Eminem Responds To Rudy Giuliani




Now this was funny.

Rudy Giuliani took exception to Eminem taking a knee during the Super Bowl halftime show, and suggested that he should leave the country. I always find it ironic that people like Giuliani, who will claim to love the freedom that we are supposed to have in this country to express ourselves, then turn around and tell people to "love it or leave it," essentially, when they actually do express themselves (and peacefully, at that). 

By now, everyone in America - and perhaps many around the world - are aware of the trend of professional athletes taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem at sports events. This spread to other venues in the public domain. During the Super Bowl halftime show, Eminem also took a knee, and there was debate which followed regarding why he did that. Some suggested that it was not a protest, and had no significant relevance, a position which seems unrealistic and designed to try and undermine the meaning of such a protest. Others seemed supportive. Then, there are those who are opposed to these protests regardless of who does it or what it is supposed to mean. Obviously, Trump people are among this group, and there are few people as invested in Trumpism than former New York mayor, and former Trump legal advisor, known best for some ridiculous incidents while attempting to prove to the public - and notably, not in the legal courts, where false accusations could have serious consequences - that there indeed was massive voter fraud, and that Trump and his team were illegally robbed of another term. 

Yes, Giuliani clearly was not pleased with Eminem and this protest. He responded in predictable fashion, the kind where someone like him asks "what the hell is going on in this country?" Then, in another typical stance, he basically suggested that if Eminem does not like it here in America, he can move to another country. Love it or leave it. Very original. Also, meant to shut down discussions or debates, rather than actually seriously examine some major issues and perhaps do something to at least work to try and resolve them. Heaven forbid!

So here was a song done in response to Giuliani.

No, this was not actually Eminem singing or anything. However, it was funny. Funny enough to feel like it was worth sharing here.

Hope you enjoy it!
