White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has responded to comments made by former Speaker Newt Gingrich to Bob Costa, regarding President Obama’s “Kenyan, anti-colonial worldview.”
Gibbs told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos:
“I don’t even have – quite frankly, George – the slightest idea what he’s talking about. … I think Newt Gingrich knows that he’s trying to appeal to the fringe of people that don’t believe the president was born in this country. You would normally expect better from somebody who held the position of speaker of the House. But, look, it’s political season. And most people’ll say anything. And Newt Gingrich does that … on a regular basis.”
