On Monday, former mayor Rudy Giuliani was speaking in favor of Donald Trump when he made an outrageous statement of his own.

During the event, Giuliani appeared to completely forget about the September 11, 2001, attack when speaking about radical jihadist terrorism. He claimed that there had been no radical Islamic terror attacks under President George W. Bush.

“Under those eight years, before Obama came along, we didn’t have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack inside the United States,” he said. “They all started when Clinton and Obama got into office.”

What made this oversight even stranger was the fact that Giuliani had, only moments before, been praising Mike Pence for a “very, very timely” visit to Ground Zero and for helping to “fashion the Patriot Act.”

“He was a member of the Foreign Affairs and Judiciary committees during the time of Sept. 11, when we went through the worst foreign attack in our history, since the War of 1812,” Giuliani said.

Giuliani also appeared to forget what state Pence was governor of, telling the Ohio crowd, “You know better than I do what a great governor he is of your state,” when Pence was in fact governor of Indiana.
