In an interview with "This week' co-host Martha Raddatz, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich categorized Donald Trump's 'rigged election' claims as a "coup d'etat" against fourteen million citizens who voted for Donald Trump in the Republican primary committed by "20 media executives."
"This is about last Friday when the networks spent 23 minutes on the Trump tape," he said. "And less than one minute -- all three networks combined -- less than one minute on the Hillary Clinton’s secret speeches that were being revealed on WikiLeaks."
"I think it’s amazing that Trump is as close as he is right now, considering the one-sidedness of the news media barrage," Gingrich said.
He also said: "I’m old enough to remember when Richard Nixon had the election stolen in 1960 and no serious historian doubts that Illinois and Texas were stolen. So to suggest that we have -- that you don’t have theft in Philadelphia is to deny reality."
MARTHA RADDATZ, ABC HOST: You heard Tim Kaine talk about his concerns over charges of a rigged election, but Mr. Trump has been continuing to ramp up the rhetoric in tweets and speeches. Senator Jeff Sessions joined the chorus yesterday saying they are attempting to rig the election. So who are "they" and how are they doing this?
NEWT GINGRICH: Well, I think they are the news media. This is not about election officials at the precinct level. This is about last Friday when the networks spent 23 minutes on the Trump tape and less than one minute -- all three networks combined -- less than one minute on the Hillary Clinton’s secret speeches that were being revealed on WikiLeaks. And you look at that and you say --

I mean, I think it’s amazing that Trump is as close as he is right now, considering the one-sidedness of the news media barrage.
And the best description of it is by Barry Castleman in his blog where he said this is a coup d’etat. Fourteen million citizens and private ballots picked Donald Trump, 20 TV executives have decided to destroy him.
RADDATZ: But you say it’s not at the precinct level, but Trump has also told people to monitor polling stations.
GINGRICH: They should. You look at Philadelphia, you look at St. Louis, you look at Chicago, I mean, again I’m old enough, I remember when Richard Nixon had the election stolen in 1960 and no serious historian doubts that Illinois and Texas were stolen. So to suggest that we have -- that you don’t have theft in Philadelphia is to deny reality.
RADDATZ: So you really think this election could be stolen. Do you believe that if Mr. Trump loses, it will be because of a massive conspiracy or fraud, not because more Americans voted for someone else?
GINGRICH: I think that without the unending one-sided assault of the news media, Trump would be beating Hillary by 15 points. I think when you look at WikiLeaks and you look at all the things she has said, when you look at the deals in Russia that Bill Clinton made, and that the Clinton Foundation -- I mean, all this nonsense by Kaine about Russia, it’s Clinton, Bill Clinton, who got a half a million dollar speech. It is the Clintons who got money for the Clinton Foundation from Russia. It is -- it is Podesta who was on a Russian company advisory board that was apparently funded by Putin.
So the news media’s one-sidedness is the worst I’ve seen in my lifetime, and I’m old enough that’s a fairly long statement.
Interesting to see Alphabet networks and NYT having WH press credentials revoked if DJT wins.
MOST EXCELLENT EMAIL FROM MY FRIEND DAVID K!
I would only add that, with several exceptions (conspicuous by their rarity) this entire gang of brigands, liars and criminals is the biggest aggregation of “PLICKS” since the Bilderbergers, Skull & Bones, the CFR, Trilateral Commission and the UN all gathered at Bohemian Grove to anoint the inter-changeable little Jebby Bush and Hillary to be the next presidential candidates!
(What’s a “PLICK”? That’s a guy who leaves a dime tip in a Chinese restaurant.)
Subject: Washington Club.
My friends, I have news for you. There is no longer a GOP or Democrat party. Oh sure, they exist in name only, but Washington has evolved while the rest of us weren’t paying attention. Washington is now a club, and you’re either a member, or not. Folks like Speaker Ryan have been charter members since the day they entered Congress. Trump, on the other hand, has never been a member, and does not seek membership. Therefore, members such as Ryan, Bush, and yes, Clinton will do whatever is necessary to keep outsiders like Trump from being elected. And in case you were wondering, you and I aren’t members either, which is why I’m supporting Trump. The Washington Club can go f**k themselves.”
(Sadly, they’re too busy f**king US to devote time to David’s excellent suggestion!)
Dead on. Richard Daley in Chicago and Jim Wright in Texas.
And for the good of the nation Nixon let it go.
But the scum never quit because no one prosecutes them for it. They think cheating is OK as long as you don't get convicted - they aren't even worried about being caught! They'll just talk their way out of it. That's the Clinton MO.
All I know is that if Hillary wins this election, I am boycotting all the media in this country for life and I suggest everyone else do the same. All their TV shows, websites, newspapers. Any possible way they can make money off me, I will cut off permanently. There are many other ways to get your news and info, the foreign press for one as long as it isn’t owned by the same individuals or companies involved in the Hillary Propaganda media. I also will choose carefully what movies I watch, if any of them are financed by the same individuals involved in the Hillary Propaganda media I will not watch them. Get enough people doing this, they would be razed into the ground, utterly destroyed which is exactly where they need to be.
Saw this interview and was disappointed with Newt. At 6:33 on the video, he calls Trump “stupid”. NOT a good soundbite to hand Raddatz on a silver platter. Grrrrrr...
I’ve seen this happen at the local news level. They spin the wikileaks report to make Hillary look good then attack Trump, over and over again. I’m so damn pissed at the damn corruption in this country.
“they” includes YOU, Martha Raddatz, you scum-sucking leftist propaganda whore!!!!
“They” is the 90+% of the Mediawhores who are reliably devoted to supporting Hillary Clinton and the Democrats, facts and honesty be damned.
Washington is a Club!
Could you elaborate—Qhy did he say it? Context?
Yes it is, Newt. Those prct. levels officials are JUST as guilty of rigging the system. Show some balls and say so!!!!
And Trump ain't in it! and neither are we!
If Newt had any cajoles he would’ve brought Em out a long time ago.
Move the capitol. Congress can meet in any office building anywhere. The lobbyists can follow. Think of the property values going down in Va.
Those who remember the show will also note the similarity between Blank Reg's "Big Time TV" and various youtube channels that are replacing the MSM as real news sources.
“Any possible way they can make money off me”
Not to discourage you, and its possible it could have an affect, but if you haven’t notice WE are being replaced.
My work takes me to various warehouses and again and again i see 80-90% Hispanic and non-white workers. If it were 30 or even 40% it would make sense.
I am at a loss to explain it except for two possibilities. Either whites have completely abandoned warehouse work and or we the level of the invasion is far more than thought. Not even 30 million illegal would explain it. 50-60 million maybe?
It's been that way at most of the software companies where I've worked—since the late 1980s.
All local news MUST be written by one person
All the storied are the same. Sometimes they’re in different order.
