Per Wiki
Giuliani has been married three times. On October 26, 1968, soon after he graduated from law school, he married his second cousin, educator Regina Peruggi, whom Giuliani had known since childhood. In the mid-70s the marriage was in trouble and in 1975 they agreed to a trial separation.[112] Peruggi did not accompany him to Washington when he accepted the job in the Attorney General's Office.[113] Giuliani met local television personality Donna Hanover sometime in 1982, and they began dating when she was working in Miami.[114] Giuliani filed for legal separation from Peruggi on August 12, 1982.[112] Giuliani and Hanover started living together later that year in Washington, D.C.[114] The Giuliani-Peruggi marriage was ended in two ways: a civil divorce was issued by the end of 1982,[115] while a Roman Catholic Church annulment of the Giuliani-Peruggi marriage was granted at the end of 1983[112], according to Giuliani, because he discovered after 14 years of marriage that he and his wife were second cousins,[116] rather than third cousins,[113] and they did not have the Church dispensation thus needed.[117] Giuliani and Peruggi did not have any children.So the end of the first marriage occurred before Rudi came to NY, and when he met Hanover he was already separated from Wife 1 for around 7 years
you know, personally, I wouldnt marry any woman in which her name and cousin could be uttered in the same sentence and in reference to the other...
as in,”Hi, meet my wife and (second)third cousin ______, we’re happy to be here.”
With Judi waiting in the wings, public records show then-Mayor Rudy actually called a press conference to publicly announce his separation from his second wife EXCEPT THAT HE HAD NOT BOTHERED TO TELL HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN BEFOREHAND THAT HE WAS DUMPING THEM FOR JUDI.
Public records show Rudy publicly announced to the press his separation from his wife who had no inkling Rudy was dumping her and his children out into the streets.
At that time, Rudy, the married father of two children, was taking Judi, his mistress, to cancer treatment sessions. He never bothered to tell his wife about his illness, and probably his children did not know, either.
Finally, Rudy, then married and the father of two, decided he could not live without Judi closeby; Rudy connived to bring Judi into the Mayoral home (on the spurious claim that Hanover wasn't helping him through cancer treatments---an illness he had not even bothered to tell his wife about).
In a callous, vindictive move even for a visceral liberal, public records show Rudy publicly announced he wanted to "divide the mayoral mansion" in two----one side for his wife AND one side for Judi---which was nothing but a transparent ploy to force his wife and children out into the streets.
Public documents indicate Hanover was forced to go to court to declare Gracie Mansion a "marital home" so as to exclude Judi. The judge acquiesced to Hanover's plea.
Thwarted but not defeated, Rudy moved in with a happily civil-unioned gay couple while his wife fended off Rudy's relentless efforts to ditch her and their two children.
On Mother's day 2000, married Rudy, the father of two children, publicly paraded Judi up and down Second Avenue for newspaper pictures, pics his children could not fail to see.
The evilness of a father's betrayal of his own wife and children astonished even blasé New Yorkers.
Giuliani's vendetta against his wife and children was still not sated.
Public documents indicate Rudy cut the security detail to his wife and the mother of his children, thus endangering her......but Rudy did provide government security to Judi who had no official duties (unless you consider getting Rudy sexually blitzed an "official duty".)
How can someone be the front runner for President when marrying a 3rd cousin is OK but a second cousin is not. Anyway you look at it, Giuliani does not have the moral character to be President. p.s. neither did Clinton.
