Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich insulted a Capitol Hill reporter after the journalist asked him to comment on the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“What do you think about the January 6 committee,” Scott Wong, a reporter for NBC News who previously worked at The Hill, asked Gingrich during a press scrum at the Capitol on Thursday.

“You have no thoughts about the committee itself,” the reporter pressed Gingrich, who is helping House Republicans craft and promote messaging ahead of coming elections.

“I think you have a learning disability,” Gingrich said, turning to Wong, who reacted by saying “excuse me?”

Nothing but a feces flinging monkey. Gingrich is touted as one of the GOP's best and brightest.

5. My late father had a good friend @ West Georgia and Newt was hated there and fired @ the ...

... 1st chance they got. He was hired to teach history but that department couldn't stand him and
he was dumped off on the geography dept. and he had to stay on because he had a contract but the
minute it was up his ass was gone.

BTW he was thrown out of congress too and many of the house republicans were on board w/that
move too.

"And you were forced out of your cushy government job for misusing funds. Oh, and for being an asshole. Nobody could stand you."
