Too bad, as the GOP already has struggles to deal with on credibility and relevance issues.

Rudy Giuliani should not have questioned President Barack Obama's love of America, former Romney advisor Dan Senor told CNBC on Friday as the firestorm over the comments ignited a fierce national debate.


At a private dinner Wednesday in New York for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who's thinking about running for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, Giuliani said: "I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America." According to Politico, the former New York City mayor and onetime GOP presidential hopeful continued: "He doesn't love you. And he doesn't love me. He wasn't brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country."


Senor, co-founder of the advocacy group Foreign Policy Initiative, said in a "Squawk Box" interview Friday, "I don't think it is healthy for the modern Republican Party to go into 2016, having a national debate ... about whether or not Barack Obama loves America."


"That is insane," he added.


Walker was asked about Giuliani's comments on "Squawk Box" on Thursday.

That's sad.... Rudy handled 911 well... He was "America's Mayor" and respected.. Now as he struggles to remain relevant.. He has turned into a male Sarah Palin.. who will say anything to get attention. Rudy.. You've squandered your cred... Go away.... What purpose are you serving?

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has damaged his legacy by saying President Obama does not love America, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Friday.

"It's sad to see when somebody who has attained a certain level of public stature and even admiration tarnishes that legacy so thoroughly," Earnest said at the daily briefing. "I don't take any joy or vindication or satisfaction from that."

Earnest pointed to the many speeches Obama has given, even around the world, expressing his love for country and belief that the United States can be a force for good in the world.

"We can study those examples," Earnest said, adding that he was not aware of any personal reaction from Obama.
