Newt defends Bachmann on Huma Abedin allegations

[spanone]

Newt Gingrich, appearing with Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen on POLITICO Live's Driving the Day this morning, defended Rep. Michele Bachmann for asking questions about the Muslim Brotherhood - and declined to hit his former presidential rival for raising questions about Hillary Rodham Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

"There weren’t allegations, there was a question," Gingrich told VandeHei and Allen, adding, "the question ought to be asked across the board" about the Muslim Brotherhood's relationship with and goals in the U.S. are.

When it was pointed out to him that other Republicans, such as Sen. John McCain and House Speaker John Boehner, have hit Bachmann for a form of a witch hunt, he said, "I think those folks are wrong...what is it they're afraid of learning?"

1. I'd like a reporter to ask Romney what he thinks and see if he would repudiate her as McCain did.

3. Well that knocks Newt out as Romney's replacement if it goes that far.

People don't like to see overt crazy. This is why Romney got the nomination. Most the other candidates displayed overt craziness. Except for Huntsman(he is probably loony as well) he was the only other candidate that appeared to be sane. You have to be careful as a Republican, you can't appear too sane, but you can't be Bachmann insane either.
