For them before he was against them

Rudy Giuliani on community organizers, from the 1999 documentary Democratic Promise: The Life and Legacy of Saul Alinsky [1]:

you go back to the 1980’s and most of the political establishment opposed them, tried to undercut them, didn’t want to make it happen. Because in many ways they do not pay homage to political figures. You come to their meetings, they require you to speak in three minutes, if you don’t they cut you off and tell you to sit down, and they remind you that you are a public servant.
