Defiant Giuliani gets death threats - as Scott Walker weighs in to BACK former mayor
The Daily Mail ^ | February 21, 2015 | Charlene Adams

Meanwhile, Walker, a leading Republican contender for the White House in 2016, said Saturday that he doesn't know whether Obama loves his country.

'You should ask the president what he thinks about America,' the Wisconsin governor told The Associated Press while in Washington for a weekend meeting of governors.

'I've never asked him so I don't know.'

Democrats have assailed Giuliani for questioning the Democratic president's love of country, and they urged the potential field of Republican presidential candidates to rebuke Giuliani for his comments.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, another possible 2016 candidate, said he didn't think 'it helps to question the president's patriotism or motives.'

Pence said in an interview that Giuliani is 'a great American' who is 'understandably frustrated with a president who lectures us on the Crusades, but seems incapable of calling radical Islamic violence by name.'

Walker was in the room for Giuliani's initial comments, but he had declined to weigh in until Saturday.

'Rudy Giuliani is perfectly capable of defending his comments,' Walker said.

'I know I love America. I know there are plenty of good Americans, Democrats and Republicans and undecideds who share that same belief.'

Asked about Obama's patriotism, however, Walker said, 'I'm unqualified to make that statement one way or another because I've never had that conversation with the president.'

Well?

It's IS time to ask the President.

Let Obama man up instead of all these media hacks doing his bidding and putting words in his mouth.

Gov. Scott Walker said it better than the rest - "You should ask the president what he thinks about America. I've never asked him so I don't know.

Thank you, Mayor Giuliani, for establishing what could be an excellent test for all future candidates:

1. Do you love America, and explain why

2. Do you hate communism, and demonstrate how with your campaign platform

If Pence said that, he’s squishier than Walker.

Obie will say “I love.. My America.”...and in a hideously surreal sort of way, he will have spoken the truth.

Typical wimpy answer I'd expect from Pence.

Didn't the questioner want to know anything else?

It’s a copout to say “I don’t know” if Obama loves America.

He’s defined more than anything else by his anti-American administration.

He loves “the America that could be” (once he’s done with it)

You’ve made your point.

You don’t like Gov. Walker.

We get it.

But he’s not bold enough to make it clear he loves communism and hates our free republic.

Hannity NAILED it. Why would 0bama vow to "fundamentally transform the United States" if he loved it? It's either one or the other but not BOTH!

Obama: "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America"

Sounds like Walker/Giuliani are a team for 2016.

Pence has always been a squish. He’s Indiana’s John Kasich.

The AMERICA he "loves" and claims as his own...is simply the view of this Nation as having been "Totally Transformed".

That transformation hasnt yet been TOTAL...

Our Mission...to make darned certain that that NEVER HAPPENS!

To: All

btw - Scott Walker said the following Thursday (not Sat - as reported here where they combine it with his answer to a question about Obama’s patriotism).

“When asked about the comments during a CNBC interview, Walker refused to rebuke Giuliani.

“The mayor can speak for himself,” Walker said. “I’m not going to comment on whether, what the president thinks or not. He can speak for himself. I’ll tell you I love America, and I think there are plenty of people Democrat, Republican, independent and everybody in between who love this country.”...

I love Governor Scott Walker’s tact. Make Zer0 man up, chose his shooting iron and take his swing. This hatred of America is a very serious charge that is so far being confirmed.

I’m curious — if you would be truthful — who do you like in this race?

Let me guess.....you’re waiting ....

” I’ve never asked him so I don’t know.”

Well ask him and let us know what side you are on… they dodge the questions just like all good politicians do.

Giuliani thank you.
