Rudy Giuliani, "America's Mayor" known for his response to the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center, is now the subject to a $10 million civil lawsuit for sexual assault, according to court documents obtained by the Wisconsin Law Journal.

"Jews want to go through their freaking Passover all the time, man oh man. Get over the Passover. It was like 3,000 years ago. The red sea parted, big deal. It's not the first time that happened," he allegedly said, according to court documents.
