WASHINGTON -- Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said Sunday that the media is unfairly questioning Republicans about Rudy Giuliani's recent claim that President Barack Obama doesn't love America, and insisted that the public should "thank" the former New York City mayor for his comments.
Issa came to Giuliani's defense on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.
"The reality is that Rudy has taken our debate -- and I think we should thank him for this part of it -- back to national security, to the key element that the president should be focusing on," Issa said, before carefully parsing Giuliani's words in an effort to soften them. "Rudy Giuliani said he 'didn't believe'. He didn't say the president 'wasn't,' he said he 'didn't believe.' Now the reality is that I do believe that the president believes strongly in America, I just think he views America differently."
Issa also criticized the media for asking Republicans to respond to Giuliani's statements instead of focusing on comments made by Vice President Joe Biden. Though Biden is well-known in Washington for his propensity to gaffe, Issa did not cite any particular "Bidenism."

what a Neo-confederate traitor and opportunist, who got a measly 118,554 in 2012 election, has to say about the duly elected President of the United States who got 62,615,406 in 2012?
Issa is a nobody.

"trying to hard to be relevant" bus. Rudy's a hot topic right now (and not on a good way for him but a hot topic none the less) and any one in need of a little attention weighs in. Darryl must be feeling ignored, poor baby.
