I still think that was a total setup from the beginning FOR Newt. John King has known Newt since 1993, long before King ever even joined CNN.
I would really be shocked if that was a true “gotcha” type question. In reality I think King asked on purpose to give Newt a slam dunk and allow him to attack.
Yeah, you make a good point - the two of them certainly didn't seem to be upset with one another after the debate. Either way, it was fun to watch.
