Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) sparked a firestorm on Wednesday, when he proclaimed that President Barack Obama “doesn’t love” America. The backlash keeps rolling in.
“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 reportedly said at a private New York fundraiser for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R). “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.”

“When I see Christians slaughtered and I don’t see the American president standing up for them as Christians, when I see Jews slaughtered and I don’t see him standing up of them as Jews, I wonder if my criticism about his love of America doesn’t extend to a criticism of a love of Western civilization,” Giuliani said in an interview with WABC in New York.
