Rudy Giuliani seemed to have a developed a case of selective memory while introducing Donald Trump and Mike Pence at a rally in Ohio today. In the video above, Giuliani appears to say that no radical-Islamic terrorist attacks were executed in the US during George W. Bush's administration—neglecting to mention 9/11, the event that defined Giuliani's time as the mayor of New York City.

"Under those eight years, before Obama came along, we didn’t have any successful radical-Islamic terrorist attack in the United States," Giuliani told supporters."Those all started when Clinton and Obama got into office."

Twitter was quick to correct the omission:






A longer version of the clip shows the full context of Giuliani's remarks, where he does, indeed mention 9/11:


So, Giuliani didn't forget 9/11, he just conveniently left it out of the timeframe of the Bush administration. Maddow Blog's Steve Benen says this clip doesn't exactly absolve Giuliani:

It’s not that Giuliani forgot about 9/11 today; it’s just that the New York Republican appears to start the clock after the deadly attacks. He seems to operate from the assumption that the Bush/Cheney record is exemplary and worthy of emulation, just so long as Americans choose to overlook the deadliest terrorist attack in the history of the country.
