Newt Gingrich on Thursday called Hillary Clintons attack on Donald Trump for mocking former Miss Universe Alicia Machados weight as false as Benghazi and the new Benghazi lie.
In an interview on Sean Hannitys radio show on Thursday, the former house speaker and current Trump adviser said, I think as fascinating to look at how the elite media bought this is the new Benghazi lie what Hillary tried to set up, and what they spend apparently months preparing was an ambush that was as false as Benghazi. It was as false as her claim she was under fire in Bosnia. It was as false as the lies she told about her emails.
The elite media, which is Clinton, they totally identify with her, they took it hook, line, and sinker, Gingrich continued. For three or four days they have run with it, and now, as happened in Ferguson, as happened in Benghazi, as happened in Bosnia, its all starting to fall apart because its based on a series of falsehoods.
Gingrich said Trumps 1997 comments about Machado, in which Trump said she was an eating machine, plumply, and she ate a lot of everything, were Trump trying to make Miss Universe work as a business and him actually being very positive.

The part this story doesn't cover was Newt saying that Hillary realized that she hadn't gotten this packaged bit into the debate so she threw it in at the last moment. Newt wants the listeners to believe that Hillary didn't have this sledgehammer in her back pocket and waited until Trump was out of gas before smashing him with it. Trump was so flummoxed that he was begging her "Where did you find this? Where did you find this?!"
Welcome to the big leagues Donnie.

(12,448 posts)First, Trump himself not only admitted he'd shamed Machado in the debate, he's been doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down ever since.
Second, this is Newt Gingrich talking. Enough said.
