WATCH: Rudy Giuliani Reenacts ‘My Cousin Vinny’ During Press Briefing

Rudy Giuliani was speaking during a press conference on November 19, when he chose to reenact a scene from the beloved 1992 film, My Cousin Vinny, which stars Joe Pesci as lawyer Vinny Gambini and Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei as Mona Lisa Vito.

Giuliani, speaking out as Donald Trump‘s personal lawyer, continues to fight to prove that there was voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election despite not having any evidence. On Thursday, he used a famous scene from the fictional comedy movie to prove an unsubstantiated claim about how ballots were being counted.

“Did you all watch My Cousin Vinny? You know the movie? It’s one of my favorites law movies because he comes from Brooklyn,” referring to Pesci’s role. When the nice lady who said she saw – and then he says to her – ‘How many fingers do I got up?’ and she says ‘Hh, three.’ Well, she was too far away to see there way only two.”

I thought this was a metaphor but no, he literally does that. “It’s one of my favorite law movies.” https://t.co/pmmpyGfmI8

“These people were farther away than my cousin Vinny was from the witness,” Giuliani says. “They couldn’t see a thing.”

The former New York Mayor was speaking from the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington D.C. while delivering his remarks on Thursday, however, due to safety precautions, many reporters chose not to attend. Yahoo News White House correspondent Hunter Walker tweeted, “this event is being held indoors and unmasked. I personally opted not to cover it.”

My Cousin Vinny, which was written by Dale Launer and directed by Jonathon, continues to be cult classic nearly 30 years since it was first released, and numerous users online did not appreciate Giuliani comparing himself to Joe Pesci’s character.

Comedian Sarah Cooper, famous for her Trump impersonation videos tweeted, “Fun fact: Rudy Guiliani acquired most of his legal expertise from repeated viewings of My Cousin Vinny, his “favorite law movie.’”

Jeet Heer, The Nation Magazine’s national affairs correspondent tweeted, “Giuliani: Your Honor, i’d like to cite the precedent of My Cousin Vinny versus the State of Alabama. Judge: Mr. Giuliani, that’s a movie.”

Rudy’s been going for an hour, and his only accurate claim to this point is that My Cousin Vinny is a great film.

George Conway III, a conservative lawyer and co-founder of The Lincoln Project, was confused by the comparison. He tweeted, “um the old lady witness’s problem in My Cousin Vinny was that she needed new glasses.”

.@RudyGiuliani is actually quoting “My Cousin Vinny,” which he says is one of his favorite movies.

This is actually happening.

Rudy Giuliani just said My Cousin Vinny is “one of my favorite law movies.”

That’s it, that’s the tweet.

Numerous reporters couldn’t believe that Giuliani was seriously citing a fictional film to prove a point. Jedd Legum tweeted, “Most successful legal strategies involve your lawyer, sweating profusely, quoting scenes from My Cousin Vinny to the assembled media.”
