Pro golfer Michelle Wie West exploded Rudy Giulani on Friday night over disgusting remarks he made about her on Steve Bannon’s podcast, ‘War Room’. The former mayor of New York City on Thursday shared a story about Rush Limbaugh, who passed away earlier in the day, in which he and the late right-hand party presenter got a glimpse of Whose underwear while playing golf.
Whoever has won 5 LPGA titles calls the story ‘highly inappropriate’ a note shared on Twitter. “What this person had to remember from that day on was the fact that I shot 64 and hit every male golfer in the field which led our team to a victory,” she wrote. “I shudder when I think he smiles at my face and compliments my game as he objects to me and refers to my ‘panties’ all day.”
According to Giuliani, during a charity tournament where amateurs paid to play with pro golfers, she and Limbaugh’s group – which also includes Roger Ailes and Cigar Aficionado publisher Marvin Shanken – were linked to Wie. Giuliani asked Bannon if he could share a ‘funny story’ and began in the anecdote in which he says that he and Limbaugh try to prevent the paparazzi from chasing them, before realizing that they were not the focus.
“On the green is Michelle Wie, and she’s getting ready to sit down,” Giuliani said. “Now, Michelle Who’s beautiful. She’s 6 feet. And she’s having a weird attitude. She’s bending over and showing her panties. And the press’s crazy … They tried to take her panties off. I did. said ‘[Rush], it’s not me, it’s not you, it’s her panties. ”
He ends the story with, “Is it okay to tell that joke? I’m not sure.”
Bannon replies, “We’ve said it before, so I do not know.”
While Wie’s letter did not directly mention Giuliani, she confirmed that she had led the group to a victory. She also addressed his comments on her point of view, saying: ‘My attitude of six years ago was aimed at improving my pit statistics (I finally won the US Open in that year), NOT as an invitation to put on my skirt do not seek! ‘
She added, “What needs to be discussed is the elite skill level at which women play, not how we wear or look.”
