Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani accused Jewish financier George Soros, who is often the target of antisemitic conspiracy theories, of “wanting to destroy America” during a rant in a TV interview on Wednesday.
According to Mr Giuliani, Mr Soros, a hate figure for American right-wingers, wanted to “destroy America so we become socialists” and that it was “all part of a socialist theory to bring down this country.”
Mr Giuliani went on to allege that Mr Soros supported the “rewriting of history” by taking down statues, saying: “That’s what Lenin did; that’s what Mao did…that’s exactly what Mao did. China doesn’t have a history anymore.”
