Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday vehemently defended his assertion that President Obama sent the nation a message that it's alright to hate the police.
Giuliani last week claimed Obama's rhetoric showed animosity toward police, a suggestion that proved wholly false according to a Washington Post fact check.
