Gingrich Rages At “Suicidally Stupid” Johnson Holdouts

January 3, 2025 Infighting Is Funny, Republicans

“I think for them to undermine this on the opening day is almost suicidally stupid. And I can’t explain it except that over the years and Karl watched all this and lived with it in the Bush White House over the years has been a group in the party who have grown more and more hostile, more and more self-righteous. Dave Winston just wrote a great piece today about the history.

‘I lasted four years, and even though we balanced the budget, reformed welfare, cut taxes, by the end of it, there was a hardcore group of 18. They were just tired. John Boehner won a huge majority, bigger than I did. And after a while they got tired. Paul Ryan got so disgusted, he left.

“You know, the guy who actually created the current majority, Kevin McCarthy, was in a constant running war with about 8 or 10 members. And this small group has congealed into a very hostile, very destructive group. Fine, if you’re the opposition party, but astonishingly stupid if you’re the governing party.” – Newt Gingrich, just now on Fox News.
