Former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich suggested Wednesday that donald trump communicates better than ron desantis – but it did not turn out to be a compliment for many. (Look the following video).
“One of the great things about Trump is that he speaks at a level where third-, fourth-, and fifth-graders can say, ‘Oh yeah, I get it. I get it,’” Gingrich told the host. Laura Ingraham about his foxnews show.
The comment drew derision from critics online. “The fact that (Trump) is talking to kids says everything you need to know about the level of education the right is aiming for,” a person on twitter wrote. “I don’t see where that’s good for someone running a country. SMH,” another commented.
Gingrich was assessing the strengths of the two leading Republican presidential candidates after DeSantis officially entered the race on Wednesday. He praised the Florida governor’s intelligence but questioned his communication skills after Ingraham played a clip of DeSantis making a complicated comparison between financial institutions and elections.
Gingrich, a Fox News contributor, recommended that the Florida governor reduce the message to a slogan.
Here are other reactions to Gingrich’s comments about Trump:
