Giuliani says 'Leave my family alone'

August 16, 2007

Derry, New Hampshire - Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani said people should "leave my family alone" when asked why he should expect loyalty from voters when he doesn't get it from his children.

Giuliani's daughter supports Democrat Barack Obama and his son hasn't spoken to him for some time.

Answering questions at a town-hall meeting, Giuliani was asked why he should expect loyalty from GOP voters when his children aren't backing him, reports the AP.

"I love my family very, very much and will do anything for them. There are complexities in every family in America," Giuliani said. "The best thing I can say is kind of, 'leave my family alone, just like I'll leave your family alone.'"
