Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich thinks Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)’s non-endorsement of Donald Trump was a “funny” speech for the well-educated man to give on the stage of the Republican National Convention Wednesday night.
In the speaking order, Gingrich followed Cruz, who ended his address amid loud boos from the audience. Gingrich told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he had read the pre-released text of Cruz’s speech and “thought it was funny.”
Cruz at one point urged the audience to vote “your conscience” for someone who would follow the Constitution.
“Well, In this particular election year, that by definition can’t be Hillary Clinton,” Gingrich said. “In a very strange way for a guy who is a Princeton-Harvard graduate, he backed into, ‘you have to be for Trump’ because by Ted Cruz’s own standard there is no other candidate who fits the criteria Ted Cruz set-up.”
So everyone was surprised by Cruz’s comments when, in fact, he was just reading from his pre-released text (which the Newt “thought was funny”)? It sounds like he was actually a bit of a ringer, to get the crowd fired up. A textbook WWF move.
Boy are they going to be surprised when they discover that, despite the pre-released calendar and the predictability of the days of the week, tomorrow is Thursday.
Not to defend the super-SOB Ted Cruz. But seems like Gingrich’s still resentful that he was only admitted to a fourth rate state college in the middle of Redneckia .
When Newt Gingrich has to explain a joke to you, it wasn’t funny.
“Funny peculiar or Funny Ha-Ha ?”
