Gingrich: Gangs Have Increased By 40 Percent Since Obama Was Elected
Real Clear Politics ^ | July 21, 2013

Posted on 07/21/2013 10:19:47 PM PDT by grundle

NEWT GINGRICH: This fits perfectly with what I was going to say earlier. You have a congressman -- and I respect Bobby Rush. You have a congressman who represents the most violent city in America. You have a congressman who represents the city in which over 500 people were killed last year, 74 percent of them African-American. You have a congressman who represents the city which is 80 percent of the killings, according to police, are by gangs. Gangs have increased -- let me finish. Gangs have increased by 40 percent since this president was elected. There is no federal program to stop it. No one wants to have an honest conversation about it. And so you have a congressman whose own district is bleeding, who puts on a hoodie as a symbolic act, but he doesn't do anything about the gangs in his own district.

And Newt respects him? That’s part of the problem right there! How can anyone have respect for someone like Rush? He is a criminal with no respect for law and does not belong in government.

And to the NSA trolls, FU.

Gingrich has a pair and is not afraid do tell it like it is.

The President has put the nation on notice that he does not represent all Americans.

He represents and advocates only for blacks, muslims, homosexuals, lesbians, enemies foreign and domestic, lawyers, race hustlers, and Federal apparatchiks.

He’s also set back race relations to post civil war levels.
The POTUS has no business being involved in the Zimmerman case on any level, because it is not a Federal issue.

Just like the invasion of Pearl Harbor awakened a sleeping giant, the OUTRAGEOUS behavior of the DC apparatus with regards to this matter as well as the trampling of the Bill of Rights by this communist sympathizer in the WH and his allies in the media and the Federal Civil Service have drawn very clear lines with respect to the attitude of us chumps outside the beltway who work for a living and are subject to extortion of our paychecks via the IRS.

To quote Honest Ape Lincoln:

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

The TAXPAYERS are done with being fooled.

Watch Hillary ugly retard genius do the same thing, wedging families and race down the middle.

These two admire each other. They are loner loosers who some how found a foul way to power to get some celebrity status out of crimes against humanity and enjoying seeing divisions and confusions amongst people who would otherwise be ok with each other if left alone.

I’d like to see the stats that back that up. Country has gone to hell under the POS POTUS but this seems unlikely.

...I respect Bobby Rush.

And I respect Newt even less for that.

There is no federal program to stop it.

Nor should there be, according to Article 8, Section 10, and the 10th Amendment. This problem is owned by the City of Chicago, Cook (?) County, and at the highest Constitutional level, the State of Illinois. It's up to them to fix it.

They dont want to stop the gangs. They see the gangs as the core of their storm troopers, for when they choose to seize control.

I agree. The left loves a violent criminal class running the streets for that exact reason,

I saw the interview. He did a great job on the Zimmerman trial when debating Van Jones. Jones tried to say everyone on the left has been nonviolent. I sent Newt a link to the WFTV article about the death threats a woman is getting in Seminole county over the Zimmerman trial. The police are averaging 400 death threats per minute on social media. Newt needs this kind of ammo to combat the lies told by Van Jones.

(Twitter) Robert Zimmerman JR‏@rzimmermanjr18 Jul Many have asked: "How can I help?" Ask our leadership how long they'll turn a blind eye to the hundreds of death-threats our fam receives.

I was going to post that. The man is quite past his prime. He could hardly talk, and what he could spew was pure racial hatred talking-points. Another Rev’rund Al clone...
