Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani ignited a firestorm by publicly questioning whether Barack Obama “loves America,” criticizing him for weak leadership against Islamist threats and arguing the president has been more influenced by his communist mentors than by his African-American roots.

Many have sought to dismiss him. The White House press secretary said he “feels sorry” for him. The New York Daily News wrote an editorial calling him a “babble-rouser” who’s grown “sad and sadder.”

But a few, including former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., have argued the man who captained New York City through the Sept. 11 attacks has a point.

“I’m sure you’ve heard the leftist liberal media slamming Rudy Giuliani for his critical comments about President Obama,” Bachmann wrote in a letter to supporters of MichelePAC, a political action committee she founded to elect constitutional conservative leaders.

“It is certainly understandable why a mayor of the largest city in America, who suffered the worst terror attack in the history of our country, and who was ultimately responsible for managing and dealing with the mass death and chaotic destruction caused by radical Islamic terrorists is so immensely concerned,” Bachmann reasoned. “And with the erroneous and miscalculated lack of leadership from our White House, those concerns are more than justified.

“I share Rudy’s fear and concern,” Bachmann continued. “It is very unlikely that ISIS will simply go away without America leading the effort to stop them. We must identify this enemy for exactly who they are and robustly destroy them. …There is no question in my mind that we must show our patriotic love and devotion for America by demanding safety and security for our citizens.”

Giuliani was thrust into the limelight after telling about 60 conservative business leaders at a private dinner Wednesday night, “I do not believe that the president loves America. He doesn’t love you. He doesn’t love me.”

“The reality is, from all that I can see of this president, all that I’ve heard of him, he apologizes for America, he criticizes America,” Giuliani said.

He accused Obama of not believing in American exceptionalism and noted his early life influences, including communist Frank Marshall Davis.
