So then Gingrich supports Michelle Bachmann's witch hunt?

Newt Gingrich came to Michele Bachmann’s defense during an event at Politico Tuesday morning, insisting that she and the four Congresspeople who have been criticized by other Republicans for implying that a senior aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, are raising legitimate concerns about the groups’ efforts to infiltrate the American government.

“There weren’t allegations, there was a question,” Gingrich insisted. “The question ought to be asked across the board, what’s the role of the Muslim Brotherhood, what are its various networks and to what degree does it now influence the United States?” Gingrich claimed that senior members of his own party — including Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI), House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-MI) — have bought into an “elite” culture of “political correctness” that prevents any discussion about radical Islam:

Simple questions Dems must ask -
Is Willard Rmoney still writing off Gingrich's primary debt?

Why has Willard Rmoney not condemned Bachmann and Gingrich?

When will ReTHUGs in the House of Representatives censure this lunatic?

Bachmann made allegations. She didn't just ask if there might be a possibility that the Muslim Brotherhood was infiltrating our government (the answer is "No.&quot

this isn't political correctness; it's paranoia.
