Newt Slams Romney's 'Very Poor' Comments

Newt Slams Romney's 'Very Poor' Comments

Unsurprisingly, Newt Gingrich has joined the chorus of people decrying Romney for his (admittedly rather taken out of context) gaffe of saying “I’m not concerned about the very poor.” According to MSNBC, Gingrich said the following:

"I am fed up with politicians in either party pitting Americans against each other. I am running to be the president of all the American people, I am concerned about all the American people."

Train wreck is too mild a description for the Republican primary.
