    No primetime speech will ever top Gingrich and the "More Illegitimacy" sign. I wonder if he has it framed somewhere in his office.

  5. Yup. This is the same company that #KristiNoem is connected with... #StrategyGroup!

    From 2013: Inside The Meltdown At America’s Most #Conservative, Most Christian Political Consulting Firm

    #RexElsass built a Republican empire on his faith. But he found himself battling his closest allies over his immortal soul.

    " 'It's a cult,' said one Republican operative who was once courted by Elsass and now sees himself as a competitor. 'You take young people who get enamored by driving around in a Bentley, or getting to fly around in a private plane, and stay in sick rooms, and see massive dollars spent on them, but not given to them — and there's a huge difference there — and you're the master in controlling that dynamic. You control the experience and then you get them hooked in, then you get them to do all sorts of things. They start to lose their soul.' "

    "There are at least 40 #Republicans currently in Congress who have worked with the #StrategyGroup, which serves as a campaign and strategy clearing house for the uncompromisingly conservative wing of the congressional caucus that has been at the center of American politics since 2010.

    "Though the Strategy Group's ranks have swelled over the past year — as the company expands beyond its advertising roots and into public relations, voter contact, and research — it continues to be defined by its larger-than-life founder. Elsass is a round, loud, cigar-smoking good 'ol boy with a private jet; a worldview rooted, he'll be quick to tell you, in his Christian faith; and a shameless killer instinct that has turned his company into one of the country's most in-demand political consulting firms. The firm had the rare distinction of working, serially, for two presidential candidates last year — Michele Bachmann then #NewtGingrich. Other clients include the great Right hopes of 2016: Senators Rand Paul and #TedCruz. One of the driving forces behind the conservative surge of 2010, when they had more than two dozen #TeaParty clients, the Strategy Group stands poised to ride a similar wave in the upcoming elections."

  7. But in the years that followed, the strength of local #PublicTelevision & #PublicRadio stations in conservative states was often what saved the #federal #funding.

    In 1995, #NewtGingrich, then the #House speaker, made one of the most aggressive moves since #Nixon to “zero out” federal support for #PublicMedia before he found it politically untenable.

    #Republican hate & fear-mongering goes back a bit further than #Fox.

    If I were to pinpoint a specific year/person, it would be 1994 when #NewtGingrich went scorched-Earth to destroy the #Democratic Party in order to win back control of the house after 40 years.

    Before that, Dem Speaker of the House Tip O'Neil was good friends with Reagan. The two Parties actually worked together.

    The #GOP then embraced #Evangelicals and they went to war. 😒

  11. @originlbookgirl @TonyStark That has been the plan. Dumb down Americans so a tyrant can sneak up on them. It was designed by Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society, the Koch brothers and their network and the Heritage Foundation under Peter Thiel. It really began with #KarlRove and #NewtGingrich and a huge power monger #MitchMcConnell #uspol

  13. #Trump reportedly felt most comfortable w/ #ChrisChristie, but his daughter #Ivanka held a grudge against the fmr prosecutor, who had helped send her father-in-law, #CharlesKushner, to #jail. #NewtGingrich was a pass since an ex-wife had called the congressman out for cheating, & Trump had already secured the #adulterer vote. #MikePence, a #BibleThumping outsider, seemed like a boring long shot… until fate intervened.

  15. How could Team #Trump think #JDVance was a winning idea? The answer could lie in a parallel moment 8 yrs ago, the last time Trump had to decide on a running mate. It was the summer of 2016, & the then #realityTV host had whittled the field down to 3 final contenders: fmr Speaker of the House #NewtGingrich, then-NJ Gov #ChrisChristie, & Gov #MikePence of Indiana.

  17. "It was a GREAT meeting! Possibly the greatest meeting in human history! CEOs were lining up with tears in their eyes for the opportunity to prostrate themselves and pay homage to the single most AMAZING president in American history. They were kissing my hand as they said, 'Sir! I feel as though I am before the Lord himself! Please, take all my money! Take all my shares!' Don't believe the lies you've heard! Just ask #LarryKudlow and #NewtGingrich!" ~#Trump

    I think a lot about the way #Republicans run elections, picking at threads until they turn them into giant controversies that #Democrats spend all their time defending (drawing attention away from their OWN worse offenses.)

    Bronze Star recipient John Kerry was #Swiftboat'ed to distract from #AWOLBush. #NewtGingrich investigated Bill Clinton's affairs while HE HIMSELF was having an affair.

    #Democrats should be asking all the time: #WhereIsMelania? #IOKIYAR

  21. @GottaLaff @JaneDoeTheFirst 3) never in my wildest dreams until #KarlRove and #NewtGingrich with assistance from #rushlimbaugh started taking the #GOP down the rabbit hole of name-calling, misinformation, disinformation regarding our government agencies and calling Clinton names I thought were treasonous and tuned them out forever until I realizing they and #LeonardLeo were playing the long game with the #FederalistSociety and judges. #DemocracySuffered

  23. .@Wikipedia reminds us that OTD in 1997 West College #Georgia History professor #NewtGingrich made #histodons as 1st House #Speaker to be reprimanded (395-28 🗳️) 👉 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o

    He was reprimanded for #ethics violations related to claiming tax deductions for spreading #propaganda in class and “spending little time teaching history.”

    Yes! Nobody could have imagined, much less predicted that.

    #Obama's election threw #White #Christians into apoplectic rage, paving the way for #TeaParty, #NewtGingrich, and the #religious #FarRight, culminating in #MAGA and #Trump

    #GOP

  26. Alle gegen alle!

    Republikaner #NewtGingrich ruft zu Rauswurf von #MattGaetz aus Partei auf.

  27. Hillary Clinton could not become president while under FBI investigation, but Trump's indictments are no problem ...
