Noting for the record that the Republican deep thinker Newt Gingrich is getting comfortable with his embrace of fascism.

'Newt Gingrich Says Jan. 6 Committee Members "Face a Real Risk of Jail" if Republicans Win the House'
Appearing on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Gingrich expanded on an op-ed he wrote for Newsweek earlier this week titled “The Wolves Will Become Sheep,” in which he argued that January 6 committee members will have the tables turned on them if the GOP should gain control of Congress.

“You have — both with Attorney General [Merrick] Garland and with this select committee on January 6, people who have run amok,” Gingrich argued. He added, “What they need to understand is on January 4 next year, you’re going to have a Republican majority in the House and a Republican majority in the Senate. And all these people who have been so tough, and so mean, and so nasty are going to be delivered subpoenas for every document, every conversation, every tweet, every e-mail.”

Gingrich went on to blast Garland and the Jan. 6 committee as a “lynch mob.” He warned that Republicans may look to imprison their political opponents next January — arguing that their inquiry is breaking the law by “running over peoples’ civil liberties.”

“I think when you have a Republican Congress, this is all going to come crashing down,” Gingrich said. “And the wolves are going to find out that they’re now sheep and they’re the ones who are in fact, I think, face a real risk of jail for the kinds of laws they’re breaking.”
He never did get around to mentioning which laws the Democratic legislators (plus a couple of horribly traitorous Republicans) are breaking. Doesn't matter: LOCK THEM UP!!!

I guess subpoenaing Republicans is a crime now.

Every time Gingrich pops up with crap like this, I say the same thing.

He's still alive??? :shock: :o

I wonder how Newt's narrative really sits in the country? Perhaps sometimes we place too much of a premium on the opinions of the notorious - or maybe they just drive clicks.

Garrett Soldano, a GOP candidate for governor in Michigan, says we must inspire women who have been raped to understand how heroic they are in giving birth and see that "God put them in this moment."

They don't know "that baby inside them may be the next president."
