“This is 1968 all over again.”
So said Newt Gingrich in a wide ranging interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News, during which they discussed increasing violence seen at Trump rallies in which hard-core leftists and — in the case of an event held in San Jose — angry immigrants have been causing mayhem.
The host of “Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace” referred to the brutal assaults on Trump supporters and asked the former speaker, “If these violent anti-Trump rallies continue into the convention, into the fall, how do you see it factoring into the campaign?”
“The country will become enraged,” responded Gingrich emphatically. His “1968” comment referred to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago where rage turned into street violence that became widespread.
Gingrich also recalled events in Madison, Wisconsin, when union members protested en masse against Gov. Scott Walker for doing what the people elected the Republican chief executive to do — rein in the burgeoning costs being forced upon the taxpayers by public sector unions.
“If Donald Trump is serious about changing Washington, every federal employee union will be in the streets, because the first thing you have to do to be serious is make it possible to fire corrupt, dishonest workers.”
When Wallace asked if there might be a backlash, Gingrich stated, “When people see the American flag being burned, they don’t side with the people burning the American flag.”
“I think it drives Hillary and Sanders into a very narrow box,” Newt said, adding:
“This is 1968 all over again. This is the hard left saying “If you don’t do what we want, we’re going to be physically violent and we’re going to pick on some woman who can’t defend herself,”” said Gingrich. “I don’t think that is sustainable and I think the American people will be repulsed by the idea that the hard left gets to dictate to the rest of us.”
Only a few days ago, longtime conservative stalwart Pat Buchanan said much the same thing as the former speaker — that the mayhem outside rallies could build credibility for Trump and help give credence to the businessman’s campaign, as most believe that the protestors themselves are more to blame for the violence than the candidate or his supporters are.
On the Fox News show on Sunday, Gingrich also spoke about the uptick in criticisms made by Hillary Clinton against the likely Republican nominee on the campaign trail.
Gingrich slammed Clinton’s attacks on the billionaire businessman’s ethics, saying, “You have to love the degree to which Hillary lives in an alternative universe in which nothing she has done counts against whatever she says.”
