Muslims Western civilization is in a war. We should, frankly, test every person from here who is of a Muslim background and, if they believe in sharia, they should be deported. Sharia is incompatible with western civilization. Newt Gingrich © 2016 Kwiple.com

Republican Party One of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, and loyal, and faithful, and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around the campfire but are lousy in politics. Newt Gingrich, June 14, 1978, who set out to change all that © 2018 Kwiple.com
Snapshot Gingrich's career can perhaps be best understood as a grand exercise in devolution – an effort to strip American politics of the civilizing traits it had developed over time and return it to its most primal essence. Newt Gingrich portrayed by McKay Coppins © 2020 Kwiple.com
Snapshot [He] transformed American politics from one in which people presume the good will of their opponents, even as they disagreed, into one in which people treated the people with whom they disagreed as bad and immoral.

Trumpists say  Navalnys death in prison is a brutal reminder that jailing your political opponents is inhumane and a violation of every principle of a free society. Watch the Biden Administration speak out against Putin and his jailing of his leading political opponent while Democrats in four different jurisdictions try to turn  President Trump into an American Navalny. The hypocrisy and corruption of the left is astonishing.
