Newt Gingrich goes berserk when Fox News Megyn Kelly referred to Trump as a sexual predator (VIDEO)

[egbertowillies]

In an explosive interview, Newt Gingrich became completely unhinged, verbally attacking Fox News' Megyn Kelly for referring to Trump as a sexual predator. Throughout the interview, Newt Gingrich seemed to live in an alternate state of reality. He continued to discount polls that show Trump losing badly. He refused to acknowledge that all the tossup states are moving towards Clinton.

The interview was already contentious when a couple of words from Megyn Kelly turned it explosive.

"You want to know why Trump has had a rough time?" Newt Gingrich asked.

"If Trump is a sexual predator," Megyn Kelly said. "That is ..."

"He is not a sexual predator," Newt Gingrich shouted.

"That's your opinion," Kelly said. "I am not taking a position on it."

"You could not defend that statement," an unhinged Gingrich shouted. "Now I am sick and tired of people like you, using language that's inflammatory that's not true."

"Excuse me Mr. Speaker," Kelly interjected. "You have no idea whether it is true or not. What we know is that at least ..."

"Neither do you," Gingrich shouted.

"That's right," Kelly replied. "And I am not taking a position on it unlike you. So what I said is incorrect?"

"Yes you are," Gingrich replied. "When you use the words you took a position. And that is very unfair of you Megyn. I think that is exactly the bias people are upset by."

"I think that your defensiveness on this may speak volumes, sir," Kelly replied. "What I said is if -- no, no, no, -- let me make my point and then I will give you the floor. What I said is if Trump is a sexual predator, then it is a big story. And what we saw on that tape was Trump himself saying that he likes to grab women by the genitals and kiss them against their will. That's what we saw. Then we saw ten women come forward after he denied actually doing it at the debate to say that was untrue. 'He did it to me. He did it to me.' We saw reporters. We saw people who had worked with him; people from Apprentice and so on and so forth. He denies it all which is his right. We don't know what the truth is. My point to you is, as a media story we don't get to say the ten women are lying. We have to cover that story, sir."

Gingrich then went into full spin mode. He attempted to characterize the media as biased for covering more about the growing Trump sexual predator scandal than Clinton speeches to banks, a false equivalency. He then unleashed his anger and abuse again.

"You want to go back to the tapes of your show recently?" Gingrich shouted. "You are fascinated with sex. And you don't care about public policy. That's what I get out of watching you tonight."

"You know Mr. Speaker," Megyn Kelly said. "I am not fascinated by sex. But I am fascinated by the protection of women and understanding what we are getting in the Oval Office. And I think the American voters would like to know."

2. If this election doesn't open the eyes of women, nothing will.

They're not even pretending to like women any longer.

4. Here is all you need to know about Gingrich

The truth about Newt and his cancer-stricken wife
How Newt Gingrich's bedside visit with his hospitalized first wife has haunted him for three decades
JUSTIN ELLIOTT TUESDAY, MAR 8, 2011 09:01 AM CST

For almost three decades, Newt Gingrich has been dogged by a single devastating anecdote from his past, one that has been repeated in the national press hundreds of times and that has arguably come to define his political persona. After being elected to Congress in 1978 on a family values platform, the story goes, he visited his wife Jackie, who was in the hospital recovering from an operation for uterine cancer, and demanded that she discuss terms of their divorce.

34. Yes these "holy" people (PUKE)

want to force their twisted religion on everyone in this country by force of law.

5. I have gained a ton of newfound respect for Megan Kelly. Not just a vacuous spokesmodel.

[trusty elf]

14. I have to agree, grudgingly.

8. Gingrich shouted. "You are fascinated with sex..." WOW, did he ever step in it.

This is like Watergate, they missteps just keep happening. Keep digging your own graves.

Why is Newt so sensitive on the sexual predator topic?

[lovemydog]

9. Here's the full interview.

The obnoxious Gingrich has to be seen to be believed. What a jerk!

[OnDoutside]

15. I enjoyed that ☺. There's no love lost there !

[ffr]

10. Didn't Newt Gingrich serve divorce papers to a wife who was in the hospital.

What a leech that man is!!! F.U. Newt. You're a turd like all those you defend.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. No

Gingrich is a slimy guy with affairs on his record and yes he is a "turd". But the Democratic Party is the fact-based party and facts count.

