Speaking to The Washington Post on Friday, Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich criticized President Obama and Americans generally for not being truly concerned about human rights. “Obama is so concerned about human rights in Syria that in the evenings he watches TV and he thinks badly,” he said. “This is nuts. This is insanity,” Gingrich added. “If you wanted to minimize the number of people killed in Syria, you would’ve supported (Syrian President Bashar al) Assad, because the truth is if Assad had won very quickly fewer people would’ve died.”
