Gingrich: Hillary Clinton to pursue 'left-wing ideas' [View all]



In an interview with CNN, the former House speaker and presidential candidate accused Hillary Clinton of planning to pursue "left-wing ideas" in a series of upcoming speeches that may be setting the stage for her own White House run in 2016.

The former secretary of state announced her foray back into discussing the nation's pressing political issues at an address to the American Bar Association last Monday, a speech she used to sharply criticized voter ID laws recently passed by conservative governors.

Asked whether Republicans could defeat Clinton in 2016, Gingrich launched into an attack on the former secretary's upcoming speeches.

"First of all Hillary Clinton may beat Hillary Clinton," Gingrich told CNN Wednesday afternoon at a Republican National Committee summer strategy session in Boston.

"If she runs around the country and adopts a series of left-wing ideas in order to preempt the primaries, she may isolate herself so much from the average American that she defeats herself," he added.

Ahhhh Newt, never fails to amuse. He should go to Tiffany's and spend another $500K for his plastic wife.
