AP Fact Check: Gingrich ‘Flubs’ History During GOP Debate
Editor’s Note: The following “fact check” was composed by the Associated Press. The Blaze added the last portion of the article, which includes a fact check on Newt Gingrich’s comments surrounding his support for Barry Goldwater and Nelson Rockefeller. Below, find the inconsistencies the AP claims to have found during last night’s GOP debate, as the outlet contends that Gingrich “flubbed” history:
WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) — Newt Gingrich called rival Mitt Romney a “terrible historian” but flubbed his own history in Congress on Monday night when he claimed the nation ran four consecutive budget surpluses during his time as House speaker. Romney attacked Gingrich’s financial links to Freddie Mac while ignoring his own.
The accusations were fast out of the gate in the latest Republican presidential debate, and reality got tromped in the process.
A look at some of claims and how they compare with the facts:
To read the rest of the article you have to go to the Blaze.
I ask my fellow Republicans to not jump on the Newt bandwagan. Newt is not a Conservative, but a Progressive whose heros are TR, FDR, and Wilson. I base my judgment not based on hearsay but what I have heard in his own words.
The true Conservative is Rick Santorum not Newt. Newt has been caught in lies, which makes him a liar. Rick Santorum and Mit Romney have not lied but have been honest.
