“Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?”
— Robert de Niro, joking with the crowd at a fundraiser he hosted in New York on Monday night. “No!” one person yelled back. First lady Michelle Obama made an appearance later at the event, which ran attendees $2,000 a ticket. Newt Gingrich was not amused by the remark and has demanded that President Obama apologize on the actor’s behalf.
