Giuliani Stands By His Comments Obama Doesn’t Love America: I Don’t Want to Apologize

‘He hasn’t displayed the love for America like other American presidents’

KELLY: "Mr. Mayor, do you want to apologies for your comments?"

GIULIANI: "Not at all. I want to repeat it. The reality is, from all that I can see of this president, all that I’ve heard of him, he apologizes for America, he criticizes America. He talks about the Crusades and how the Christians were barbarians. Leaves out the second half of the sins that the Muslims were barbarians also. He sees Christians slaughtered and he doesn't stand up and hold a press conference, although he holds a press conference for the situation in Ferguson. He sees Jews being killed for anti-Semitic reasons; doesn't stand up and hold a press conference. This is an American president I’ve never seen before."

KELLY: "But to say that he doesn't love America, that he could view foreign policy as a Democrat might view it and through a different lenses that you Republicans might see it -- you can understand the differences between you. But to condemn his patriotism, to question his love of America?"

GIULIANI: "I'm not examining his patriotism. Patriots can criticize. They’re allowed to criticize. But I don’t hear from him what I heard from Harry Truman, what I heard from Bill Clinton, what I heard from Jimmy Carter, which is these wonderful words about what a great country we are, what an exceptional country we are."
