Rudy Giuliani has been under fire this week for accusing President Obama of being less-than-patriotic, and now he says his office has been getting death threats over it. He still doesn't think Obama loves America, though. CNN's senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta said he talked to the former New York City mayor this morning. "I don't regret making the statement. I believe it. I don't know if he loves America... I don't feel the same enthusiasm from him for America," Guiliani told him.
As the New York Daily News points out, Guiliani got his draft deferred several times to avoid serving time in Vietnam, and his father and five uncles ducked the draft during World War II. Both Obama's grandfather and uncle served in the war. Despite this, Giuliani claims Obama wasn't "brought up the way you were and the way I was brought up through love of this country." We're just gonna leave that right there.
