CBS News: “Pro golfer Michelle Wie West blasted Rudy Giulani on Friday night over lewd comments he made about her on Steve Bannon’s podcast, ‘War Room.’ The former New York City mayor had shared a story on Thursday about Rush Limbaugh, who died earlier that day, in which he and the late rightwing talk show host caught glimpses of Wie’s underwear while golfing.”
“Wie, who has won 5 LPGA titles, called the story ‘highly inappropriate’ in a note shared on Twitter. ‘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,’ she wrote. ‘I shudder thinking he was smiling to my face and complimenting my game while objectifying me and referencing my ‘panties’ behind my back all day.’ According to Giuliani, during a charity tournament where amateurs paid to play with pro golfers, his and Limbaugh’s group – which also included Roger Ailes and Cigar Aficionado publisher Marvin Shanken – was paired with Wie. Giuliani asked Bannon if he could share a ‘funny story,’ and launched into the anecdote, in which he says he and Limbaugh were trying to avoid the paparazzi trailing them, before realizing that they weren’t the focus.”
