Rudy Giuliani Gets Slapped , While Campaigning for His Son.
CBS News reports former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani was slapped in a supermarket
while campaigning for his son.
Giuliani says the man who slapped him
was an employee of the store who was
angry due to the recent Supreme Court
decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Authorities say the incident occurred just before 3:30 p.m. at a ShopRite store in Staten Island.
Giuliani, 78, said he was slapped so hard
that he nearly lost his balance.
