Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) “unleashed the demons” when he spearheaded an effort last year to oust former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his leadership post. Gingrich was responding to a question from Fox host Laura Ingraham about why some House Republicans, including Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) and Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.), have been leaving Congress before the end of their terms. Gingrich said that, in part, Gaetz’s effort last year ending McCarthy’s tenure as Speaker should not be downplayed and that, since then, the lower chamber has been a “disaster.”

Newt Gingrich Goes Scorched Earth on Liz Cheney Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich criticized Liz Cheney, accusing her of dishonesty, manipulation, and destructive behavior. He linked such claims to a lawsuit filed by Stefan Passantino, alleging unethical conduct by Cheney and the January 6 committee. Gingrich highlighted Cheney’s alleged manipulation of a witness and the subsequent changes in testimony, raising concerns regarding her credibility.

John Kerry’s call to end all coal-powered electricity generation is “silly” and “self-destructive,” writes former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and “makes the United States look delusional.” In his punchy essay, Gingrich insists that it is “not hyperbole or exaggeration” to call John Kerry “crazy,” since the word crazy means “marked by thought or action that lacks reason.” Mr. Kerry’s failing mental state was on full display during his recent “emotional speech” to the United Nations Climate Change Conference, where he made a plea to “end all coal burning power plant construction in the entire world.”

Former House speaker and Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich said Monday on Fox News Channel’s “FOX & Friends” that moderate Republicans will likely face primary challenges if they vote against a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. When asked for his reaction to Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) saying he has the necessary votes, Gingrich said, “If you’re a Democrat, you have to ask yourself, do you want to vote against learning what happened with Chinese money, Russian money, Kazakhstan money, Romanian money, Ukraine money. And do you really want to go home saying yes I defending Joe Biden’s right...

Tuesday, during an appearance on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said the reaction from the global left in recent weeks, which he included elections in Italy and Argentina and former President Donald Trump’s polling numbers, was “desperation.” According to the former House Speaker, the world was rejecting “left-wing radical, socialist values.” “I said that this is literally the behavior of an entire system, which understands that it’s on the verge of being destroyed,” he said. “They’re looking at what happened in Italy. They’re looking at what just happened this last week in Argentina. There is a...

During an appearance on Tuesday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Hannity,” former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich declared those Republicans who voted to remove Kevin McCarthy from the House Speaker’s post earlier in the day to be “traitors.” “I think it’s a very sad day because I think Kevin McCarthy is one of the most talented leaders I’ve ever worked with,” he said. “I think that he accomplished an amazing amount for having a small majority and being — having to take on both the Senate and the White House. And I think this is really a tragic outcome. This was...

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Tuesday called on House Republicans to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and defeat his motion to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his post. In a scathing op-ed published in The Washington Post, Gingrich attacked the Florida Republican as “anti-Republican” and said Gaetz was engaging in “childish behavior” and “has become actively destructive to the conservative movement. “Gaetz’s motion to remove McCarthy should be swiftly defeated, and then he should be expelled from the House Republican Conference. House Republicans have far more important things to do than entertain one member’s ego,” Gingrich wrote....

Thursday on FNC’s “Hannity,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich observed President Joe Biden’s detachment that was on display during his visit to a fire-ravage Maui last week. Gingrich called Biden “clearly out of it,” and said it begged the question of who was calling the shots inside the Biden administration. “Well, look, I thought his performance in Maui was so bad. He was so clearly out of it that, frankly, I think it’s frightening,” he said. “This is not about politics and scoring points. This is the commander-in-chief of the most powerful military in the world, and it’s clear that...

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich claims he heard through a Washington insider that Monday’s indictment of Donald Trump was thrown into motion last minute at the urging of “somebody” in D.C. “The reaction is so bad on Friday that I am told — this is hearsay, but I am told by a reliable source that Friday evening, somebody from Washington called the district attorney in Atlanta and said, ‘You have to indict on Monday. We have to cover up all of the mistakes we just made with Wiess,'” Gingrich alleged, referring to District Attorney Fani Willis. “And she...

