Note to all: Newt Gingrich really doesn’t think much of a 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential run.
In an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt Tuesday night, the former Speaker slammed the former First Lady, telling the host that Hillary is “boring” and compared her to Kim Kardashian.
“What is Hillary’s greatest weakness, Mr. Speaker?” Hewitt asked Gingrich.
“Boring. She’s just, you know, she’s a celebrity like Kim Kardashian,” Gingrich said.
“But I mean, tell me what she’s done, and tell me what she stands for,” Gingrich told the radio host. “I mean, she currently stands for the idea that it’s time for her to be president because she’s been standing around waiting for the time for her to be president.”
“So she’d like to be president, because after all, I mean, she and Bill think it would be good to be president, and why don’t we make her president,” the former Speaker said. “Well, that’s not a ticket.”
“I mean, I have no idea is she going to be different than Obama, or if she’s going to be Obama’s third term. If she’s going to be different than Obama, can she take the heat of disagreeing with the incumbent Democratic president?” Gingrich asked Hewitt. “And if she’s going to be his third term, do you really think the country’s going to vote for four more years of this mess?”
“I just think her candidacy has some big internal contradictions,” the former presidential candidate added.
