MSNBC host Rachel Maddow dubbed Drudge Report “the Republican Party’s home page,” and thus the internet-equivalent of television’s Fox News Channel, as a means of arguing that the Republican establishment opposes Newt Gingrich while foolishly supporting Mitt Romney.
“Drudge is essentially the Republican home page,” Maddow said, showing a screen-grab of today’s Drudge Report while discussing Drudge’s series of negative stories about Gingrich, such as the CNN story that Gingrich admitted he made a false statement whie rebuking John King in the debate earlier this week. “Again, this is basically the Republican Party’s homepage,” Maddow emphasized.
Maddow argued that, even though she thinks Gingrich is “wacky,” the Republican candidate has some compelling attacks on Romney that should cause “establishment” Republicans to hesitate before supporting Romney.
