Michelle Wie West condemns objectifying comments by Rudy Giuliani

Michelle Wie West had strong words for Rudy Giuliani via Twitter after the former New York City mayor and attorney for former President Donald Trump discussed having joked with radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh several years ago about being able to see the golfer's underwear when she putted during a golf outing.

(Snip)

"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."

Wie West went on to express frustration over elite-level pro golfers being discussed in terms of their appearance instead of their game. The outing apparently took place in 2014, the same year Wie West won the U.S. Women's Open at Pinehurst using a putting stance meant to improve her stats.

"NOT as an invitation to look up my skirt," Wie West wrote on Twitter on Friday.

Fitting, because I understand it took a lot of little blue pills for him to even reach quarter-staff

Michelle Wie West is a class act. She's a first class professional athlete.

Giuliani is a creep. He's clearly a misogynist.

He's also a criminal and an anarchist.

Could he also be a seditionist?
