Rudy Giuliani
Role at the time: Statement issued by an unnamed spokesperson for Rudy Giuliani, as quoted by WABC
Challenged the characterization
Responding to
Zohran Mamdani administration's release of post-9/11 air-quality and health records
"attempting to score cheap partisan political points"
Why we used this label
The representative disputes the characterization of local officials' responsibility and defends Giuliani's administration. This is reported representative speech, not a verified direct quotation spoken personally by Giuliani.
