Former New York Mayor and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani drew the ire of golf champ Michelle Wie Friday night.
She took to Twitter to call out Giuliani for a story he told on a podcast with Trump ally Steve Bannon about her panties.
Giuliani recalled the late conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh being disturbed by all the paparazzi that seemingly followed the pair at a charity golf tournament.
Giuliani said he corrected Limbaugh.
“Now, Michelle Wie is gorgeous,” he said. “She’s 6 feet. And she has a strange putting stance. She bends all the way over and her panties show. And the press was going crazy…They were trying to take pictures of her panties. I said ‘[Rush], it’s not me, it’s not you, it’s her panties.'”

Wie took offense to Giuliani’s comments. She tweeted ““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. I shudder thinking that he was smiling to my face and complimenting me on my game while objectifying me and referencing my ‘panties’ behind my back all day.”
