When NBC’s Chuck Todd pointed out Sunday that the thrice-married, twice-divorced Giuliani also had strayed from his marital vows in the past, the former mayor argued that “everybody” commits infidelities.

“That’s what he’s talking about”, Giuliani said. Reminded of the breathtaking hypocrisy surrounding the attack, one of Trump’s top surrogates told a national television audience it’s perfectly acceptable because “everybody” has cheated on their spouse.
“Just freakish”, tweeted lawyer-journalist Glenn Greenwald, founder of The Intercept news site.
This overt Clinton support is quite unexpected from the daughter of the man who claimed that sexist Trump is a feminist, and declared that Clinton is “too stupid” to run the country.
And none of that’s a secret.
Giuliani also spoke with Chuck Todd over at “Meet the Press” and things did not go very well.
In 2008, when her father was running for President, the then-17-year-old posted on Facebook that her political views were “liberal” and joined a group called “Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack)”.
Even more suspect is Giuliani’s tone deafness to the irony of his new position. There are rumours that Mr Giuliani is eyeing up the job of attorney general should Mr Trump win. It seems to me that he’s taken on a role similar to Trump _ he fans the flames and lets them burn itself out.
Later in the interview, Giuliani attempted to change the conversation to Hillary Clinton’s leaked excerpts from private Wall Street speeches – in which she appeared to admit to having “a public position and a private position” on issues like trade.
Clinton has yet to respond to Caroline’s new found support but we can imagine as the election draws close she’s thrilled.
Here’s what Dent tells ABC’s “This Week”: “As a party leader, I think at times you have to stand up and do some pretty hard things and this may be one of them right now”.
“And when he was confronted with it, he was pretty darn shocked that he had said such bad things, and he feels awful about it”, Giuliani said on “Meet the Press”.
In response to Giuliani @Jaketapper: “I have never said that”.

Maybe. But at least Clinton actually has something that looks and sounds like evidence to back up her argument. “But Hillary Clinton was attacking these women”, he said.
