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.

I would die before I would attend Biden’s inauguration.
Not if it's not asked for.
Gingrich did not say "Trump should probably attend Biden's inauguration."
HEWLITT: “Should President Trump attend the inauguration of President-elect Biden?”
GINGRICH: “Probably. I think that we’ve only had a couple of presidents in history who didn’t. John Quincy Adams didn’t. And the Republicans in 1868 didn’t. But other than those two, it’s a routine. If he does not go, I think he has to explain why. And I’ve written a piece on why I will not give up, in which I’m pretty aggressive about this in general. Not so much the election, but the whole process of where the country is right now, which I think is extraordinarily dangerous. So I think Trump’s got to decide, you know, what best communicates his message. I think his instinct is not to go because he’s convinced the election was stolen."
N ewww t
Trump has no reason to attend the inauguration of a man who cheated to displace him in the White House. The podium will be filled with people who have nothing but contempt for Trump, including the Chief Justice who will swear Biden in. There’s no need to pretend - these people are the enemy. There’s no reason for Trump to be there.
Not no, but hell no.
I’m not a sucker and President Trump should be one either. If the casino steals your hand you don’t tip the dealer.
It was posted this way to get people riled up over clickbait
Newt, that’s the first stupid thing I’ve ever heard you say.
He should not go, but hire someone to wear a Russian hat and hand gold envelopes to certain attendees.
with a stink you know what
That’s how I see it too.
Me like
“Gingrich won’t accept Biden as president”
Must be some other Newt.
No President has all the answers. Washington didn't. Jefferson didn't. President Trump doesn't
Newt is a mess of a man.
The only way Trump should attend is if he’s got a truckload of handcuffs to drag all the scum out of there with.
Yes, by all means, lets play by Marcus of Queensberry rules. /s
I honestly think it’s time to forget about trappings of decency
and let the Left know it’s all out war from here on out.
We’ve watched them defile our government
We’ve watched them defile our schools
We’ve watched them defile our media
We’ve watched them defile our elections
We’ve watched them defile our children
We’ve watched them defile our culture
I’m thinking there isn’t much left for them to defile,
and now they’re going to want to go over other lines that
will qualify as ‘crimes against humanity’.
So no, I think it’s time we do away with the trappings of
cooperation, and start playing the same game they’ve been
playing, or at least devise a plan to do it by Constitutional
means. If we can’t, well, we didn’t ask for this.
Newt can fill in. He loves these type of events. I’d pass if I were Trump.
“[S]hould President Trump attend the inauguration of President-elect Biden?” Hewitt asked Gingrich.
“Probably,” Gingrich replied
These same people to whom you say we must show civility used anarchists and racists to kill, maim, burn, steal and inflict so much terror, the politicians and judges refuse to do their jobs right.
Unnamed legislator: ‘I would do what is right but Antifa would come to my door so I can’t.’
Chief Justice Roberts: ‘It could cause riots.”
Because we all know that people who support Antifa and BLM are so civil.
