NEWT gives us Mittens: "They apparently looted the companies, left people unemployed and walked off"

Gingrich Rips Romney's Business Record
In a Today Show interview, Newt Gingrich stepped up his attacks on Mitt Romney's business record at Bain Capital.

Said Gingrich: "They apparently looted the companies, left people unemployed and walked off with millions of dollars. Look, I'm for capitalism, I'm for people who go in to save a company... if somebody comes in takes all the money out of your company, and then leaves you bankrupt while they go off with millions, that's not traditional capitalism."

“I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell.”

At least as long as the truth suits Newt's convenience, of course.

Gingrinch still supports pure unfettered capitalism, the same kind Mitt practices.

Who's he trying to bullshit? Who are any of these neo-fascists trying to bullshit?
