Gingrich: Those Eight ‘Traitors’ Have ‘No Clue What They Were Unleashing,’ ‘No Plan to Put it Back Together’

EXCERPT:

GINGRICH: “No, look, I think if Jim Jordan, if he has a chance tomorrow, if they vote tomorrow, if he can get the 217 votes, I am all for him. I think he’s a smart guy. I think he’s a very solid conservative, I think he’s reached out and tried to become a very broad leader, in a way that he would be, I think, a very strong speaker of the House. The point I’ve made in my newsletter, which is coming out of ‘Gingrich 360’ tonight and reporting straightforward, if Jordan can’t win and if Scalise can’t win, then, first of all, the people you should really blame are the eight Republicans who are Benedict Arnolds who are traitors, who joined with the Democrats to cause total chaos with no idea what was going to come next. Those eight people didn’t have a clue what they were unleashing, and they had no plan for how to put it back together. And now they’ve legitimized, if they get to be idiots, everybody else gets to be an idiot. And suddenly you have a party looking at each other, yelling at each other, and being pretty angry about the state they’re in.”
