Newt Gingrich Calls Dems ‘Hypocrites’ Amid House Probe Into Results of Iowa Race

Former Speaker of the House 👤Newt Gingrich is calling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democrats “hypocrites” for opening an investigation into the results of Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District election.

Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks won the race by just six votes.

“In an ironic show of Democratic hypocrisy, her opponent, Rita Hart – with the help of Speaker 👤Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. – is objecting to the election results,” Gingrich wrote in an op-ed published by Fox News on Monday.

He added, “Hart realized her challenge was more likely to be favorably entertained by Pelosi than by any court, so she bypassed Iowa’s court system and took her objection directly to the U.S. Congress.”

Gingrich argued Pelosi and House Democrats should “leave this to Iowa’s courts and election officials.” He noted every Democrat on the House Committee on Administration voted to bring the case to Congress. The move had no Republican support.

“They are not helping Hart to uphold Iowa’s state election laws or the U.S. Constitution. They are upholding party selfishness and their agenda,” he wrote.
