That's cause he's still basically a 90s Republican.

... But at least he's not a straight up nazi

I know it's hip to call Biden a 90's R because he didn't pass every policy the left wants with a slim majority, but do you even know what a 90's Republican is / stood for? Because that's when the party turned to Newt and I don't see him doing ANYTHING close to that.

Right. Maybe a 70s Republican, but certainly not 90s.

One of the weird things that sticks out to me from the Gingrich era is a David Letterman top 10 list. Top ten ways to mis-pronounce "Newt Gingrich". One of them was "Neutered Lungfish".

So every time Gingrich gets brought up, that's what goes through my head. "Neutered Lungfish."
