‘She was born a woman and she’ll stay a woman!’ NY gubernatorial hopeful Andrew

New York gubernatorial hopeful Andrew Giuliani said he was going to be the last guy in a long time ‘to look under his baby daughter’s hood’ and ‘she’s gonna stay a woman’ at a campaigning rally in Long Island.  

The son of embattled Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani made the comments, branded distasteful and transphobic on social media, at an event over the weekend organized by the far-right group Long Island Loud Majority (LILM).

‘So I have changed the diapers. I have looked under the hood. She’s a woman. I’m gonna be the last guy in a long time that looks under the hood right there.

‘But guess what? She was born a woman and she’s gonna stay a woman, it’s that simple,’ he said outside the LIRR Bellmore train station. 

Giuliani added that he would be his four-month-old daughter’s ‘only boyfriend’ until she is 25 years old.

The 36-year-old, who served as a special assistant for Trump, was in Long Island making yet another bid for the state’s highest office, with school-board groups in attendance to the event.    

His comments come at a time of extreme political turmoil in the US over polarizing commentary and policies on transgender issues in schools.    

Giuliani and his Lithuanian business executive wife Zivilė Rezgytė welcomed daughter Grace Jusefa Giuliani in November after the couple wed in 2017.

‘Grace Juzefa Giuliani gave Zivile and I the greatest joy we could ever imagine when she was born to us yesterday,’ the new father tweeted in November. 

‘Happy Birthday to our little Angel and thank you to all the family and friends who have prayed for us and have welcomed our wonderful baby Grace into the world!’  

Over the weekend, Giuliani said about his daughter: ‘[She] made a promise to me on the first day, right? My wife was sleeping, and I’m holding her [my daughter] in my arms.

‘And I get emotional thinking about it, but she made a promise with me. She shook my hand and I said, “I’m the only boyfriend till you’re 25 years old, shake hands.”  

The rally was organized by the far-right group LILM, which has hosted school-board meetings screaming matches, and admitted to taking 300 of its members to the US Capitol on January 6. 

None of the members entered the building or were on the premises of the Capitol at the time of the riot.

Giuliani’s father, Rudy, was mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001 and joined former President Donald Trump ‘s personal legal team in 2018 and helped argue claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election

Giuliani first announced his bid for the Republican primary in May 2021, but received zero votes in a June straw poll. However, the younger Giuliani was not deterred by the lack of support and has continued to rally across the state. 

He’ll either need to receive 25 of the weighted vote at this year’s GOP nominating convention or get thousands of petition signatures to get on to the ballot before June.

Rudy Giuliani has said that his son is a natural governor because ‘he was born knowing how to fight crime.’

The younger Giuliani’s bizarre comments over the weekend are not the first controversy the younger Giuliani has faced. 

In June 2021, he was caught in a cringe-worthy spat with a TikTok personality known as ‘Crackhead Barney’ over his stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Rudy Giuliani, who is facing a plethora of legal charges over alleged attempts he aided Trump to overthrow the election, has said that his son is a natural governor because ‘he was born knowing how to fight crime’

‘I’m running for governor. I’m standing for Israel today,’ Giuliani said.

‘Are you gonna be like your daddy?’ the TikTok star asked.

‘I want to see a New York where you have Israel that is respected,’ Giuliani said. 

‘I hate your father, I f***ing hate him!’ retorted Crackhead Barney.

‘That’s okay,’ responded Giuliani while those around him appeared to take offense.   

Giuliani’s entourage then proceeded to shout ‘F*** you!’ at the TikToker while the candidate managed to remain calm throughout.

‘You want to know the beautiful thing about the United States of America?’ Giuliani asked. ‘You can stand and say that. Unfortunately in Palestine you can’t. You’d be beheaded.’  

The younger Giuliani said in early 2021 that he felt confident he’d run as a GOP candidate against now-disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo.

Instead, Trump ally Lee Zeldin led the way with 85 percent of the vote in a June straw poll, while 2014 candidate Rob Astorino received 5 percent, according to Democrat & Chronicle. 

While the straw poll doesn’t eliminate Giuliani from consideration, it gives him an uphill climb to force a primary with Zeldin.   

The junior Giuliani served for four years as a White House aide to Trump and became outspoken after his father’s New York City apartment was raided by the FBI to seize laptops and cellphones related to an investigation against him.   

Giuliani’s campaign website explains of his time in the White House: ‘He then joined the Trump administration as Associate Director of the Office of Public Liaison in 2017.

‘In 2019, he was promoted to Special Assistant to the President. His role consisted of working with high-level business leaders and CEOs to help President Trump and his Cabinet Secretaries craft policy, specifically including the 2017 tax cuts, the deregulation of businesses of all sizes, and was proud of his work on the Opioid task force.’

‘In his final year at the White House,’ his bio continues, ‘Andrew was directly involved with several initiatives that saved millions of American jobs amid the coronavirus pandemic.

‘He collaborated with the Department of Treasury and business leaders to craft the Paycheck Protection Program and worked to vet and shape President Trump’s Great American Reopening Committee.’

The candidate said the gubernatorial race will be another ‘Fight of the Century’, and is confident he can knock out veteran GOP competition in Representative Lee Zeldin and current three-term incumbent Democrat Governor Cuomo. 

A Republican has not won a statewide election in New York since the mid-1990s, when George Pataki denied the current governor’s father, Mario Cuomo, a fourth term as New York governor. Pataki served three terms until 2006.
