Rudy Giuliani claims Clinton wasn't in New York after 9/11. Here are photos from their joint tour of Ground Zero.
Pro tip to all current and aspiring politicians: If you're going to slam your opponent for not showing up to something important, make sure there aren't, you know, pictures of you two there together.
Rudy Giuliani, who was mayor of New York on Sept. 11, 2001, claimed Wednesday that he recalled Hillary Clinton once saying she was "there that day," presumably meaning the day of or directly following the World Trade Center attacks. "I don't remember seeing Hillary Clinton there," Giuliani told his audience.

But there are multiple pictures of Clinton, then a senator for New York, visiting Ground Zero on Sept. 12, 2001, within 48 hours of the attack — and she is standing directly next to Giuliani:

If Giuliani meant Clinton wasn't in New York as the attacks unfolded, then yes, he is remembering correctly. Otherwise, maybe these photos will jog his memory.
