Donald Trump was not alone in inciting last Wednesday’s armed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

In a rally just before a MAGA horde stormed the halls of Congress, Trump’s lawyer — disgraced former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani — provoked the mob with a call for “trial by combat.”

Then, just hours later — with the Capitol building barely cleared of Trump’s seditious invaders — Giuliani left a voicemail intended for Senator Tommy Tuberville (a Trump diehard, and former college football coach, newly elected to the Senate from Alabama).

Except Giuliani called the wrong number and actually left his message with a different senator, who leaked it to the media.

Here’s some of what Giuliani said:

“Senator Tuberville? Or I should say Coach Tuberville. This is Rudy Giuliani, the president’s lawyer. I'm calling you because I want to discuss with you how they’re trying to rush this hearing and how we need you, our Republican friends, to try to just slow it down ... I know they’re reconvening at eight tonight, but ... the only strategy we can follow is to object to numerous states ...”

Rudy Giuliani abetted Donald Trump in inciting the Capitol insurrection and then continued trying to overturn the election even as members of Congress were still reeling from having their workplace invaded and their lives threatened.

Join Public Citizen in demanding that Rudy Giuliani be disbarred and investigated for any crimes he committed related to, or in the aftermath of, the insurrection he helped spark.

Add your name.

Thank you for taking action.

For justice,

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen

P.S. For half a century, Public Citizen has been advancing policies that put the needs of everyday Americans before the greed of billionaires and Big Business. That legacy of progress and that ongoing work could not matter more right now, as our nation transitions to a Joe Biden presidency that will be as progressive as we — you and Public Citizen, together — make it.

Of course, we’re also busy undoing damage the Trump administration has already done and watching out for whatever shenanigans a lame-duck Donald Trump tries to get away with. And — like so many nonprofits and small businesses — we continue to experience financial strain related to the coronavirus pandemic.
