Newt Gingrich puts House leadership on notice: You are either with us or against us

By BRENT GRIFFITHS 10/10/16 01:47 PM EDT

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich never mentioned the man who now holds the speaker gavel by name.

But in a Facebook Live video on Monday, Gingrich made it clear that Republicans who flee from their nominee or outright revoke their endorsements will be judged harshly by history.

"My only advice to Republicans leaders is simple, in the end you either help defeat Hillary Clinton or you help elect Hillary Clinton," Gingrich told an online audience that approached 5,000 people. "If she gets elected, she will be a nightmare, this will be the most corrupt and dishonest administration in American history, and you will find her even harder to work with work with than Obama, because she will simply smother you."

Gingrich, who at one time was also under consideration to be Trump's running mate, chastised those in his own party who find Trump does not represent their values. Many Republicans have abandoned Trump after a 2005 video where the nominee described sexually aggressive advances towards women. Gingrich found the video “disgusting,” but said that pales in comparison to what Clinton has done.

“I think to sit on your hands, to find some pretense because Donald Trump is not pure enough, so you're willing to have Hillary Clinton get elected is an enormous disservice to the future of the country and to the future of our children and grandchildren," Gingrich said.

House Republicans answer:  This is why we ran you off in the late 90s.

So that's how 'negotiating' will be handled in a Trump regime.

There is a reason we think Trump will become a bigger dictatorial danger than Hildabeast.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Anybody who wants to stand with this bunch should give it a second thought. 

Outside RNC headquarters, Trump supporters hold signs including one which says, "Better to grab a p***y than be one."

It's total abandonment of decency in an attempt to "win."

Oh, Newton... what you don't realize is that technically, we don't need your candidate to defeat Hillary Clinton.
