Rudy Giuliani Melts Down in Live TV Clash with Piers Morgan: ‘Completely Unhinged, Abusive, and Out of Control’

In one of the most astonishing on-air meltdowns in recent television history, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani unleashed a chaotic, insult-laden tirade against broadcaster Piers Morgan during a fiery interview that quickly devolved into shouting, accusations, and utter humiliation.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Giuliani — once hailed as “America’s Mayor” for his leadership after 9/11 — shocked viewers with an explosive defense of then-President Donald Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric surrounding the George Floyd protests.

But what began as a political discussion spiraled rapidly into a personal, bitter war of words that left even seasoned broadcaster Piers Morgan visibly stunned.

Giuliani Defends Trump’s Most Controversial Comments

The 76-year-old Giuliani staunchly defended Trump’s infamous 2020 tweet referring to violent protesters as “thugs” and ominously warning that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” — a phrase widely condemned for its racist history.

Giuliani, deflecting criticism, accused the media of twisting Trump’s words, prompting Morgan to fire back: “Oh, stop banging on about left-wing journalism, Rudy.

 I’ve written more fairly about Donald Trump than anybody.”

What followed was a disastrous and cringe-inducing exchange that showcased Giuliani’s combative and increasingly unhinged demeanor.

“What Happened to You, Rudy?”

As Morgan challenged Giuliani’s narrative with direct quotes and facts, Giuliani grew visibly agitated, interrupting, shouting, and accusing Morgan of lying.

“You are disgraceful,” Giuliani sneered.

Morgan, maintaining his composure, delivered a cutting rebuke: “What happened to you, Rudy? You used to be one of the most respected people in America.

 Now you just sound completely barking mad.“

Giuliani, refusing to back down, launched into a full-throated attack on Morgan’s career, claiming he lost his CNN show due to poor ratings and even appeared to mutter an expletive on air — a moment that forced Morgan to apologize to viewers.

“You Sound Completely Barking Mad”

As the interview careened further into chaos, Giuliani declared the conversation over, ranting about a “phony political narrative” and dismissing Morgan entirely: “I have no respect for you.“

Morgan delivered the brutal closing line that would go viral within hours: “You sound completely barking mad, do you know that?”

Giuliani shot back, “No, I don’t,” doubling down on his defiance.

A Sad Fall From Grace

Many viewers were left stunned at the dramatic collapse of a once-revered public figure into what can only be described as televised self-destruction.

Social media erupted with disbelief at Giuliani’s behavior, with many echoing Morgan’s sentiment: “This isn’t the Rudy Giuliani we used to know.“

Following the broadcast, Morgan clarified on Twitter the controversy surrounding Giuliani’s alleged use of profanity: “Many thought he said ‘f—ed up’, others ‘sucked up’ — whatever it was, it summed up the interview: rude, obnoxious, offensive, and completely out of control.“

Giuliani, true to form, offered no apology and appeared indifferent to the international backlash.

Final Verdict

Rudy Giuliani’s disastrous appearance on Good Morning Britain will be remembered not for defending a president — but for publicly torching what little remained of his own credibility.

Once a symbol of strength and resilience, Giuliani now finds himself the poster child for political self-destruction, live on international television.

As Piers Morgan summed it up best: “It’s really sad to see what’s happened to you, Rudy.“
