Newt Gingrich made a curious claim on radio host Mike Gallagher’s Thursday program. The former House speaker reiterated his contention that Donald Trump’s recent comments about federal judge Gonzalo Curiel’s Mexican heritage were “totally, utterly unacceptable.” Then Gingrich added, “I am glad Trump has disowned it. I am glad he’s moved on. I’m certainly moving on, and I’m totally for Trump as compared to Hillary Clinton.” Listen to the audio, captured by BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski.

The problem with this is Trump hasn’t “disowned” his comments at all. Gingrich is presumably referring to Trump’s prepared statement, released Tuesday, that claimed his comments about Curiel, who is presiding over the Trump University fraud case, were “misconstrued.”
