Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich clearly shocked his CBS interviewers this morning. Asked whether his recent anti-Romney remarks amount to him calling the former Massachusetts governor a liar, Gingrich bluntly replied, “Yes.”

He then went on to explain to his stunned interlocutors that even though he was saying Romney would probably continue to lie to the American people were he to make it to the Oval Office, he’d still support Romney over Obama should the current frontrunner clinch the GOP nomination.

You can watch the whole exchange below. The relevant part begins around 3:00.
