Only poblem is, Newt never directly told Santorum to get out. He never directly asked Santorum to get out. In response to a reporter’s question what Newt said was:
“I’m respectful that Rick has every right to run as long as he feels that’s what he should do,” Gingrich said. “But from the standpoint of the conservative movement, consolidating into a Gingrich candidacy would in fact virtually guarantee victory on Saturday, and I’d be delighted if either Perry or Santorum would do that. They have to make that decision.”
So Santorum is lying.
