So known-racist Newt Gingrich was interviewed yesterday praising former New York Mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg for saving Black lives while they were in office. How? By instituting the unconstitutional stop-and-frisk tactics of the police as well as other measures that target Blacks. “Let me just remind you, the two people who have done the most to save African-American lives in New York City were Rudy Giuliani and Mike Bloomberg, their [stop and frisk] policing techniques, led by Chief William Bratton who invented them, actually have saved thousands of lives by focusing on crime in a very intelligent way.” And as every Republican does, he ended up blaming the current state of New York police relations with the community on President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder (everything is their fault): I’m saying the President uses a lot of his time using language which is divisive, automatically jumps to conclusions about things he doesn’t know,” Gingrich replied. “I’m saying the attorney general has clearly given speeches which are divisive. And I’m just suggesting to you, this is just a tragic lost opportunity, that you would think that six years in to the first African-American President, there would be a sense in the community of us coming closer together. That hasn’t happened.” My question is, why are people still interviewing Newt Gingrich? Heres one better: How can these people continue to lay the blame on everyone else EXCEPT law enforcement and their racist targeting of African Americans. You have to give it to the Republicans. They are always on the same page about how to distort the narrative.... Smh. newsone/3080254/newt-gingrich-stop-and-frisk/
