Former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani accuses George Soros of socialist plot “to destroy America” during TV rant

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.”
