WABC Radio suspends Rudy Giuliani for flouting ban on discussing discredited election claims
Rudy Giuliani has responded to a report he’s been suspended from WABC Radio and had his daily show canceled over his violation of a ban on discussing discredited 2020 election claims
NEW YORK (AP) — Rudy Giuliani responded Friday to a report he's been suspended from WABC Radio — and had his daily show canceled — over his violation of a ban on discussing discredited 2020 election claims, saying the station's ban is overly broad and “a clear violation of free speech.”
Giuliani issued a statement saying he had heard of WABC Radio owner John Catsimatidis' decision through “a leak” to The New York Times.
Giuliani “left me no option,” Catsimatidis told the Times, saying that the former New York City mayor had been warned twice not to discuss “fallacies of the November 2020 election.”
"And I get a text from him last night, and I get a text from him this morning that he refuses not to talk about it,” the Republican businessman, who has fundraised for Donald Trump, told the newspaper. Catsimatidis told The Associated Press he was on air when reached for comment, and did not immediately reply to subsequent messages.
