Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said instead of host Jake Tapper asking Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to apologize over his questions about President Barack Obama’s birthplace maybe the, “Democrats should apologize for calling Donald Trump a racist.’

Giuliani said, “If everybody apologized for all the things they said in politics, all we would be doing on television shows is apologizing. Maybe all the Democrats should apologize for calling Donald Trump a racist and calling him all kinds of terrible names and it gets a little silly.”
