Giuliani links Obama,

Ferguson shootings

Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani says President Obama is to blame for the police shootings in Ferguson, Mo., and other disturbing events because he sets the tone for the nation.

Giuliani spoke Thursday on WNYM-AM's The Answer with host John Gambling. Giuliani says Obama isn't addressing the "enormous amount of crime" being committed by blacks. The White House declined to comment Friday on Giuliani's remarks.

Giuliani drew criticism last month for questioning Obama's love of country. Thursday he said that he considered Obama a good family man. - AP

His sentencing hearing is June 8. - AP
