Newt Gingrich Warns of ‘Very Dangerous’
Concerns Over Hostility
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich warned that Democratic leaders’ rhetoric toward President Trump risks deepening national division.
In a Fox News interview, he called some statements by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries
“inflammatory” and accused Democrats of encouraging tactics that undermine public trust.
Political Climate and Leadership
Comparing the situation to a constitutional stress test, Gingrich said,
“We’re at a point where the rule of law has to mean something again.”
He criticized House Democrats for being disengaged, noting, “They couldn’t applaud anything,”
and expressed concern that partisanship overshadows problem-solving.
Public Distrust
Citing his polling, Gingrich noted that 82% of Americans see the political system as corrupt.
He framed the Republican agenda as reform-focused,
while accusing Democrats of defending entrenched bureaucracies.
Warnings for the Future
Gingrich urged both parties to enforce laws equally and cautioned that protests targeting officials cross a line.
Looking ahead to 2026, he said public frustration will shape election outcomes.
