“The Nightly Show” host Larry Wilmore refused to mince words over former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s (R) accusation that President Obama doesn’t “love” America, calling Giuliani’s comments “racist” and the ex-mayor a “colossal prick.”
Wilmore tried desperately to find out what it was about Obama’s upbringing that made him hate America, but couldn’t come up with much after learning he was raised by a World War II veteran and wartime assembly line worker.
“So what else is different about Obama?” Wilmore said, showing a photo of the future first black President between his two white grandparents.
“Man I just — I’m really trying my best not to use the race card” he said, struggling. “Getting difficult.”
“No, you know what, fuck that shit, that’s racist,” he said, giving up.
Wilmore added that Giuliani’s invocation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks was bad form.
“Most of the world came together after that happened,” Wilmore said. “In fact, it was such a powerful, intoxicating event that, for a brief shining moment, the entire world forgot what a colossal prick you are!”
