On Fox and Friends Thursday, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani criticized Newt Gingrich’s recent attacks on Mitt Romney as a “corporate raider” at Bain Capital. Giuliani said, via Human Events:

What the hell are you doing, Newt? I expect this from Saul Alinsky! This is what Saul Alinsky taught Barack Obama, and what you’re saying is part of the reason we’re in so much trouble right now…It’s ignorant and dumb. It’s building something we should be fighting in America, ignorance of the economic system, playing on the dumbest, most ridiculous ideas about how you grow jobs.

A month ago, Giuliani had kinder words for Newt: “My gut tells me right now as I look at it that Gingrich might actually be the stronger candidate,” Giuliani said on CNN in December, “because I think he can make a broader connection than Mitt Romney to those Reagan Democrats.”