This explains why Willis' Indictment was so hap hazard. Amateur hour at the Georgia DA's office.

Historian and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA) gave a stark assessment of the indictment of President Trump by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for challenging the 2020 presidential election in Georgia in an interview Monday night on the Fox News Channel show Hannity. Gingrich warned, “we are drifting towards the greatest Constitutional crisis since the 1850s, uh, and the rise of secession and the Civil War,”…that will “(establish) a moment of bitterness, which I think will last for a generation or more.” Newt Gingrich: "We are drifting towards the greatest constitutional crisis since the 1850s," Trump's...

Newt Gingrich:“We are drifting towards the greatest constitutional crisis since the 1850’s and the rise of secession and civil war,” he said on Fox News. “I don’t mean that as hyperbole.” “What you are seeing across the country is a desperate, last ditch effort by a corrupt machine to destroy their most dangerous opponent in a way that not only breaks the constitution, destroys the rule of law and establishes a moment of bitterness which I think will last for a generation or more" “This is going to be a horrendous period. The people who want to control America and...

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich advised former President Trump not to waste his time debating rivals for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination during a Tuesday morning guest spot with FBN's "Mornings With Maria" Bartiromo. NEWT GINGRICH: In the national polls, [Trump is] up over Biden by a bigger margin than Governor DeSantis. Look, I think Governor DeSantis has been a very good governor in Florida, I think he's very successful, he's certainly done a great job with the state. I think he found it very hard to transition to being a presidential candidate. He had a chance to make it...

Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich reacts to Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo’s exclusive interview with Donald Trump on ‘Sunday Morning Futures.’ "The big difference is in 2017, Trump was a businessman under tremendous assault from the FBI and the New York Times and the Washington Post, learning the trade. Now, he has had enough time to think it through. I think his first year is going to be astonishing. And I think people are going to be amazed at how much he can get done; how big of a team he can assemble. And frankly barring some enormous change he is...

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) testified Thursday before a federal grand jury investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, according to CNN. The former House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 riot alleged last September that Gingrich had provided feedback to the Trump campaign about advertisements promoting the former president’s unsubstantiated claims about voter fraud and discussed “coordinating” state electors. In a letter to the former Speaker requesting a voluntary interview, the committee said that Gingrich communicated with former Trump senior advisers Jared Kushner and Jason Miller on campaign ads about the election, after it had been declared for...

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Sunday applauded the debt limit deal forged by House Republicans and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) with President Joe Biden. Gingrich took to social media to set out his thoughts on what he hailed as a “dramatic victory.” He said: The Debt limit deal is a dramatic victory for Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans. Before they passed their history changing bill no one would have believed it possible to cut spending, reestablish work requirements, reform permitting for energy and infrastructure and more

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said former President Donald Trump is “a live direct threat to the death of corruption, dishonesty, and extremism” of the Left. While appearing on Life, Liberty, & Levin, Gingrich said the allegations facing former President Donald Trump have “no parallel” because Trump is the “first person to have the courage and the willpower to take on the entire corrupt, extremist establishment. And they're fighting in the fight of their life.” “Trump is to the domestic corrupt establishment what Ronald Reagan was to the Soviet empire,” Gingrich said. "The truth is the indictment in...

Cites estimates Democrats stripping $900 billion out of programs.. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who was key to the GOP takeover of the U.S. House in the 1990s and orchestrated his party's famously successful "Contract with America" for voters, says Joe Biden's new budget plan is a Social Security killer. ... "anyone who wants to protect Social Security and Medicare should reject Joe Biden's newly released budget." He said it's not complicated. "Biden’s proposed tax and regulatory increases would crush the economy. Undermining economic growth would lead to dramatically lower tax revenues – including revenues for the FICA tax –...
