Because if Game Of Thrones is known for one thing, it's non-violent solutions to disputes.

Rudy Giuliani says his 'trial by combat' comment during Trump's January 6 rally was a 'Game of Thrones' reference, not a call to violence

"I was referencing the kind of trial that took place for Tyrion in that very famous documentary about fictitious medieval England," Giuliani said.

At the rally, Giuliani repeated baseless claims about election fraud and told the audience: "If we are wrong, we will be made fools of, but if we're right, a lot of them will go to jail. So let's have trial by combat."


Speaking with The Hill on Tuesday, Giuliani told the reporter Brett Samuels that he was just making a "Game of Thrones" reference.

"I was referencing the kind of trial that took place for Tyrion in that very famous documentary about fictitious medieval England," Giuliani told Samuels. "When Tyrion, who is a very small man, is accused of murder. He didn't commit murder, he can't defend himself, and he hires a champion to defend him."

So he's saying he wants someone to fight on Trump's behalf.

Totally exonerates the President. Thanks Rudy.

This is just like Brett K faking perjuring himself about the devil's triangle.

Yes, I suppose the last season of GoT is slightly less terrible if you think of it as a documentary.

A very famous...documentary...about something fictitious.

And did he just liken Trump to a "very small man"?

There's been debate on whether or not the dragons had feathers, and where specifically Catelyn Stark was buried. They found written evidence suggesting that she had risen from her grave, but this knowledge was suppressed by the Vatican for centuries.

Also evidence that Starbucks has actually been around for hundreds of years


Joking aside, we all know the superior method:

TRIAL BY STOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The literal interpretation of this that he sent those maga heads to either kill the police or be killed to prove who is right.

I'll always love the first 4 seasons of GOT, but he's making even them sound uncool. What a loser.

No he didn't because Bronn fought for him. Remember he tossed that Vale Knight Champion dude out the moon door?
There was 2 trial by combats. The second one he accused of murder against Joffrey. The first one he's accused of being involved with Bran's failed assassination attempt, if I remember rightly. Rudy seems to be referring to the second one, because of the well known trial scene in s4.
