Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani adamantly defended Thursday his controversial criticism of President Obama, one day after saying he does "not believe that the president loves America."
Giuliani made the remarks Wednesday at a private fundraiser for Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who is widely considered to be a prospective candidate for president in 2016. He added: “(Obama) 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."
The comments drew widespread criticism from Democrats and liberals.
But Thursday night on "The Kelly File," when host Megyn Kelly asked Giuliani if he wished to apologize, the 2008 presidential candidate doubled down on his criticism.
"Not at all. I want to repeat it," Giuliani said. "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. ... This is an American president I’ve never seen before."
Giuliani said he doesn't think Obama believes in American exceptionalism, citing the president's remarks on police tactics in the wake of the Ferguson shooting, western atrocities in the name of religion and Obama's longtime association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a controversial Chicago pastor.

Rudy Rudy Rudy!
just listened to the complete speech that the governor made regarding Obama. he is spot on and never needs to explain or apologize for anything.
it's a true wake up call for our nation and everyone should take the time to listen to this speech.
Giuliani is the man!! Giuliani for President!!
He fits the MODE. He would make a good DEVIL- IN -Chief to carry on the mischief making of America.
If this man is so in love with America Why didn't he serve in the military. He was a draft dodger finding a loop hole not to go to Vietnam. He barks like a dog on a chain turn him lose and does nothing but puts his tail between his legs and whine.
