Romney’s lying during the debate (the “resigned in disgrace” meme)

That part was true.

As Ron Paul said, Gingrich resigned as Speaker because he knew he didn't have the votes to win another term as speaker.

His own party members tried to get rid of him as Speaker just a few months earlier.

FOX had Krauthammer talk about whether or not Romney’s oft-repeated ‘resigned in disgrace’ charge was true or not. Charles did a nice job explaining what was going on during that time politically & said Newt “resigned in defeat” due to no confidence as also, for example, did Maggie Thatcher. There is no shame in resigning in ‘defeat’ and it’s a far different thing than ‘disgrace’. My elderly mom was watching & she turned to me and said “Romney lied .... he LIED”. Yup.
