I don’t see a slam of Cruz either.
Newt told the crowd THEY misunderstood Cruz, a great orator.
Newt tried to fill the hole that Cruz dug.
Newt did that to repair the unity that Cruz had shredded.
Newt KNOWS what the media would do with the crap Cruz caused.
and tried to mitigate it.
I tend to agree with your assessment.
I went back and transcribed what he said and what you said is exactly how I took it. A cover up, trying to get past it.

But that’s the SLAM - don’t you get it? Cruz went through ALL that trouble to be an offensive, arrogant, narcissistic prick, and by Newt turning it all around (by suggesting that Cruz meant something he obviously didn’t) just pulled the rug out from under Cruz’s petty behavior. BAM.
Nice to see Paul Ryan enthusiastically endorsing.. oh, Pence. Too bad he wasn’t 1/100th as enthusiastic about Trump himself.
Obviously you have no sense of irony or sarcasm. Newt twisted Cruz's words, stuffed them down his throat and then threw Cruz into the hole he dug for himself.
You just saw genius in action and were too dumb to see it. Go off and think about it quietly until you understand what happened.
