Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was called out on French television for a tweet he sent about the deadly terrorist attack in Paris on Friday. The former speaker and presidential candidate had speculated in a tweet that citizens with concealed carry permits for guns would have stopped the deadly shooting at a Paris concert hall.
Gingrich's tweet prompted France 24's Mark Owen to say he found capitalizing on crises to advance a political agenda to be shameful. "Newt Gingrich, shame on you," Owen said.
"So he's using this atrocity to make his point that people should be able to carry guns basically," Owen said. "It's funny how people will very distastefully use this kind of situation to express their own particular political [inaudible]. Newt Gingrich, shame on you."
Owen declared another tweet from former New York Times reporter Judith Miller to be a "weird point."
"I don't understand what she's getting at," Owen said of a tweet from Miller. "It seems to be a strange time to make that kind of weird point."
"Now maybe the whining adolescents at our universities can concentrate on something other than their need for 'safe' spaces," Miller had tweeted.
“So he’s using this atrocity to make his point that people should be able to carry guns basically,” Owen said. “It’s funny how people will very distastefully use this kind of situation to express their own particular political [inaudible]. Newt Gingrich, shame on you.”
WHERE WAS OWEN when OBAMA used the TRAYVON MARTIN incident to argue that people should NOT be able to carry guns basically ????
It is an amazing person who is hit in the face each day by truth, and blames the people trying to help him.
Owen, not miller
They no longer say that.
The new phrase is “LIE TO WHITEY”.
Trump said same thing in his Texas rally
The white flags are flying high in France today!
It still would have been a bloodbath — but the overall casualty numbers would be lot lpwer.
Badge of honor for Newt.
Bad timing for Newt. People are dead, hurting, and injured. He should let them grieve first. It is not as though the suffering French are bags of potatoes.
...France 24's Mark Owen to say he found capitalizing on crises to advance a political agenda to be shameful.Unintential irony there. Here's what I'd like to see -- Mark Owen beheaded by jihadists. He wouldn't understand that irony either. He really is that stupid. BTW, I'd watch that video again and again.
If that cowardly cheese-eating surrender monkey that answers to ‘Mark Owen’ should ever find himself targeted by terrorists, just before he gets sodomized by some raghead screaming ‘allah akbar’, I hope he thinks about how a personal firearm could make a difference in his impending (ahem) rectal modifications.
If Newt had asked what did they expect to happen by allowing all those terrorists into their country, it would have been the same response.
France should at the very least do what vette6387 shared in another post:
The African nation of Angola has reportedly become the first country to ban Islam and Muslims, reports On Islam. Concerning the ban, Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos said Sunday this is the final end of Islamic influence in our country.
Angolan ban was first announced last Friday, when Angolan Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva said the process of legalization of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human rights, their mosques would be closed until further notice.
I took all the quotes out to avoid the strange characters.
What were the cops waiting for at the Bataclan theater. Do they have a story yet. They didn’t manage to get everyone killed. What, like 12 people got out.
They would rather have millions killed then admit that guns save lives.
That plays in Europe like poison. They are all addicted to the Kool Aid. The cops are supposed to come and rescue them.
Newt’s right on this...
“So he’s using this atrocity to make his point that people should be able to carry guns basically,” Owen said. “It’s funny how people will very distastefully use this kind of situation to express their own particular political [inaudible]. Newt Gingrich, shame on you.”
But it is OK for his fellow libs to unfailingly use tragedies to push for gun control? To hell with these morons, they are so stupid it hurts to read about it.
