Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City Mayor, has unveiled a new venture: his own coffee brand. Currently facing bankruptcy and a $148 million debt, Giuliani has been promoting his "Rudy Coffee" on social media, where reactions have been mixed. The coffee comes in three flavors, each named to reflect different aspects of Giuliani's persona: "America’s Mayor Rudy" (a morning blend), "Fighting for Justice Rudy" (a bold java blend), and "Enjoying Life Rudy" (decaf). Each two-pound bag costs $29.99 and features various images of Giuliani. He claims the coffee is "smooth, rich, chocolatey and gentle on your stomach," and encourages customers to drink it black. He highlights that purchasing the coffee supports not only his business but also "the cause of truth, justice, and American democracy." Despite his sales pitch, social media users have been skeptical, with some mocking the venture. The launch follows Giuliani’s suspension from his WABC Radio show for promoting unfounded theories about the 2020 election and a recent indictment related to his attempts to overturn the election results in Arizona. He has pleaded not guilty. Additionally, Giuliani filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay a $148 million civil judgment for defaming two Georgia election workers.
