Rudy Giuliani 9/11 Sex Joke: Listen To Former NYC Mayor's 'Locker Room' Talk At Trump’s Inauguration Luncheon

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani was among hundreds of Republican lawyers at a luncheon for the presidential inauguration when he made a joke about a former president, 9/11 firefighter, and another man’s wife Thursday. He referred to the off-color anecdote as “locker room” talk.

Giuliani, incoming President Donald Trump’s advisor, was speaking at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C., for a $350 per plate lunch when he told a story about a ride he took heading to the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan with former President George W. Bush on Sept. 14, 2001 --- just a few days after the worst terror attack on U.S. soil, recordings showed.

“In the same car with me was my fire commissioner, Tom Van Essen,” Giuliani told the crowd in a recording published by the Intercept. “And Tom had lost what turned out to be 343 firefighters. And President Bush recognized him from seeing him on television the prior two days. And he leaned over to Tom, grabbed his arm, and said to him, ‘Tom, I’m so sorry. How are things going?’ Tom looked at him and said, ‘Much better now. My wife came home last night and I got lucky.’”

Giuliani, who was at the event to celebrate Trump's inauguration, went further into the story. “That’s locker room talk,” Giuliani said. “President Bush remembered that so well that when he saw Tom three weeks later at a fire house dinner, he came up to him and said, ‘Tom, are you still getting lucky?’ And Tom said, ‘No, it’s worn out.’”

The term “locker room talk” is a familiar and well-known phrase once used by Trump after the October release of a video where he boasted about grabbing women “by the p---y.”

“When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything,” Trump said at the time.
