Unhinged Rudy Giuliani defends Donald Trump by pointing to Bill Clinton’s affair: “There was semen on her dress!”

Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani sat down with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews following the second presidential debate Sunday night. As one of Donald Trump’s loudest surrogates, Giuliani was asked to defend the Republican presidential nominee after video leaked last week of him bragging about grabbing women “by the pussy” in 2005.

Giuliani dodged the question in order to pivot to sexual assault accusations against former President Bill Clinton.

“How come he wasn’t prosecuted for raping Juanita Broaddrick? Why wasn’t he prosecuted for taking advantage of an intern in the White House?” he said — the latter question referring to President Clinton’s repeated sexual encounters with 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky between 1995 and 1997. “There was semen on [Lewinsky’s] dress, who proves he lied to America. Just like her husband, [Hillary Clinton] is getting away with lying to America.”

“Men say stupid things in locker rooms,” Giuliani added after Matthews suggested he wasn’t “comfortable” with defending Trump’s hot mic comments. “I was a baseball player, a terrible football player but a good baseball player, and now I play a lot of golf … I’ve played golf with Bill Clinton and I’ve heard worse than that.”

whole mess back then too. I'm not sure these aged perverts want to perseverate on semen too long. Funny how consensual sex only exists for them. Rudy was abusing the power of his office when he was carrying on.

Every bit as torrid as anything Bill Clinton did with Monica. Hanover had to get a court order to keep Guiliani's mistress from visiting Gracie Mansion.

while Donna Hanover and their kids were still in Gracie Mansion.

What an adulterous pig Guiliani is, which is why I guess he defends Trump so rabidly — birds of a feather and all that.

to this extremely unsavory and unseemly interview, Matthews very much encouraging Giuliani? They were standing very still and silent behind the two men who were serving up this sewage.

They're way too old for moms to run up and put their hands over their ears to protect them, but this is likely the first election they've paid serious attention to and I certainly wished it was not this way.

I don't condone Bill's affair with Monica but it wasn't some guy grabbing pussy from some unsuspecting woman.
