Newt Gingrich: Trump Has 'Brought Out Into The Open How Truly Anti-American Much Of The Left Is'



Can't believe we still have to listen to this asshole!

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Fox News Radio host Todd Starnes managed last week to tie the controversy over President Trump’s call to a Gold Star widow to NFL protests over racial injustice and what Gingrich claimed is the “truly anti-American” nature of much of the left.

In a conversation with Gingrich on his radio program on October 19, Starnes called criticism of Trump’s comments to Myeshia Johnson an “ugly attempt by the media to take a swipe at the president.”

“There’s a bloc of people, unfortunately, who hate Trump so deeply that they spend all day every day trying to find some way to smear him or attack him or defame him and it distorts things,” Gingrich replied.

He added that he tells audiences who criticize Trump that they’re getting their information “from reporters and systems that dislike him so deeply they couldn’t tell the truth if their life depended on it.”

He's smart enough - so he knows that this is all bs.

Does he have so much hubris and thinks that it's his job to drive public opinion? Does he think the public is so stupid that he (and others like him) HAVE TO use emotion and propaganda and spin?

It really just takes me breath away.

Go away, Newt, & stay away. And take your gold digging, creepy wife with you. Neither of these two charlatans should be anywhere near the Vatican.

You mean the guy whose own party ran him out of DC? You mean that Gingrich?

And he's relevant in 2017 because, why?

Why, I'll bet a Republican could cheat on his wife, wait until she's bed-ridden with cancer, then demand a divorce, and still not cross any uncrossable lines. He could then even dump wife number two and take up with another woman while complaining very publicly about a Democrat cheating his wife. Then, this hypothetical Republican could have his first two marriages annulled, convert to Catholicism so he could marry wife number three and then, I dunno, have her appointed as ambassador to the Vatican.

Okay, that last one might be a bit too far, even for a Republican hypocrite.

Gotta love how the right claims to have the monopoly on "being and loving America". Everything the left does is done in a manner of "bringing down America".

What a joke.

I'll be the first to admit I detest Trump for his words and his actions in most cases. I can't recall many messages he's given that would turn that into admiration. Perhaps that is selective memory...perhaps it's because I'm getting old.

I don't want to make Gingrich feel left out, as I feel the same way about him and his wife. Both have been leeches on our government for years.

He's about as relevant as a powdered wig any more, so he says stupidly outrageous things just to get attention.

So Newtie McAsshole says that the left is "anti-American", meaning at war with America. I'm on the left, so he has declared War on me.

That means if I see Newt on the street, I can stand my ground

Perfect!
