"SNIP.......

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) slammed GOP lawmakers who said they plan to oppose Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in his bid for Speaker, calling the conservatives holding out against McCarthy “kamikazes” trying to “sink the whole Republican Party,” The Hill reports.

Said Gingrich: “These guys can’t count straight. They can’t play tic-tac-toe. They can’t accept victory. To undermine him is to undermine conservatism, undermine the Republican Party and, frankly, undermine the country.”

........SNIP"

will fall in line tomorrow….behind someone. McCarthy or Scalise. They always do. I’d love to see a shit show over this…they can’t seat the new congress until they’ve got a speaker. It would be great if they made this as painful as possible on themselves.

These guys don't give a shit about conservative "ideals", their agenda is to destroy the Republic and install a right-wing fascist dictatorship in its place.
And, you know what Newt? They owe it all to A-holes like you that set the stage for them.
Newt thinks that since he helped create the Frankenstein monster, it will do what he tells it to.
Get off the stage Newt, you've already done more than enough damage to the Republic.
