    Default Gingrich jumps the shark

    Did everyone see this? He said that members of the House committee investigating 1/6 face a "real risk of jail?"

    What a lunatic he is now. He's also been one of the more vocal proponents of the Big Lie.

    He could have had the legacy of a statesman. What he & Clinton accomplished by working TOGETHER in the '90's was great for the country, and probably the last time we've seen that kind of comity between the parties and commitment to working for the common good.

    Now, he's just a clown, dancing for Trump like the rest of 'em.

    Newt Gingrich turned partisan battles into bloodsport, wrecked Congress, and paved the way for Trump’s rise. Now he’s reveling in his achievements.

    Gingrich was always a jerk. Like Trump. They never were good.

    In Burning Down the House, historian Julian Zelizer pinpoints the moment when our country was set on a path toward an era of bitterly partisan and ruthless politics, an era that was ignited by Newt Gingrich and his allies. In 1989, Gingrich brought down Democratic Speaker of the House Jim Wright and catapulted himself into the national spotlight. Perhaps more than any other politician, Gingrich introduced the rhetoric and tactics that have shaped Congress and the Republican Party for the last three decades.

    "But few figures in modern history have done more than Gingrich to lay the groundwork for Trump’s rise. During his two decades in Congress, he pioneered a style of partisan combat—replete with name-calling, conspiracy theories, and strategic obstructionism—that poisoned America’s political culture and plunged Washington into permanent dysfunction. Gingrich’s career can perhaps be best understood as a grand exercise in devolution—an effort to strip American politics of the civilizing traits it had developed over time and return it to its most primal essence.

    Newt has lost his appeal to the right wing media, so to get his fifteen minute sound bites he has had to get more outrageous, not easy competing against the Greenes, Gaetz, and Boeharts out there

    He 1st said it on Bartiromo's show, also - another one that decided to abandon years of work building a solid reputation in favor of the Big Lie.

    Trump has left such a trail of carnage. He has ruined many reputations, careers and lives.
