Gingrich Says Hillary is 'Nasty,' 'Ruthless'
After months of playing nice about Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich took off the gloves and called Clinton "a nasty woman” with a "ruthless” campaign machine.
The remarks came in an interview with the New York Post’s editorial board on Wednesday.
Asked if Americans are ready to elect former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a leader whom, the questioner noted, former Mayor Ed Koch had called a "nasty man,” Gingrich replied: "As opposed to a nasty woman?”
Gingrich, who said he hasn’t yet decided whether to seek the White House in 2008, also stated:
”Nobody will out-mud the Clintons. You can’t beat them tactically ... They’re too relentless, they’re too well organized, they have too big a machine and they’ll just grind you down.”
He said Clinton’s political team was "talented” but "endlessly ruthless.”
Gingrich told the Post that Republicans need to nominate a Ronald Reagan-type candidate, adding, "A normative Republican running like a traditional Republican, which means a non-Reagan Republican, and trying to beat Hillary by being negative is hopeless.”
