Rudy Giuliani Mocked On Twitter Over His Butt-Dials To Reporter

"We’ve officially entered 'producers of scripted TV would reject this for not being believable enough' territory," one person commented.

Rudy Giuliani set Twitter alight on Friday after it emerged that he’d butt-dialed and left voicemails for an investigative NBC reporter twice in three weeks.

The former New York mayor, who is now President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, was reportedly heard talking about needing money and ranting about the president’s potential 2020 Democratic rival Joe Biden in the recordings received by Rich Schapiro.

It prompted some people to share their own stories of being inadvertently called by Giuliani:

While we’re telling Rudy butt dial stories... he once texted me a voice memo recording of himself talking to a guy. I couldn’t make any sense of it or figure out how he managed to text me a recording inadvertently. https://t.co/SZT09jnOEv

everyone has a good Rudy butt dial story. I've heard him on what sounded like a plane, at the airport, at what sounded like a bar. "SIR, SIR! HELLO!" Alas.

Ugh. Sorry to bother you guys.

I just heard from @RudyGiuliani again.

He asked that I remind everyone that his DMs are open and he’d like to hear your thoughts on his butt dial incident

to leave one dubious butt-dial voicemail for a reporter may be regarded as a misfortune; to leave two looks like carelessness, as Oscar Wilde didn’t say https://t.co/HMEl5bJaiJ

Ironically, Butt-Dial is Giuliani's Secret Service name#ButtHisVoicemails #ButtDial

Surely you can only butt-dial someone these days if you disable your phone auto-lock? You might recall that Giuliani was Trump's cybersecurity advisor

Trump's anticipated defense of Giuliani: "It was the PERFECT butt dial. The most beautiful butt dial, really."

A History Classroom in the Future:

TEACHER: Ok kids, today we study the period of Trump Presidency

CLASS: Pee Tape! Pee Tape!

TEACHER: No, not yet. We first do Trump's staff, starting with his attorney, Rudy Giuliani

CLASS: Butt dial! Butt dial!#ButtHisVoicemails #ButtDial

If a BUTT-DIAL takes down Giuliani and possibly even Trump that would be sweet sweet poetry. https://t.co/WNb1mJKcmH
