"When I did a Twitter about her, having read what she said, I said that was racist — but I applied it to her as a person. And the truth is I don’t know her as a person. It’s clear that what she said was racist, and it’s clear — or as somebody wrote recently, “racialist” if you prefer." —Newt Gingrich on Face the Nation today (for some reason unclear to me)
Gingrich is building his entire comeback around this attack, which now includes a completely made up weasel word. I guess it's either this or his fantasy book in which the Confederates win at Gettysburg.
Keep going, Republicans! Huzzah!
UPDATE: Correction. "Racialist" is, in fact, a word.
