VIDEO: Gingrich nukes CNN’s John King
Although I don’t necessarily agree with the “Gingrich Wins The GOP Debate In The First Five Minutes” title of this video, I do think Newt handled the situation admirably. As the dinosaur media attempted to repeat their latest yellow journalism narrative, Gingrich bashed CNN’s John King for opening the debate with a question about the salacious “open marriage” accusation from Newt’s ex-wife. Instead of keeping a presidential debate focused on the issues facing our nation and the candidates’ stance on each, CNN chose to lead with rumor and innuendo surrounding an old scandal that Gingrich has already explained and apologized for. I think Newt was right to call them on it. (via The Blaze)
Asked if he wanted to respond to his ex-wife’s claims, Gingrich blazed, “No. But I will. I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country.”
He added that this type of negativity prevents “decent people” from seeking public office.
“I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office.”
The crowd erupted in applause.
“I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that!”
“Every person in here knows personal pain, Gingrich elaborated. “To take an ex-wife and make it two days before the primary a significant question in a presidential campaign is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine.”
“I am frankly astounded that CNN would take trash like that and use it to open a presidential debate.”
When King attempted to explain that it was not his network that aired the report, Gingrich would not let him off that easy. Incensed, he roared, “Don’t try to blame anybody else. You and your staff chose to start your debate with it. Let me be clear, the story is false.”
“John, it was repeated by your network. You chose to start the debate with it.”
He added, “The story is false.”
“Every personal friend I have who knew us in that period says the story is false. We offered several of them to ABC to prove it was false. They weren’t interested because they would like to attack any Republican..I am tired of the elite media protecting Barack Obama by attacking Republicans.”
If Bill Clinton had this kind of clarity and boldness at the beginning of the Monica Lewinsky scandal instead of lying under oath to Congress, he wouldn’t have had to be impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice.
