Gingrich: We Need a Government that Respects “Our Religion”

HeadlineJan 31, 2012

On the campaign trail Monday, Newt Gingrich accused Mitt Romney of airing misleading TV ads.

Newt Gingrich: “I’m very excited. I could feel it, over the last three days, that it’s beginning to close again. Just as we had in South Carolina, there was this huge wave of dishonest Romney ads. For a little bit, people backed up and went, 'Wow, boy, if that' — I mean, frankly, if that all stuff was true, I wouldn’t vote for myself.”

Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich accused Romney on Monday of disregarding the religious rights of Americans.

Newt Gingrich: “Now, I think we need to have a government that respects our religions. I’m a little bit tired of being lectured about respecting every other religion on the planet. I’d like them to respect our religion.”
