Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich described the Jan. 6 House Select Committee’s series of public hearings as a “Stalinist show trial” that won’t have “any impact” ahead of the midterm elections.
Former President Trump has said that he would have liked to see House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy appoint a second set of Republicans to the committee after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected two of his choices. McCarthy eventually pulled all of his picks off the committee.
“Unfortunately, a bad decision was made,” Trump said in June . “This committee was a bad decision, not to have representation on that committee. That was a very, very foolish decision because, you know, they try and pretend like they’re legit, and only when you get into the inner workings you say, ‘What kind of a thing is this? It’s just a one-sided witch hunt.'”
Gingrich was asked if he agreed with Trump’s view on McCarthy withdrawing his GOP choices for the committee.
“I’m not getting into that,” he replied during an interview at the America First Policy Institute’s America First Agenda Summit on Tuesday.
Gingrich was asked if he thinks the Republican Party is losing the narrative as a result of the committee’s public hearings. “No, I think the committee is a joke,” he said. “I think it is essentially a Stalinist show trial. And I think it’s net effect in the long run is zero.”
Gingrich told Just the News that he does not think House Republicans need to form a separate Jan. 6 committee to call their own witnesses.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