1) You don't "serve" divorce papers.

2) The divorce was already a family topic of discussion months before she went into hospital.

3) He wanted to discuss terms of the divorce.

4) Even so, he is not proud of what he did and won't discuss it.

[anamandujano]

24. Newt calls Bill a sexual predator but his own definition of sex is the same as Bill's i.e.,

oral sex is not sex. I believe they are both on record so that qualifies as a fact.

Bill's not proud of what he did either but Newt wants to keep discussing it. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

[anneboleyn]

30. Yes, divorce papers are served (a quick Google search will confirm this) unless there is another

legally acceptable method devised (a spouse can ask for acknowledgment of receipt of the papers to avoid having the other spouse formally served).

[LanternWaste]

36. What specifically leads you to allege your fourth point (remember-- only facts count, as you said)?

"he is not proud of what he did..."

37. Washington Post and New York Times

Aspects of Gingrich divorce story distorted

{...}

Over the years, Gingrich himself has declined to comment on the story’s details, usually relying on some variation of the comment he made to the New York Times this year: “There are things in my life I’m not proud of, and there are things in my life I’m very proud of.” He has acknowledged having extramarital affairs in the past, however.

CNN conservative slams the GOP for letting Trump’s misogyny run wild: ‘They need female supervision’

[brer cat]

16. Newt is exhibit A

for the entitled rich white male, and a world-class hypocrite. It will be a blessed day when that smug face is off the national stage.

[eShirl]

17. Top 1990's Clinton Crotch Inspector accuses reporter of being fascinated with sex!

You can't make this SHIT up.

[MyOwnPeace]

21. 100%

what YOU said!

"Clinton Crotch Inspector"

NAILED IT!!!!

[ffr]

31. That's lost in all of his anger, a carryover from losing to Bill in the 90's

He still can't let it go. And it is absolutely true, he was the tip of the spear in enabling Ken Starr's $68M circus act out.

Newt knows no shame.

[Madam45for2923]

18. Hmmmm Gingrich does not like to be put on the spot!

Kelly did a magnificent job there!

[Mr. Ected]

19. Gingrich is the architect of the current GOP obstructionist movement

He is to be reviled and detested. He, more than anyone else in modern American history, has stood in the path of progress and democracy. He is a shit stain on the Constitution.

[Zorro]

25. Absolutely spot on

He's a second rate former professor who's directly responsible for the dysfunction in government today.

He is a disgrace to humanity.

[randome]

20. The world has passed by these old, white, racist sexists, and they know it.

Trump is actually doing us a service by leading them all off a cliff.

26. I actually saw this late last night. I wanted to post it here but y'all beat me to it!!

My mouth was hanging open when Newt started shouting and losing his composure with Megyn Kelly. She knows how to get to these sad, insecure republican men (it has also been heavily implied that her testimony featured in a big way in the Roger Ailes sexual harassment lawsuit)...seriously her first question to Trump at the very first primary debate has dogged Trump ever since. The Trumpers STILL harass her at every opportunity. Their hatred for Kelly is rivaled only by their hatred for Hillary.

Newt looks like an old buffoon, pointing at Kelly and telling HER she is obsessed with sex. The guy with three marriages who asked his second wife who was ill with cancer if they could have an open marriage...yeah, what a family values hero, just like his orange master. Megyn is still a Fox "journalist" but her willingness to go after Trump and to get Gingrich like this is beautiful.

[anneboleyn]

27. Gingrich - the guy who says that Rorschachs are all "dirty pictures"

As the old joke goes, a guy visits a psychiatrist, and the psychiatrist shows him a series of Rorschachs. The guy says the first image looks like people having sex, the second image also, the third, the fourth, the fifth, etc. The psychiatrist comments that the man seems to be obsessed with sex. The guys exclaims, "You're the one with the dirty pictures!" Newt in a nutshell.

[C_U_L8R]

28. I'm no Kelly fan... but

the rightwing hate mob frothing on Twitter for her ouster
is yet more evidence of how vile these people are.
Defeat them. GOTV !!

[blue neen]

33. Hmm. Sounds like Newtie has a guilty conscience.

He has his own history of being "fascinated by sex", including cheating on wife number 1 and wife number 2.

People on guilt trips can get mighty defensive.

[rbrnmw]

38. A true Trump deplorable of the nth degree
