Rudy is an asshole: Golf world rallies around Michelle Wie West following Rudy Giuliani comments

I know this story is small potatoes compared to Trump paying for a violent overthrow of our democracy but Good God in Butter is Rudy Giuliani is an asshole. Rudy, “I saw a women’s underwear.” What is the matter with him? Turns out Nike makes women’s golf skirts with shorts and panties already in them so perv jobs like Rudy can’t get too excited about seeing some women’s panties.

The golfing world has rallied around Michelle Wie West following comments made by Donald Trump's former lawyer Rudy Giuliani "objectifying" the five-time LPGA Tour winner.

The former New York mayor appeared last Thursday on the 'War Room' podcast hosted by Trump's ex-adviser Steve Bannon and was remembering a round of golf he played with Wie West and the late talk show host Rush Limbaugh at a charity event in 2014.

As he recalls it, Limbaugh was complaining about the "paparazzi" and blamed Giuliani, only for the former New York mayor to point out photographers were for the then Wie -- she married Jonnie West, director of basketball operations for the Golden State Warriors in 2019.

"On the green is Michelle Wie and she is getting ready to putt," Giuliani said on the podcast on Thursday. "Now Michelle Wie is gorgeous. She's six feet. And she has a strange putting stance. She bends all the way over. And her panties show. And the press was going crazy.”

Wie West called Giuliani's story "highly inappropriate" and "unsettling."
"What this person should have remembered from that day was the fact that I shot 64 and beat every male golfer in the field leading our team to victory. I shudder thinking that he was smiling to my face and complimenting me on my game while objectifying me and referencing my ‘panties' behind my back all day," said Wie West in a Twitter post.

The Ladies Professional Golf Association also posted on social media in support of Wie West.
"She's a 5-time LPGA Tour winner. Major champion. LPGA Board member, elected by her peers. Stanford graduate. Working mother. We stand with @MichelleWieWest.”

I forgot, crap floats.

However, I'm sure there are many other crimes this one is central to and someone needs to look into some of those.
