Newt Gingrich Responds to Ann Coulter Calling Him ‘Shyster,’ Enemy of the GOP
Theres civil war a-brewin in the Republican party, and one of the most vocal conservatives calling for change is Ann Coulter. In her new book and on Sean Hannitys show this week, Coulter name-dropped a few Republicans who she considers poisonous for the party, including Newt Gingrich, and Gingrich responded on Larry Kings show.
When Coulter was on Hannity, she railed against hucksters, shysters in the Republican party using the GOP for their own self-aggrandizement, specifically calling out Gingrich, Todd Akin, Liz Cheney, and Mark Sanford.
Larry King brought up Coulters fighting words and asked Gingrich to respond. Gingrich found it odd that Coulter would go after him, of all people.
Thats kind of weird. I helped lead us to the first Republican majority in the House in 40 years, I helped develop with Bill Clinton the first fourthe only fourbalanced budgets in her lifetime, we helped pass welfare reform. I wouldve thought all those would have counted against the number of books shes sold. But, you know, people have got to go out and say something to sell books and shes found her schtick, its attacking conservatives and sort of being the odd person out.
