Rudy Giuliani: the man, the mayor, the mystery.

On Tuesday, the former mayor was photographed allegedly leaving Playhouse Sq. in New York City with some very powerful, and very stereotypical, looking men in the back of a car. The identities of the men could not be immediately determined, so Twitter began its own independent investigation. It also began its immediate takedown of white men, chomping on cigars cruising around town in a limo.

Who were these men? Why were they all they all smoking cigars? Why did they all resemble Boss Tweed? What year is it? 1877?

Shortly thereafter, Twitter discovered that one of the men in the back of the car was very likely Trump advisor and former FOX News Chairman, Roger Ailes.
