It was a good try, Newt – You tried to sound Trumptastic, but it wasn’t enough, was it? Back to obscurity and FOX punditry with ya!
Gingrich: "What I said and advocated I did not say or advocate!"
"“A great deal of the coverage of what I said on Fox last night has been distorted,” Really ?
"A Muslim author on Friday morning tore apart Newt Gingrich’s new plan
to make all Muslims undergo a “sharia” test to prove their loyalty to
the United States — and she did it in a very unlikely place.
Being interviewed on Fox & Friends, author and physician
Dr. Qanta Ahmed blasted Gingrich’s proposal to “test every person here
who is of a Muslim background” — and then deport any Muslims who admit
to supporting sharia law.
“It’s very discouraging when you’re a Muslim here in the United
States, as am I, as are about three and a half million other people,
every time this happens, all Muslims are dehumanized,” she said. “How
are you going to test me? How are you going to test me? If you say —
Gingrich does not even understand sharia, though he’s not alone in his
ignorance. The whole narrative in the 18 months we’ve been talking does
not understand what sharia means. Which means I live a God-centered
life.”
Shorter Newt: I’ve embarrassed myself in the VP process enough so I’m gonna stick to saying crazy crap within the normal bounds of RWNJ’s and not stretch it further.
Typical conservative knee jerk reaction. Say something that sounds tough but totally unrealistic then walk it back when people call it out for being stupid and delusional.
They want bumper stickers not solutions.
Admit it Newt, you did not get into the VP ticket because you still owe 4 million from the last campaign, and the last thing Trump needs are freeloaders, he needs either net contributors or someone who would attract the sheep to be fleeced.
Too late ! Trump announced !
“The news media went into a hysteria overnight trying to over-exaggerate what I was saying. This is not about targeting a religion.”
… even slugs don’t leave skidmarks messier than Newtie…
“[T]errorists want to wield the freedom of religion enshrined in the U.S. Constitution against Americans.”
I have to agree with Newt on this one.
But enough about Pence and all those bigoted “religious liberty” bills from the GOP.
“Not intended to be a factual statement.”
I am surprised Newt missed the opportunity to suggest we merely round up all the citizens and send them to temporary/indefinite internment/detention/relocation camps in the desert. After all those people love the desert, right.
What you are famous for Newt. Open mouth before thinking. . . sticking foot in mouth and blaming media. You are nothing but a loud mouth, serial adulterer, con man.
“We have to have the courage to have an honest discussion” pretty much bars the GOP from participation.
Newt looks a little perturbed .
Nice try snewt.
But now that you’re NOT trumpets vp pick, you can dial back the crazy a notch.
Gingrich doubled-down on the narrative that America is at war with the Islamic State terror group and argued that in times of war, certain rights must be compromised.
We just might have to detain all democrats until we can be certain that they are not sharia democrats. Also, any woman seeking health advice anywhere must be detained until we can be certain that she is not a sharia woman. Same for anyone with brownish skin. We mustn’t allow sharia brown-skinned folks to walk among us.
He didn’t pick me!
Whaaa…he didn’t pick me…
It’s coded language. To the GOP, “honest” means discriminatory as fuck.
He has been crying for hours, Hannity got him out of the bathroom by baking a cake…
