Gingrich: ‘Silly’ for Trump to Kick Reporters out of Events; ‘Doesn’t Get Him Very Far’

WALLACE: "Now, you have been known to go after reporters, including me, but Trump has gone much further. He is literally kicking reporters whose coverage he doesn’t like out of public rallies."
GINGRICH: "Yes."
WALLACE: "Can you understand why some conservatives worry whether or not Trump understands the role of a free press and the First Amendment?"
GINGRICH: "You know, the thing that struck me, particularly after this event, FDR in the 1930s invented the Fireside radio chat to get past all the conservative newspapers. Trump now has a big enough social media presence that he can take on most of the news media and it’s a fair fight. And I think part of what he’s probably decided is that he wants to be very aggressive, to make sure that his supporters routinely discount any kind of news media attack."
WALLACE: "Yes, but that I can understand. Kicking reporters out of rallies?"  
GINGRICH: "I think that’s silly and I think it doesn’t get him very far. If they asked my advice, I’d say get used to the idea you’re going to be reporters around you don’t like and then you live with it. That’s part of being a public figure."
