Everyone should take note, because THIS is how you respond to the radical left screaming about Indiana’s RFRA law. Not only does he defend Mike Pence on HuffPost Live, he calls the opposition a lynch mob and won’t back down when challenged. He also hits back at the louder voices condemning the law over their selective moral outrage and blatant hypocrisy:
Thank you, Newt! Absolutely right. (I’m not sure he was tough enough.)
About time we heard something from Newt.
Newt is for it? I may have to reconsider where I stand on it then.
I didn't expect this from New Age Newt, but I am very happy about it nonetheless. Thank you, Newt, for speaking out when no one else would. Now maybe a few more people will find their courage and join him.
Yep! We should get right back in their faces!
Well, to tell you what I’ve thought about this legislation, all along, is that it’s the “gay issue” that brought it out ... BUT ... it’s not JUST about gays, but preventing Christian business owners from being forced into do several things that they consider to be VIOLATIONS of deeply-held religious convictions!
I posted elsewhere ...

To me, this kind of legislation seems to have a lot more to do with OTHER THINGS, other than gays. It seems that the “gay issue” is driving the discussion, but to me, that “gay issue” seems to be a minor point, as compared to ALL of what legislation guaranteeing “Christian Conscience” in business is about.
Unless I’m mistaken about what this kind of bill means, I see this bill as preserving the “conscience” of a Christian owner of a business from serving or doing business with a person who violates that “religious conscience” by who they are or what they represent or what they stand for. SO, in that sense, it is NOT TARGETED at gays, but all sorts of other things that would violate the “Christian’s conscience”!
A sampling of some other things I can think of, in which one would DENY SERVICE to people, would be a group coming in for Pizza who supports ABORTION! That would really violate a Christian’s conscience.
Or, if a Mormon church group came in and had an “after church Pizza gathering” some Sunday afternoon. I would DENY THEM SERVICE as they are one of the largest CULT GROUPS in America ... and as far as I’m concerned Mormons shouldn’t get service from ANY CHRISTIAN BUSINESS WHATSOEVER, ANYWHERE!!
If Mitt Romney were to come in to that Pizza place he SHOULD BE DENIED SERVICE because of clearly being a Mormon!
I would DENY SERVICE to GLENN BECK, too, for his Mormonism!
SO ... it doesn’t appear to be a “gay issue” but a VERY REAL “Religious Conscience” issue and opens the door to CHRISTIAN BUSINESS to serving Christians and not VIOLATING their religious conscience!
He knows the media is the enemy.
Wish’d his gray hairs came from sittin’ in the oval office
Lynch mob? Good thing, then, that Loretta Lynch has not yet been confirmed. Or we would REALLY see “Lynch mobs”.
Hilarious how the leftist empty skirt has to eventually had to make her points without risking a response by changing the subject immediately afterwards.
Disgusting excuses for intelligent humans, leftists are. Disgusting and dangerous.
No bakery is ever going to force gays to eat iron crosses. And no gay should force a christian bakery to make penis shaped cakes.
But so it goes the rapist agenda of the gays marches on under the sick banner of care for discriminated children.
And then We have the idiotic apple CEO who is not seeing that this legislation protects businesses from people hijacked by the state to sue them. Because obviously businesses have no say now in frivolous lawsuits by people feeling offended for anything.
Newt. to the point!
Finally the truth.
You misread it, as do all the lib screamers.
Serving a sinner food is not a violation of any Christian morals - Jesus did it.
Participating in a gay “wedding” does for some. A wedding is a sacred Christian covenant. Gay “weddings” make a mockery of that sacred covenant. Christians should not participate in such mockeries.
Serving food, repairing cars, selling goods - there are very few instances in business where Christian morals are violated by serving a gay customer, or any other customer. But there is an obvious difference between most commerce and participating in a wedding.
His words on this are fine, Newt is good at words but in the end supports the GOPe business as usual politics.....
She is a classic example of a left wing idiot who has no idea what on earth is going on or about this law.
Why can’t other republicans articulate as good as Newt and be as knowledgeable?
Hufpost=al jazeera?
I remember Al Jazeera moralizing Marine Lepen (who has gay staff) about how the far right in France discriminates women and gays.
You cannot make this crap up, what a bunch of sniveling hypocrites.
Liberals are completely repeating the islamic retoric piloting them.
Good for Newt.
So you’re saying that because it’s a wedding, then it’s the wedding that’s the problem. BUT, if the same bunch of gays have a party next week, all of them celebrating Gay Pride Week at someone’s house ... making a bunch of Pizzas for them, and delivering it to their Gay Pride Week Party is no problem!?
SORRY ... but that would be a BIG PROBLEM for me! And that’s why Christian businesses SHOULD BE PROTECTED so they are NOT FORCED in violating their deeply-held religious beliefs.
A lynch mob made up entirely of the world’s sexual freaks.
