Newt Gingrich Confusion: “I Supported Goldwater,” Previously Said “I Supported Rockefeller Over Goldwater”

Newt Gingrich was tripped up on his own bullsh*t during the Florida presidential debate aired on NBC Monday night. He said he “supported Goldwater” but also said some time ago that he “supported Rockefeller over Goldwater.” Which is it Newt?

Roll Call: “I went to a Goldwater organizing session in 1964. I met with Ronald Reagan for the first time in 1974. I worked with Jack Kemp, and Art Laffer and others to develop supply side economics in the late ’70s. I helped Governor Reagan become President Reagan. I helped pass the Reagan economic program and worked with the National Security Council on issues including the collapse of the Soviet Empire,” Newt Gingrich said at tonight’s debate.

Watch the video below and hear Newt Gingrich saying he supported Rockefeller over Goldwater. To echo lyrics of a Roots song made famous on Jimmy Fallon during Michele Bachmann’s entrance, Newt Gingrich is a “lying ass b*tch.”

    Janet:

    Barry Goldwater was the eventual Republican nominee in 1964, having defeated Rockefeller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater_presidential_campaign,_1964)

    John Lewis supported Hillary Clinton for President and then switched his support to Barack Obama.  Would you call Lewis what you called Gingrich?

    It should be noted that Malcolm X supported Goldwater over Johnson because he preferred the “straight up honesty” of Goldwater about his “stance on the Negro” (I don’t plan to offer government help for you but I am not going to lynch you either) over Johnson and the Progressive-Democrats who he saw as the treat to the Black development as they strung us along).

    You are trying to hard Janet.
