And Trump had the nerve to call women pigs
by digby
I would call him and his disgusting surrogate Rudy Giuliani pigs but it would be an insult to the animals which actually have a much higher level of intelligence:
The former New York City mayor made the remark, captured on video and posted to Twitter by Elite Daily writer Alexandra Svokos, in response to a question about Clinton’s attack on Trump’s past comments about women. Giuliani defended Trump, labeling him a “feminist” because of how he treats the women he employs, and said he would have responded to Clinton’s attacks much more harshly than the GOP nominee did.
“I sure would’ve talked about what she did to Monica Lewinsky, what that woman standing there did to Monica Lewinsky, trying to paint her as an insane young woman when in fact Monica Lewinsky was an intern,” Giuliani said. “The president of the United States, her husband, disgraced this country with what he did in the Oval Office and she didn’t just stand by him, she attacked Monica Lewinsky. And after being married to Bill Clinton for 20 years, if you didn’t know the moment Monica Lewinsky said that Bill Clinton violated her that she was telling the truth, then you’re too stupid to be president.”

Back when his marriage to Donna Hanover fell apart in 2000, Hanover cited Giuliani’s relationship with a staffer just hours after Giuliani suddenly announced their separation. From the Times back then:
Three hours later, Ms. Hanover appeared outside Gracie Mansion and, with a wavering voice and tears in her eyes, said: ”Today’s turn of events brings me great sadness. I had hoped to keep this marriage together. For several years, it was difficult to participate in Rudy’s public life because of his relationship with one staff member.”
Joannie Danielides, Ms. Hanover’s press secretary, said Ms. Hanover was referring to Cristyne Lategano-Nicholas, Mr. Giuliani’s former communications director who is now president of NYC and Company, the city’s tourism bureau. Friends of Ms. Hanover’s said yesterday that she had described the relationship between her husband and Ms. Lategano-Nicholas as intimate while Ms. Lategano-Nicholas worked at City Hall. The mayor has denied having had a romantic relationship with Ms. Lategano-Nicholas, who left City Hall last May and married Nicholas Nicholas, a sports writer, in February.
Apart from the allegation made by Hanover, Giuliani was also having an affair at the time with Judith Nathan, who later become his wife. It was later reported by Politico’s Ben Smith, during Giuliani’s 2007 presidential run, that Giuliani had been billing “obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons.”
This is merely the latest example of top Trump advisers and supporters broaching a topic that Trump himself hasn’t yet embraced for a whole host of reasons — not least of which are his own indiscretions.
Giuliani’s sex life was the subject of tabloids for years as was Trump’s. These old white guys have a lot of nerve making moral judgments.
