Awkward moment for Newt Gingrich on Faux...

Newt Gingrich: "The number one problem in almost all the cities is George Soros-elected, left-wing, antipolice pro-criminal district attorneys..."

Fox hos: "I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this."

Newt: "Okay... So, it’s verboten?"

Long awkward silence.

Good old Newt. Still hanging on after his own party ejected him!

Is his Intern, er, third wife still at the Vatican? What a. Joke.

vague statements about "limousine liberals" and "Hollywood elites" no longer keep the anti-Semites excited.

They need an Emmanuel Goldstein for their Big Brother

Both are responsible for turning the Republican Party into a hate-filled, useless group of legislators who live on taxpayers’ money and do nothing for them. The Republican Party of today is anti-everything but tax cuts for the wealthy. They are useless as a governing party because they don’t govern,,they just obstruct everything but tax cuts.

for the political warfare we see on display today. Newt's "contract with America" spawned the tea baggers and gave white supremacists a new lease on life. I hate that son-of-a-bitch with the energy of 100 suns.

Newt is the founding father for the divisiveness in Congress and undermining democratic norms. He's the devil's seed that spawned the Republican party of today and the last 30 plus years.

and he found a solid base to leverage its politicians. He took exceptional joy in driving out Republican Minority Leader of the House Bob Michel (R-IL). Bob was the most decent Republican to serve in the House.

That would be zero and none. That is an idiotic statement of Trumpian proportions. They really do hate America, our constitutions, and its protections. Simply want to install a Neo-Fascist government.

those scumbags get the best unlimited medical care on the planet, paid for by US taxpayers.

That's the first thing I ask also, when I see some of those names. Why the hell won't they just die and let us clean up???

Soros is getting so old, he won't be useful as the bad guy anymore...it's hard to be an evil orchestrator of leftist movements from the grave, dontcha know? The new boogie man is Bill Gates...Newtie needs to read his email!

as the RW's all-purpose Jewish type boogeyman. That's my prediction. It's true Obama is not a Jew, but he is a black Muslim communist Kenyan illegal immigrant, and he's also the Antichrist. I think they'll make an exception in his case.

Bill Gates is also a boogeyman, but that's pretty specifically related to his promotion of vaccines and public health.

Newt Gingrich is a stupid person's idea of how a smart person sounds.
