President Donald Trump announced that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom award, and the meltdown from the left is going to be incredible.
In a post on X on Monday from the White House, it said that Giuliani will be given the nation's highest civilian honor that can be awarded.

"As President of the United States of America, I am pleased to announce that Rudy Giuliani, the greatest Mayor in the history of NYC, and an equally great American Patriot, will receive THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, our Country's highest civilian honor…," President Trump wrote.
"Details as to time and place to follow," the post added. "Thank you for your attention to this matter. Make America Great Again!"
As you can imagine, the reactions to Trump's news were mixed, with many very excited saying it is "well deserved," while others were clearly not.
That’s huge—Rudy Giuliani getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom is justice. The man took on the mob, cleaned up New York, stood tall on 9/11, and never stopped fighting for America. The swamp mocked him, tried to bury him, even after he’s in the hospital with a fractured…

"That's huge—Rudy Giuliani getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom is justice," one proponent wrote. The man took on the mob, cleaned up New York, stood tall on 9/11, and never stopped fighting for America. The swamp mocked him, tried to bury him, even after he's in the hospital with a fractured back, and Trump turns around and honors him as the legend he is. That's loyalty. America's Mayor deserves it more than half the frauds who ever touched that medal.”
While a critic added, "What a [...] joke. First, Trump gives the award to the godfather of propaganda, Rush Limbaugh.... now Defamer Rudy Giuliani, who lies about two citizens for his boss."
The news broke less than 24 hours after reports surfaced that "America's Mayor," Giuliani, had to be hospitalized after being seriously injured in what authorities are calling a "freak car accident."
Now 81 years old and still active, he was injured in New Hampshire on Saturday night after stopping to help a "female victim of a domestic assault who flagged down Mr. Giuliani's auto," as my RedState colleague Ward Clark reported.
The report read:
Giuliani, 81, was hospitalized with a fractured vertebra and multiple cuts and bruises, including injuries specifically to his left arm and lower leg, after his rent-a-car was hit from behind, spokesman Michael Ragusa said Sunday.
"Mayor Giuliani was flagged down by a woman who was a victim of domestic violence prior to the accident. He rendered assistance and contacted 911, remaining on scene until responding officers arrived to ensure her safety," said Ragusa, Giuliani's head of security.
Clark's report went on to point out that we don't know what happened, but it's a fair guess that the former NYC mayor's "car was struck by a motorist who wasn't paying sufficient attention."
"The accident occurred after he re-entered his vehicle, which was then hit from behind at high speed."
Ragusa said Giuilani, who was mayor from 1994 through 2021 (Note: 2001), is recovering and in good spirits.
"The mayor is in great spirits. He's a beast. He survived 9/11," Ragusa said.

He pointed out that not a lot of other information is available yet as to what happened, who the person was he was helping, or who was driving the vehicle that struck him.
"Mayor Giuliani's condition continues to improve, and he is expected to be discharged from the hospital within the next few days," Ragusa said in a statement to Fox News on Monday. "This is a man who survived 9/11—so a little car accident won't be slowing him down. He is eager to return to business and continue fighting for this country, as he has proudly done for the past 50 years."
At the time of this publication, the New York Times reported some great news: Giuliani had been released from the hospital to continue his recovery.
