Newt Gingrich today addressed the Bain furor that has erupted over ads made by the Super PAC that supports him, Winning Our Future. The ads depict Mitt Romney’s time at the Bain Capital private equity firm in a deeply negative way; a way that some independent watchdogs have found inaccurate.

In a statement sent out by his campaign the candidate called on the group to edit its ads for those inaccuracies or to take them off the air.
