In a brief conversation Monday morning, Newt Gingrich, who has been supportive (although sometimes critical) of Trump’s campaign, said the critics are paying too much attention to Trump’s style while losing sight of the substance of his critique of the ineffectiveness of administration anti-terror efforts.
“I think when over 100 Americans are shot and 49 are dead, to worry about tone is just a sign of how nutty our elites are,” Gingrich said.
“Trump was right,” Gingrich continued. “Obama and Clinton were wrong. Trump has been warning again and again that this has been getting more dangerous. Obama kept reassuring us everything was under control. We’ve now had San Bernardino. We’ve had Chattanooga, we’ve had Boston, we’ve had Fort Hood, and now we’ve had Orlando. And how many Americans have to die for Hillary and Barack to tell us the truth? Neither one of them can bring themselves to tell us the truth. So they have this fantasy. They lied to us about Benghazi. The statement of the president yesterday was totally misleading. And I think that’s why, frankly, despite his weaknesses and despite the fact that he is just learning the trade now, Trump shows enormous resilience, because telling the truth clumsily in the end beats lying in a sophisticated way.”
