While a number of high profile Republicans are distancing themselves from Donald Trump, Newt Gingrich warns against doing so.
Many Republicans are finding themselves in a quandary following the release of a video in which Donald Trump makes inappropriate remarks about women.
While a number of high profile party members are distancing themselves from the GOP candidate, Newt Gingrich warns against doing so.
In a Facebook Live address, Gingrich says, “My only advice to Republican leaders is simple. In the end, you either help defeat Hillary Clinton or you help elect Hillary Clinton.”
He continues, “I think to sit on your hands, to find some pretense because Donald Trump is not pure enough, so you’re willing to have Hillary Clinton get elected, is an enormous disservice to the future of the country and to the future of our children and grandchildren.”
Gingrich also notes, “You don’t have to run around and defend Donald Trump. That’s his job. You also don’t have to abandon him. There is no alternative at a practical level. He is the nominee.”
