So after President Obama nominated Sotomayor, Newt decided to go all “SHE’S RACIST!” People didn’t particularly care for that. After some heat…
Writing in the conservative “Human Events,” he said, “The word ‘racist’ should not have been applied to Judge Sotomayor as a person, even if her words themselves are unacceptable (a fact which both President Obama and his Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, have since admitted).”
“My initial reaction was strong and direct — perhaps too strong and too direct. The sentiment struck me as racist and I said so. Since then, some who want to have an open and honest consideration of Judge Sotomayor’s fitness to serve on the nation’s highest court have been critical of my word choice. With these critics who want to have an honest conversation, I agree,” Gingrich added.
Sounds like someone got bitched. This isn’t the reaction of a reasonable man who realized his comments were stupid. This sounds like someone who didn’t know about the whoopass that was going to be opened up on him.
