Report: Rudy Giuliani tells private dinner I do not believe that the president loves America

Posted By on February 19, 2015

Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani doesnt think President Obama loves him. Or you. Or America.

Giuliani made the claim to a crowd of conservatives including Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R)at a private dinner Wednesday night in New York City, wondering whether Obama really loves America, Politicoreported.

I do not believe and I know this is a horrible thing to say but I do not believe that the president loves America, he said at the 21 Club, a former upscale speakeasy in Manhattan, Politico reported. He doesnt love you. And he doesnt love me. He wasnt brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.

He added that with all our flaws were the most exceptional country in the world. Im looking for a presidential candidate who can express that, do that and carry it out.

Then he reportedly looked to Walker a 2016 presidential contender.

And if its you Scott, Ill endorse you, he said. And if its somebody else, Ill support somebody else.

The dinner was intended to be a venue where Walker could rub elbows with deep-pocketed right-wing donors. The Washington PostsRobert Costareported that economists Larry Kudlow, Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore were planning to host him. Laffer is known for the Laffer curve, a theory that lowering taxes can increase government revenue. Moore, a former Wall Street Journal editorial writer, now works for the Heritage Foundation. And Kudlow was an economic adviser to former President Ronald Reagan.

But the event may have turned into a forum for the sharp-tongued, 70-year-old Republican who recently seems to be fixated on the president.

In an interview after the dinner, Giuliani continued to talk, saying Obama sees our weaknesses as footnotes to the great things weve done.
