Newt Gingrich on Fox News Channel's Hannity | March 22, 2021

NEWT:

Look, I have to confess, as you walked through all that, I was reminded of the old joke that Christ walks on water and it's reported in "The Washington Post" he can't swim. Whatever Trump did was bad, whatever Biden does is good. Let's start with that. And that tells you a lot about how misinformed the American people are and what a dereliction of duty the news media is engaged in. I think if you went back and watched everybody that went into Air Force One in the modern form, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump. None of them seemed to be affected by the wind. So, this is all malarkey. I mean we are going to figure out a term to deal with a press secretary that is so cheerfully dishonest that we have to have some kind of way of shrugging and saying "there she goes again" to quote Ronald Reagan. She has an impossible job, and her answer is routine, 100% dishonesty. She's not a press secretary. She's a propaganda defender of impossible situations.

NEWT:

A couple quick things about this first of all, you have to recognize this is a machine. I mean how do you get every single Democrat in the House to vote the same way? How do you get every single Democrat in the Senate to vote the same way? It's a machine. There's no representing the American people. They represent the machine. How do you keep the machine together? You pay it off on values. You pass bills that are horrible unless you're a woke left wing Democrat. Second, it comes down to the Jerry Maguire movie: "Show me the money." These guys have to spend all of this to pay off their allies to hold their system together because without the taxpayer's money, their system is going to collapse. That is what is happening in New York, in New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, California. There's a desperation underneath this to be able to rip off the American people, transfer it to their allies, meet the demand of Jerry Maguire, show me the money and pretend they're doing it for the American people.

NEWT:

I think they would win in a landslide. Let me just give you one number. 90% of the American people -- by the way, 92% of Hispanic Americans -- believe every immigrant should be tested for COVID. If you have a 90% issue, I don't understand why the Republicans aren't offering them in the Senate every day and aren't moving a petition in the House and forcing the fight. That's how far away from reality the Democrats are. They're a machine with no ties to the American people.
