Host Jake Tapper aggressively challenged former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's attempt to excuse Donald Trump's inappropriate language on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.

"This is talk, and gosh almighty, he who hasn't sinned, throw the first stone," Giuliani said during a discussion of a 2005 Access Hollywood" tape on which the GOP presidential nominee can be heard bragging about trying to sleep with a married women, grabbing women by the vagina and sexual assault.


"Mr. Mayor, I have never said that, I have never done that," Tapper interjects. "I am happy to throw a stone. I have been in locker rooms, I have been a member of a fraternity. I have never heard any woman, ever, brag about being able to maul women because they get away with it."

Giuliani insisted Trump's behavior was common: "The fact is men, at times, talk like that. Not all men." Giuliani then insisted: "I'm not justifying it."

He then transitioned to attacking Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for her behavior during her husband's affairs during the 1990s. "You're really upset about this, but gosh almighty, there were an awful lot of things — particularly Hillary Clinton attacking the women who Bill Clinton sexually assaulted, sexually abused," he said. "She was the leader of the attack against them."

Earlier in the interview, Giuliani suggested Trump would provide a second apology for his comments during Sunday's night's debate.

"He apologized for them, he said that he was wrong, that doesn't reflect the way he looks at things today," Giuliani said. "He made a full and complete apology for it, and I think he's going to do it again tonight."
