Attorney to President Donald Trump and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said on July 16 that the president confronted the “progressive” members of the Democratic party because Democrats are afraid to stand up to them.

“Since the Dems are afraid to stand up to AOC, Omar, Tlaib et al, hateful and ignorant criticism of our law enforcement and federal agents, and their support of economic destruction of our ally Israel. [Trump] has to do it for them. After all he is supposed to defend America,” Giuliani said in a Twitter post on July 16.
