Newt Gingrich Blames Drowned Migrant and Child on Democrats: They 'Refuse to Control the Border'


By Morgan PhillipsJul 3rd, 2019, 11:52 am

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich slammed Democrats for the border crisis Wednesday, and particularly Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whom he called “viciously dishonest.”

On Fox News show America’s Newsroom, anchor Bill Hemmer played a clip of conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh — who joked on air that drinking toilet water is a “step up” for migrants — accusing Ocasio-Cortez of lying about conditions at detention centers.

“99 Democrats voted against humanitarian aid,” Gingrich said on Fox.

Last week, the Democrat-controlled House passed a progressive humanitarian aid package, but when it went to the Senate, Alabama Republican Richard Shelby substituted that bill for a bipartisan compromise. When it went back to the House, members of the Progressive Caucus opposed the bill. The bill included $4.59 billion in emergency aid to the border. 95 Democrats voted against the measure, but it passed the House 305 to 102.

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned . . ."

Priest wonders how many back-ups it's going to take this time to hear all of Newt's confession.

...but the past 30 (40?) years have proven him to be so consistently dishonest the only thing coming out of his mouth that should be taken at face value is vomit.

The man is one of the top engineers driving the polarization of American politics.
