BuzzFeed reports that in a radio interview Newt Gingrich condemned Donald Trump’s attack on the federal judge overseeing a lawsuit against Trump, saying that the logic behind GOP nominee’s attack “totally goes against our whole model of being an American.” Trump said last week that the judge, an American citizen born in Indiana, was biased because “he’s a Mexican.”
“We don’t judge you as part of a group,” Gingrich said on The John Gibson Show. “That would be to suggest blacks can’t get a fair white judge, whites can’t get a fair black judge. Asians can get a fair judge unless they’re Asian and by the way, Asian means if you’re Chinese, it has to be a Chinese judge because Vietnamese, while they’re Asian, aren’t Chinese. Once you go down that road, you destroy America.”
