Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's daughter spoke out against former President Donald Trump in a new editorial for Vanity Fair on Monday.
Caroline Rose Giuliani urged readers not to vote for the Republican presidential nominee she argued destabilized the nation and derailed her father's life.
"As Rudy Giuliani’s daughter, I’m unfortunately well-suited to remind Americans of just how calamitous being associated with Trump can be, even for those who are convinced he’s on their side," she wrote.
"Watching my dad’s life crumble since he joined forces with Trump has been extraordinarily painful, both on a personal level and because his demise feels linked to a dark force that threatens to once again consume America."
Giuliani's daughter argued the " catastrophic downward spirals " experienced by those in Trump's inner circle should serve as a warning to American voters.
She admitted to a "cartoonishly complicated relationship" with her father and said she did not want to hurt him by speaking out against the former president.
"The totality of that makes this the most difficult piece I’ve ever written," the 35-year-old wrote. "Yet this moment and this election are so much bigger than any of us."
She threw her support behind Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) before sharing memories of the night her father told her in a Manhattan cigar bar that he was thinking of becoming Trump's lawyer.
"I ugly-cried for a few minutes, then spent the next three hours making my vehement case to my father that he not go down this morally perilous path," Caroline Rose Giuliani wrote.
"I voiced all of my concerns about Trump’s open racism, rampant misogyny, and total lack of empathy...I held onto hope that a daughter’s emotional entreaty might actually sway a father."
Caroline Rose Giuliani found out the truth, that he had ignored her pleas, in the next day's headlines, according to the editorial.
"Trump being the president was the worst thing that ever happened to my dad, to my family, and to our nation’s modern history," she wrote.
"Take it from me, Trump destroys everything he touches. I saw it happen to my family. Don’t let it happen to yours, or to our country."
