Donald Trump adviser and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Thursday suggested that President Barack Obama was to blame for a rise in hate crimes because he had failed to “oppose black racism.”

During an appearance on Fox & Friends, Gingrich linked Obama’s presidency to the news that four black men had been detained in Chicago for allegedly torturing a disabled white man.

“I think a lot of their language, a lot of their approach heightened that sense of racial tension,” Gingrich said of the Obama administration. “And I think we have to oppose white racism, we also have to oppose black racism.”

“And I think if this had been done to an African-American by four whites, every liberal in the country would be outraged and there would be no question that it’s a hate crime.” According to Gingrich, President-elect Donald Trump is trying to avoid “having the deep bitter division in the community that makes America very hard to govern.”

1. What does he mean IF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Black men have been mowed down by white men with increasing frequency for years now.

[Coolest Ranger]

2. Right

because we control everything and we oppress white people like you Newt. Is it too early for me to get drunk

[underpants]

3. We are outraged. That was horrible.

[George II]

4. This coming from a guy from the Deep South! I guess to him there's only one type of "racism"....

....."black racism". White racism doesn't exist. Maybe he should take a short trip up to South Carolina for the sentencing of Dylann Roof today?

[BumRushDaShow]

16. But the kicker is that he was born and raised in Harrisburg, PA

He only moved to GA when his military father changed bases (after many other moves) and landed there when he was in high school.

[unblock]

5. i like the "trump is trying to avoid... bitter division..." bit. yeah, right!

[1965Comet]

6. THen I for one blame Dylann Roof on every white Republican

who served in the Congress at the time of the Charleston shooting. They obviously did not condemn "white racism" enough to stop Roof's crime...

[cbreezen]

7. Gingrich just admitted

Whether or not he intended to, that this was a hate crime.

I could so easily see something like this happening to my son. Sad and scary.

[MrScorpio]

8. This is bullshit.

If these people actually tortured this man, I'm quite sure that they're going be prosecuted and punished... Severely.

Newt, here, is simply fanning white fears of black people and pinning those fears on the scary Black President.

Fuck Newt.

FDT.

10. Sadly predictable.

When a white straight male does something horrible, he's acting on his own.

When somebody from a minority group does something horrible, for some reason it's the fault of every other person who shares that particular minority attribute.

Total double standard, totally predictable.

[NoMoreRepugs]

11. agree 100% yardwork...... white straight male lone wolf

[LanternWaste]

9. Gingrich, among many other half-wits, truly loves this narrative

Gingrich, among many other half-wits, truly loves this narrative as it validates his irrational bias and bigotry. They get to use "minorities are racist too!" in a sentence, revealing much more about themselves than they may intend.

[PatSeg]

12. Every time this man opens his mouth,

I just want to slap him silly. He doesn't even try to disguise his racism and he speaks utter nonsense, but he speaks it so well, people think he knows what he's talking about.

[Hortensis]

13. Newt is unrelentingly despicable. I'd love to read

a good psychological profile on him. He's almost certainly a sociopath without conscience, and many have said so, though without chance to do a formal in-person assessment.

[MosheFeingold]

14. Don't see the Obama link at all, BUT

I've watched the unedited video. This was kidnapping and race hate of the first magnitude against a mentally-disabled kid who was completely innocent.

This kind of thing does more damage to race relations than anything imaginable. It give legitimacy to otherwise irrational fears of whites. The perps need to rot in prison and do need hate crime charges brought against them.

The waffling by Chicago PD will only exacerbate idiots like Gingrich and give them a hate narrative. Lock these turds up for 30 years.

[The Wizard]

15. Gingrich is just like Trumputin

but with an education and the ability to read. Both bullshit artists.

[riversedge]

17. the newt crawls out of his stinking swamp quite a lot lately.

[3catwoman3]

18. No one is as impressed with the sound...

...of his own voice and the depth (kidding) of his thinking as Newt himself.

His voice, "frankly," is annoying as hell.

[Thinkingabout]

19. Newt says this and it was Trump pushing the alt-right and hate for groups like muslim, LGBT,

And talking down to blacks, and hate towards women, place the blame where it should be.

[romanic]

20. Is black racism the opposite of white racism?

Like Yin and Yang? lol



sorry I had to joke because this whole situation pisses me off, I don't need Newt the Twit to blow hot air about it.

[coco22]

21. The Cons also try to..

pin every police killing on a black person or BLM,in their eyes whites don't commit crimes. These people will be prosecuted as they should.

[Vinca]

22. Newt seems to suffer from permanent mouth diarrhea.

[Paladin]

23. Why is anybody paying any attention whatsoever to a fuckstick like Newt?

He is so yesterday.......
