Lies Newt Gingrich Told Me of the Day: John King, not one to let things go, has successfully managed to compel the Gingrich campaign to admit that the GOP presidential candidate was “wrong” when he claimed that his staff offered up witnesses to debunk the claims made by his ex-wife on ABC’s Nightline.
King, who unintentionally gave Gingrich a much-needed boost with a debate question about Marianne Gingrich’s “open marriage” revelation that backfired rather spectacularly, scored last night’s about-face just as new polling figures emerged showing Gingrich’s surge waning.
In other words, King, who practically handed South Carolina to Gingrich, may have just played a critical role in taking Florida away.
