Everybody commits adultery according to Rudy Giuliani. He said this in defense of Donald Trump. These must be the new Republican Family Values of the Trump era. (We know the role of women in the Trump era.)
"The remark came during an exchange on NBC’s 'Meet the Press,' after Chuck Todd, the show’s host, asked Mr. Giuliani whether he was 'the right person' to bring up former President Bill Clinton’s infidelities in this heated campaign.
'You have your own infidelities, sir,' Mr. Todd said.
'Everybody does,' Mr. Giuliani responded. 'You know, I’m a Roman Catholic and I confess those things to my priest.'
The reaction from Twitter users was swift and unforgiving.
'No Rudy — not everyone does,' wrote Diana Hess, a self-described Hillary Clinton supporter.
'Um, I’ve been married for almost 20 years. No infidelities,' wrote John Bielski, whose Twitter account describes him as a labor lawyer in Philadelphia. Mr. Bielski, whose Twitter profile says he loves his wife and daughters more than his favorite sports teams, went on to ask, 'Am I doing marriage wrong?'

Just bizarre,” Glenn Greenwald, a journalist, lawyer and founder of The Intercept, a news media site he began in 2013, wrote on Twitter. “Trump & Giuliani have 6 wives between them & are sermonizing about marriage to the Clintons, who have been married 41 years.
Others highlighted the illogic of Mr. Giuliani’s assertion that 'everybody' cheats. If everybody cheats, then why attack Mr. Clinton for it?"
