Rudy Giuliani: Trump ‘Feels Terrible’ About Hot Mic Comments

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” while discussing the lewd comments Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made while being recorded in 2005 on a hot microphone, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Trump “feels terrible about it. He feels terrible for his family and how embarrassing it is for them.”

Giuliani said, “Well I think in this case he realized we’re talking about his personal behavior and his statements that were absolutely wrong. I think when he heard them he was shocked. I’m not sure — I’m not going to say he didn’t remember them but they probably weren’t at the top of his mind. When he was confronted with it, he was pretty darn shocked he said such terrible things. He feels terrible about it. He feels terrible for his family and how embarrassing it is for them. He feels terrible from his own point of view. But he also realizes he has a responsibility. I think the last 14 months have driven that into him.”
