CHARLESTON, S.C. The audience at a presidential forum here Saturday booed Newt Gingrich for criticizing Mitt Romneys record at Bain Capital after Mike Huckabee, the host, told the crowd that candidates would not be allowed to attack each other.
Before the five candidates (Ron Paul was not there) came out one by one for approximately 12 minutes of audience questions, Huckabee explained that they were not to mention, and not to attack the other candidates. (The audience, prompted at first by the Huckabee shows executive producer, clapped and cheered at the directive.)
Gingrich, the third candidate to speak, responded to question about how he could defend the vilification of companies that are willing to put capital at risk in order to save failing companies -- a reference to attacks by Gingrich and his super PAC over Romneys tenure at Bain Capital.
Pushing back on the claim of vilification, Gingrich said, I havent done that.
