Tuesday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich sounded off on the prospect of President Donald Trump attending President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration after contesting the 2020 presidential election results over allegations of voter fraud.
Gingrich told Hugh Hewitt, host of “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” that Trump needs to figure out which option between attending the inauguration or skipping it is better for his message. However, Gingrich said the outgoing president should “probably” end up going because it is the routine.

Hell no ...don’t legitimize FRAUD...
I understand your point but I submit that civility in D.C. is dead and has been for some time. And the election and its aftermath has made any sort of healing or unity impossible so why even try?
Newt’s big problem, reflected in all his presidential campaigns and throughout his whole career, that’s always fundamentally made him a lightweight, is that there are two Newts, a bad one ad a good one. Whenever he gets up in the morning he doesn’t know which will come out or when it will. Indeed, each can come out at different times in the same day. That makes him entertaining but disqualifies him for major offices. This is one of his Bad Newt times.
Newt, YOU go to the invalid inauguration next month. I hope they’ll all be Trump supporters in that crowd! They’d all be hissing and booing at you.
Newt thinks he’s a master at deception, and from this he thinks he’s a visionary.
First he says something to make us think he’s on our side.
Then says something else to further the deep state narrative.
What he doesn’t perceive is that deceptive behavior is the product of blindness, not vision.
Et Tu, Newt?
Biden supported the Impeachment of President Trump as did many that will be attending. There's no reason to attend - it won't advance the healing process or bind the wounds already inflicted. Perhaps another event can do that.
Of course Trump should not attend.
It show’s he’s at least “trying”. Not showing up can actually be used in very damaging ways in the court of public opinion. It’s just not worth it, IMO.
My exact theory about George Will. There was George Will the genius who could write or speak extremely well, cogently and on point. And then there was the hack George Will. Unfortunately, in his dotage we only saw the hack trying to fill a page.
Trump should leave the keys on the desk and head to Florida. Why legitimize a fraud

You have accurately measured this. History is going to show this was a fraud so why legitimize it?
Looks like the dam burst today on Trump’s support. I just heard Rush say that he will always believe the election was stolen.
So now, the reality of the theft is relegated to just a belief.
We are finished as a nation, and with our eyes wide open.
I hope president trump does a huge rally on the opposite coast at the exact same time as the inauguration. Attending a celebration of Biden’s theft of the office?
HELL NO!!!!!!!
EXACTLY!!! Why go to a wedding of someone who murdered your daughter!!!!
Presumably that's what he meant by “probably” end up going because it is the routine. Bill and Huma made it too. And GWB and Carter.
I hope he doesn’t legitimize Biden’s theft and high treason.
We need to stop listening to self anointed celebrities who think their opinions are so much better than our own. That was Trumps mistake, listening to anyone other than himself.
MY opinion is that everyone who voted for Trump should stop working tomorrow and claim fear of COVID prevents employment and apply for unemployment and never work again until Trump is president. That would take courage and commitment but it would not take long for it to break the stranglehold that China has on us. All the U.S. investments tank and they are done. Also, picket lines for wetback scabs manned by big guys with bats might be needed. Fighting back in a peaceful way, i.e, the non-existent justice system, is not working so what is left?
I swear, some of these so-called Republicans like Newt, who feel they have to comment on things that are of no concern to them, remind me of Hollywood bimbos like Cher and Bette Midler.
