Rudy Giuliani wants a little love, but most likely just some attention, from the president of the United States of America.
The former New York City mayor reportedly said Wednesday night at a fundraiser for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) that Barack Obama “doesn’t love” America.
“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 during a private dinner in New York. “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.”
His remarks, recorded by Politico, were also heard by “60 right-leaning business executives and conservative media types” gathered to fete the potential 2016 presidential candidate.
Giuliani added 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 said. “And if it’s somebody else, I’ll support somebody else.”
A spokesperson for the Wisconsin governor did not immediately return a request for comment.
The former mayor doubled down on his remarks in an interview with “Fox & Friends” Thursday morning.
