1730061055Questions about GOP candidate\u2019s medical discharge fuel talk about bullet wound scandalThe Montana Senate race is increasingly being dominated by talk of scandal as the election enters its final week and Democrats make their last push to defend a crucial incumbency.<\/p>\n
Jon Tester and Tim Sheehy are separated by single digits in the only race where a Republican challenger has been consistently leading a Democratic Senate incumbent. Tester, who has represented the state since 2007, has trailed his opponent by a significant margin for several months, though a The Hill\/Emerson poll released earlier this month showed that gap possibly narrowing in his favor.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a race that could decide which party controls the Senate in the upcoming year.<\/p>\n

He started with an impression of Pope John Paul II calling New York city great. <\/p>\n
Within a minute of being on the stage, he had referenced 9\/11 and the New York Yankees. <\/p>\n
Giuliani bungled a reference to East Palestine, Ohio by calling it \u201cNew Palestine\u201d and referenced a \u201csubway derailment.\u201d East Palestine was the victim of a Norfolk Southern train carrying toxic chemicals that derailed and polluted the city. There is no subway system in East Palestine. <\/p>\n
The former mayor then discussed 9\/11 again and likened it to the October 7 Hamas attack in Israel. He said he was \u201con the side of Israel\u201d and claimed that Palestinians were taught from the age of 2 to kill Americans. <\/p>\n
At one point Giuliani said \u201cI\u2019m not gonna do conspiracy, but I\u2019m not not gonna do conspiracy,\u201d after which he immediately posited the baseless conspiracy theory that Democrats were behind the assassination attempt on Trump, saying \u201cthey better not do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n
