Newt loved those questions though, those are the ones he could really hit out the park. Abusing liberal debate moderators is a huge winner for Gingrich.
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.
