Newt Gingrich was spotted at the White House, claiming he was only visiting and not interviewing for the role of chief of staff. The Washington Examiner reports:
Newt Gingrich said Thursday he was at the White House this week to see the Christmas decorations, not to interview to be President Trump’s next chief of staff.
“No,” the former House speaker said on Fox News when asked if he’s a candidate. “As you pointed out, I went to the White House yesterday to see the decorations. We wanted to see what Melania had done.”
“Several reporters saw me … and that promptly jumped to, ‘Oh, are you being interviewed?’ No, I was actually just wandering around just looking at decorations. It was Christmas.”
“I was there as an American citizen looking at one of the most famous of American buildings,” he said.
A Gingrich selection would not be surprising however. He has the legislative experience that would be an excellent bridge to Congress, something that General Kelly, despite all his other qualities, did not have.
Theoretically Newt would be a great candidate, but this is a 16 hour, 7 day-a-week job. Newt is too old. Sad but true. He would agree.
No we wouldn’t. Newt, is too egotistic. He would interfere with President Trump’s agenda and style.
Dan Bongino, or Mark Levin should be the next AG.
Or if Dan Bongino is not picked as AG then he or Fox New’s Sean Hannity, Waters, or Judge Jeanine Pirro, anyone of them would be great choices for Chief of Staff.
Newt would be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if not Newt then after General Kelly case is solved, trump pardons him and he is made Chief of Staff and Trey Gowdy is the New Attorney General. that should have the Liberal Democrats pooping in their pants, and if that old lady on the Supreme court
decides to step down and trump gets a third pick, Democrats will have strokes
en masse
Let ’em all stroke out!
Gingrich, excellent choice!
Cannot think of a better Chief of Staff then Newt.
Newt would be a good choice for chief of staff. He was in congress and knows how it works or should we say does not work.
I have no problem with it. He dies know the ins and outs of Washington. Trump is weak in that area. Both head strong but think alike.
Di nit think it will happen.
AHH come on Newt. Become the next Chief of Staff. We would love it.
