Gingrich affirms
election being stolen – by media, Calls it a 'coup,' says Trump would be winning by 15 points
without 1-sided press, 10/16/16, WND
WASHINGTON – Former
House Speaker affirmed Donald Trump’s claims that the presidential election is
being stolen by a one-sided media almost universally working shamelessly for
his opponent, ignoring substantive Hillary Clinton scandals while hyping
unsubstantiated charges against Trump.
“I think that without
the unending one-sided assault of the news media, Trump would be beating
Hillary by 15 points,” he told Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week.” “I think
when you look at WikiLeaks and you look at all the things she has said, when
you look at the deals in Russia that Bill Clinton made, and that the Clinton
Foundation – I mean, all this nonsense by [Democratic vice presidential
candidate Tim] Kaine about Russia, it’s Clinton, Bill Clinton, who got a half a
million dollar speech. It is the Clintons who got money for the Clinton Foundation
from Russia. It is – it is [Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John] Podesta
who was on a Russian company advisory board that was apparently funded by
[Vladimir] Putin.
Gingrich said he
thinks it’s amazing Trump is as close in the polls as he is right now given the
media barrage and its failure to cover Clinton in any meaningful way. “And the
best description of it is by Barry Castleman in his blog where he said this is
a coup d’etat,” Gingrich added. “Fourteen million citizens and private ballots picked
Donald Trump, 20 TV executives have decided to destroy him.”
Gingrich added that he
sees potential fraud at the precinct level, too, and agrees with Trump’s plans
for poll monitoring.
“You look at
Philadelphia, you look at St. Louis, you look at Chicago, I mean, again I’m old
enough, I remember when Richard Nixon had the election stolen in 1960 and no
serious historian doubts that Illinois and Texas were stolen,” he said. “So to
suggest that we have – that you don’t have theft in Philadelphia is to deny
reality.”
Gingrich conceded
Trump is hurting himself sometimes by spending too much time defending himself
against reckless charges.
“But here’s my point,
and I’ve said this publicly, there’s a Big Trump and there’s a Little Trump.
The Big Trump is a historic figure,” he said. “The Big Trump beat 16 other
people for the nomination. The Big Trump is creating issues that make the
establishment very uncomfortable. The Little Trump frankly gets out – is
stupid. I mean, that comment just then is dumb. And I don’t defend him when he
wanders off; I’ve told him over and over. You know, presidents have to be
disciplined, and in that sense Hillary is probably better trained to be
president, just because she’s the most corrupt person to ever get the
nomination of a major party.”
In the last weeks of
the campaign, Gingrich urges Trump to focus on the corruption in Washington. “I
think in a disciplined way, using text that have thought through, he should
outline the scale of corruption that permeates this city and make very clear to
the American people they have two choices: they can continue the corruption
with the most corrupt candidate in history, and that’s Hillary Clinton, or they
can vote to clean up the city, which by the way will lead to the kind of problems
Scott Walker had in Madison,” he said. “You try to clean up Washington, you’re
going to have huge forces starting with the unions trying to stop you, which is
what happened to Walker. He had death threats … I think – well, first of all, I
think it will attract a lot of Democrats when they look at the scale of the
corruption, will decide it’s intolerable.”
He advised Trump to
“be calm and firm and pleasant, and just continue to say the things he
believes.”
