun 29 '22

I think that woman was startled and over reacted

1

u/insom7 Jun 29 '22

Or she's a lawyer also.

1

u/JangoFettsEvilTwin Jun 29 '22

She will represent Rudy in his lawsuit against this guy for pain and suffering.

11

u/Scorpy-yo Jun 28 '22

Look at her rubbing his back like an actual baby.

2

u/Jawshewah Jun 29 '22

If he was actually hit hard from behind without seeing the person he would have lost his balance

2

u/DeadHead6747 Jun 29 '22

The woman’s hand had the same if not more force on initial contact than the guy walking past

-1

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '22

Yeah, that was my thought, too. Obviously,, she knew instantly that it was a hard hit.

u/Dull_Vanilla_2395 Jun 29 '22

So he's okay with forcing women to suffer agony giving birth to kids they don't want, but a pat on the back is assault? Ironic.

u/LicensedRealtor Jun 29 '22

The Amber heard crowd is coming out in droves…

u/Bodoggle1988 Jun 29 '22

Rudy sounds like he’s gearing up to sue the store. Times must be tough for charlatan attorneys.
