After releasing a video Monday that clarified the comments he made on Sunday's Meet The Press, Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich appeared on Fox News yesterday to further discuss and clarify his statements on Sunday's Meet The Press.
Gingrich told host Greta van Susteren, "Imagine you see a 20 second clip from 18 years ago when you were fighting Hillarycare, and when virtually everybody in the conservative movement was united in trying to stop Hillarycare. Now, nobody at that time was talking about the tenth amendment, nobody at that time was talking about these kinds of Constitutional issues, but to jump from that and say, ‘Gosh, if Newt said this in 1993, he must be for Obama,’ skipping, by the way, two and a half years or active, consistent opposition to Obamacare. I think the kind of amnesia that Washington gets in to is, frankly, silly."
