Progressives angry about the extensive amount of free, sympathetic coverage Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gets on Fox News may have found an unlikely ally in former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
During Monday's episode of Fox & Friends, Gingrich took the hosts to task for giving Trump a massive platform to spread his views -- likely referring to the network's wall-to-wall coverage of his campaign as well as Fox & Friends' regularly scheduled Monday segments featuring Trump as a pundit, which ran from 2011 to 2015.
"This time the billionaire is spending the least amount of money and running away with this thing," co-host Brian Kilmeade said, according to Media Matters. It's going to make people... "
"Well, but that's because of you guys," Gingrich interjected....

Think of Donald Trump as a round of chemo for our constitutional republic. He makes more sense that way.
Gingrich is jealous of Trump
He wishes he could run the campaign that Trump is running
Libtards are angry? Libtards pray the GOP nominates him.
You’re a little off the mark. We heard gingrich on Fox last week saying generally good things about Trump.
He was only making the point to F&F that they shouldn’t complain about his success after all the free publicity they’ve given him.
But of course, he would not lose his hair.
Well said.
Newt is seeing the changing of the Guard, and is off balance by it. I mean TRUMP is older than Newt possibly, but the times have demanded a God send and TRUMP has filled the bill for America.
Fox thinks it is a race between Trump and Rubio. Fox News is the enemy of conservatism.
I loved you when you were my Congressman before 1998.
Since then I would not waste a heimlich maneuver on you.
Eat it, Newt.
Wow. Now Newt is turning on Trump??? Got is orders, I guess.
Such humbug!

Hell... Hannity gave Trump a one hour free campaign ad on Monday night! He and Eric Boling are in the tank for Trump.
Most other programs have been pushing Rubio for weeks,
The village idiot Geraldo has been showing what an ass he is by repeatedly defending Hillary against all of the felony charges that are building up on her, and doing his birther thing that Cruz is not eligible to be POTUS. GR is a puke!
Yes, he was a regular. That’s where I learned that he didn’t like the Iraq War and wasn’t too fond of the Bushes. Those who say this is a new thing for him weren’t watching.
Those who say Trump is a Democrat is incorrect
If you think about it Trump stop being a Republican when the Bushes came into office. Trump was a Republican when Reagan was President. Trump was lost for a while but came back to become a Republican against when Obama became President.
Trump is basically anti Bush/Obama. Any Conservative would be anti-Bush/Obama. Maybe he was way ahead of a lot of Conservatives who took so long to realize this
LOL - Perhaps it has something to do with, I don’t know, perhaps THE CANDIDATE’S MESSAGE. Perhaps.
I think that’s right.
Also, as a NYer, it is often the case that one changes party to vote for the candidate of choice. Sometimes, in the past in NYC, a more conservative Democrat ran for office against a liberal Republican. When I was a kid in the silk stocking district, my representative was a wild-eyed liberal Republican. So, I’m sure more conservative types would reregister to vote for a candidate of the opposite party.
But you can’t tell that to freepers - they just don’t want to hear this story.
“Ducey pointed out that they reached out to ALL campaigns from day one.
ALL of them told them no to the interviews.”
The other candidates are afraid of uncontrolled media exposure.
Hannity said that some refused to come on his show.
Fox is supposed to be all globalist, anti-American-American now.
I have a different word for it, but I’ll defer...
