The year is 2017 and political hacks like Newt Gingrich have hit the airwaves to attack special counsel Robert Mueller, who has been tasked with investigating the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.
Remember Newt less than a month ago?
It appears that having his wife get a new diplomatic gig out of Trump has made him change his tune. Jake Tapper over at CNN had a little clip of a younger, equally hypocritical Newt attacking then-President Bill Clinton’s White House for the murmurings surrounding Ken Starr’s actual sexual witch hunt.
The fact is, if he wants to fire Ken Starr, he can do it in the morning. If he doesn't want to fire Ken Starr, he can tell his staff to shut up, because there's something -- [ applause ] There is something profoundly demeaning and destructive to have the White House systematically undermine the Department of justice. And when I watch these paid hacks on television, to be quite honest, I am sickened by how unpatriotically they undermine the Constitution of the United States.
Newt must be sick to his hate-filled tummy right about now.
