thoughts on some of Trump's fellow Republicans who have been less than deferential following the indictment, including former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who called for Trump to bow out of the presidential sweeps after he himself joined the field.
Gingrich agreed, adding that it is heartening to see frequent Trump foils like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, criticize the indictment."The choice is very simple. You have an entire corrupt system prepared to destroy one person to rewrite the law in the way Lavrentiy Beria once told Stalin: 'Show me the man, I'll find you the crime,'" he said, then criticizing Hutchinson's position.
If Trump remained a retired mogul in Florida, Gingrich said, he never would have been pursued by New York County DA Alvin Bragg or any other left-winger. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
