Gingrich To GOP: Hand Biden The Shutdown “Mess”

December 20, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

“When I was speaker, we had two government shutdowns, one was pretty long, I think 20 some days. It convinced President Clinton that we were serious and it convinced the American people that we were going to keep our word even if it was hard.

“I think that everybody misjudged what President Trump won when they bring in a 1,500 page bill that is a joke. That was not a continuing resolution, as you pointed out. You know, this this was actually a brand new omnibus spending bill, and it was a total violation — politics as usual.

“Don’t worry what the candidate says before the election. He’s going to sell you out afterwards. Well, Trump didn’t sell them out. And now we have we’re facing the first great reality of Making America Great Again, which is a Congress filled with people who love pork, love taking money home to the district, love deficit spending, love big bureaucracies, and they’re colliding with the man the American people picked to change things.

“I think that President Trump would be much better off to let the government close to let Biden sit there as a totally incompetent president presiding over a mess, and to go to the country and say to the country, ‘I am not going to be a president who sells you out. I need your help to convince the Congress to pass a good bill.’ I think the country would respond.” – Newt Gingrich, who felt rather differently just last year.
