Gingrich Defends Attacks Against Romney
At tonight’s South Carolina GOP Debate, Bret Baier questioned Newt Gingrich about his attacks on Mitt Romney saying that in September Gingrich had vowed to “repudiate every effort of the news media to get Republicans to fight each other to protect Barack Obama, who deserves to be defeated.” Yet in recent days, Gingrich has gone on the attack against the GOP frontrunner.
Gingrich defended the criticism, saying, “First of all, I think that the staying positive through Iowa, through $3.5 million of negative attacks proved you either have to unilaterally disarm and leave the race or you have to at least bring up your competitor’s record.”
