As he remembers, Limbaugh was complaining about the “paparazzi” and blamed Giuliani, only for the former New York mayor to point out that the photographers were from then Wie – she married Jonnie West, director of basketball operations for the Golden State Warriors in 2019.
“On the lawn is Michelle Wie and she is preparing for the putt,” said Giuliani on the podcast on Thursday. “Now Michelle Wie is beautiful. She is six feet tall. And she has a strange posture. She bends over completely. And her underwear appears. And the press was going crazy.”
Giuliani ended his story by asking, “Can I tell you this joke, I’m not sure?” To which Bannon replied, “We have already told you, so I don’t know.”
Wie West called Giuliani’s story “highly inadequate” and “disturbing”.
“What should be discussed is the level of elite skill that women play, not what we wear or look like.
“My swing stance six years ago was designed to improve my swing stats (I ended up winning that year’s US Open), NOT as an invitation to look up my skirt!
“Nike makes skirts with shorts embedded underneath for exactly that reason … so that women can feel CONFIDENT and COMFORTABLE playing a game we love.”
“She is an LPGA Tour winner 5 times. Great champion. LPGA board member, elected by her peers. Stanford graduate. Working mother. We support @MichelleWieWest.”
Giuliani did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.
