Gingrich: Pelosi Is "Vicious" And "Dishonest"
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA) tells ABC News that current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has "viciously" and "dishonestly" turned on the troops.
Gingrich said:
"It's very hard for me to talk calmly about where we are. I think this is the most despicable, dishonest and vicious political effort I've seen in my lifetime. Right after 9/11, this country was terrified. We had an anthrax attack; we had a real danger that there might be a nuclear attack. We were deeply worried about terrorists.
Nancy Pelosi was the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee. She had an absolute obligation to know what was going on and she had an absolute obligation to speak up.
Men and women risk their lives all over this planet protecting us. And she has now viciously and dishonestly turned on them.
It is despicable. As an Army brat, I find it unbelievably offensive that left wing Democrats don't care about defending America. They care about hunting down and purging their political opponents in a way which is going to cripple ths country.
If you were a young man or woman out there today would you feel comfortable doing anything to defend America knowing that tomorrow they could decide you are a criminal?
I think people need to understand that this is really, really dangerous, and it is going to get a lot of people killed, if we don't call a halt to it."
