On Monday, the Commercial Finance Association sent out an email apologizing for the “unscripted personal opinions” that Giuliani, a prominent supporter and close adviser to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, shared with the crowd at their 40 Under 40 dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
“At CFA’s 40 Under 40 Awards last Thursday night, keynote speaker Rudolph Giuliani veered sharply off course from the leadership message he agreed to deliver and presented unscripted personal opinions which were independent of CFA’s political position or core values,” Bob Trojan, the group’s CEO, wrote in an email sent to attendees and forwarded to the Observer. “While we, the event organizers, made every attempt to direct Mr. Giuliani’s remarks ahead of time to focus on leadership, for which he is renowned and has authored a book, there is always the possibility of such a surprise at a live event.”
The note continued: “For those of you who were offended by Mr. Giuliani’s remarks, please accept my sincere apology.”
The remarks Giuliani made to the Commercial Finance Association Thursday have not been publicly reported. But an attendee told the Observer the crowd was “shocked” by Giuliani’s comments and that some people began complaining about his speech almost immediately after it was over. “Rudy talked about immigration and made a really, really inappropriate comment about the quote-unquote Mexicans in the kitchen at the Waldorf,” the attendee said. “It was bad. You could hear a pin drop. I think he was looking for applause.”

Then again he could just be emboldened with the alt-right's step onto the main stage.

So, we don't know what he said, the person who supposedly was there didn't know what was said and Rudy made a remark about illegals. Apparently some Liberal in the audience got their feelings hurt 'cause Rudy wasn't PC enough.
Why don't we have a quote of what was said and a copy of the apology that was "emailed to everyone who was there"?
All I see is "he said, she said"

He made an off color remark about the people working in the kitchen of the venue the event was held. The Commercial Finance Association does not sound extremely liberal to me.
The apology is in the article. The source article should be good enough as we know who publishes the paper. Why would they allow the article if it weren't true? I am surprised they allowed it at all, but they did.

What exactly did he say? I'd like an actual quote of what he said before I respond.

It is not in the article. I imagine it will come out. Why are you asking me? You did respond anyway.

I'm just trying to find out what he said. You said it was 'off color' so I thought you knew what he actually said. Just looking for someone to point me to the actual quote because I'm kinda challenged when it comes to searching the internet. I rarely find what I'm looking for when I search.

I did search. The Observer article is the only one at the moment. I have all that you have.
that there had not been "any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States" in the eight years before President Barack Obama took office.
