Newt Gingrich writes for the Washington Examiner: I have no interest in legitimizing the father of a son who Chinese Communist Party members boast about buying. Nor do I have any interest in pretending that the current result is legitimate or honorable. It is simply the final stroke of a four-year establishment-media power grab. It has been perpetrated by people …

USA Today reports: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich drew social media backlash Sunday after posting a tweet that criticized Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger for facilitating absentee voting.

Politico reports: The California activist movement to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom just got a national shot in the arm from former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Arkansas Gov.

“This election is going to come down to turnout. The objective fact is I believe Trump probably did actually carry Georgia. I believe that the election process is a mess.

“First, you go out and the Democrats steal five or six states, and that’s what Republicans believe we’re watching.

“Philadelphia is the center of vote theft and the governor did all he could to maximize the opportunity to steal votes in Pennsylvania. “So I think what you’re going to see is when you sit around and you watch, you know, all evening long six states in which Trump is ahead, you’re asked to believe none of that counts. “And …

Because it’s all so unfair to Glorious Leader: The time has come to recognize how arrogant, biased, and obsolete the Commission on Presidential Debates has become.

Its moderators all represent the Washington Establishment – and the norm is hostility to Republican candidates. The commission has no right …

Newt Gingrich writes for Fox News: Every time some supposed conservative or Republican explains why he or she can’t vote for President Trump, I wonder if they have thought about the alternative – the Biden-Schumer-Pelosi machine. Our choice in November will not be between President Trump and President Perfection. It will be between President Trump and a nightmare that would …

Hypocrisy is their hallmark. Also cruelty.

“Here’s a guy who dedicated his entire life to defending his country, who represented one of the most elite units we have.

“This is the exact opposite of unconstitutional. The Constitution specifically says that impeachment is left to Congress with very little statement as to how they want to conduct it. And in fact, I think I remember that Newt Gingrich did an impeachment effort, led an impeachment effort against Bill Clinton in 1998. Was that an effort to overturn an election? …

“I watched the first night. It was amazing the level of anger that you got out of Bernie Sanders and Senator [Elizabeth] Warren.
