What did Rudy Giuliani say this time that got his name plastered all over the internet? Based on absolutely nothing, the former mayor of New York and current September 11th fame-seeker said, that the president of the United States does not love America.
Yea, he said that.
This of course, is based on Giuliani’s expert expertise on all things Islam and his uncanny ability to associate Islam with terrorism. As far as Giuliani and the rest of the Republican party are concerned, Islam and terrorism are the same, and with this association made and the fact that President Obama fails to see the connection, well, Giuliani figures that the president just don’t love America.
He was addressing a group of supporters at a private event when he came to the conclusion that the president hates this country. And present at this private gathering was none other than Gov. Scott Walker, a potential 2016 Republican candidate.
“I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America,” Giuliani said during the dinner at the 21 Club, a former Prohibition-era speakeasy in midtown Manhattan. “He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.”
With Walker sitting just a few seats away, Giuliani continued by saying that “with all our flaws we’re the most exceptional country in the world. I’m looking for a presidential candidate who can express that, do that and carry it out.”
“And if it’s you Scott, I’ll endorse you,” he added. “And if it’s somebody else, I’ll support somebody else.”
After the event, Giuliani then explained and doubled down on why he made the remark. Apparently, when George Bush invaded Iraq on false pretense and sanctioned thousands of troops to die needlessly, Giuliani now thinks their deaths should have been justified with America “taking land.” Who knows? Maybe we were supposed to take over Iraq or something.
“What country has left so many young men and women dead abroad to save other countries without taking land? This is not the colonial empire that somehow he has in his hand. I’ve never felt that from him. I felt that from [George] W. [Bush]. I felt that from [Bill] Clinton. I felt that from every American president, including ones I disagreed with, including [Jimmy] Carter. I don’t feel that from President Obama.”
