Newt compares Romney to ‘bully on a playground’

Published



Newt Gingrich argued that Mitt Romney is too wealthy to lie as much as Gingrich claims he did last night in the debate, but explained that he preferred to debunk Romney’s claims online rather than in person.

Gingrich said that he didn’t want to “brawl” with Romney. “If the other guy attacks you,” Gingrich told Fox and Friends that his grandchildren told him before the debate, “just sort of smile pleasantly. [My grandson] and I talked about it: ‘what do you do when there’s a bully on the playground?’ He says, ‘look you got to smile, [you got to be] straightforward and don’t let them intimidate you.'”
