The Newtster displayed loyalty to Trump by standing up against The Bleeder.
I remember Fox News was really hard on Newt when he ran in 2012, even though he had been a contributor to Fox for ten years.
“Gingrich and Santorum had been Fox commentators before getting into the race, and Ailes found their complaints self-serving and disloyal. Brian Lewis, his spokesman, asked Ailes for guidance on how to respond to Newt. “Brush him back,” Ailes said. “He’s a sore loser and if he had won he would have been a sore winner.” Lewis nodded.
Ailes was silent for a moment and then added, “Newt’s a prick.”
