“Everybody need to know the source is Politico.”
You still have to look at it in context. I doubt that even you think Politico made up this story about Newt attacking Cain on Anita Hill.
Well, if Newt is pandering to politico to be PC, he screwed up. He should have said “I have no opinion at all on that, maybe Anita Hill does support him for all I know”.
