Newt did not say Zimmerman stepped outside the law.
No, you’re correct, I apologize.
Gingrich said :The young man apparently was not following the person who’s being — who’s being investigated. Apparently the man, the shooter, was following the young man. Now that’s — that’s not a stand your own ground, that’s a chase the other person into their ground.
Gingrich also said the Police Chief had been suspended, that is not true. The Police Chief stepped down and the DA recused herself.
I love Gingrich and for the most part I think he was correct on with most of his comments but he also got some of it wrong. It is not my favorite Gingrich moment.
