Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is warning that Democrats’ “very dangerous” rhetoric and behavior could lead to something “serious” against President Donald Trump, particularly after at least two failed attempts at taking the president’s life.

During an interview on Fox News, Gingrich dismissed a claim by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., that Republicans are “on the run,” warning that Democrats are in a rage and offering “no solutions.”

Gingrich said the left is resorting to extreme tactics to resist Trump and oppose Elon Musk’s efforts to cut government spending.
“Well, I think that everything you showed earlier reflects what Lincoln said at Gettysburg when he said, this is a test of whether this system or any system so conceived in liberty can survive. You have a hard-line group who believe that they have the right to be violent, that they have the right to deny the American people the choice of their leadership, that they have the right to break the law. The answer to all of that is, frankly, you have to lock them up. You have to enforce the law,” Gingrich began.

“Period. And at some point, people begin to realize that you can’t wage war against the entire American people. And in that sense, I would argue that Elon Musk is simply one of the people serving the American people. He’s a senior advisor to the president of the United States. And I think that, in that sense, all of this is totally unacceptable, as is harassing a Supreme Court justice or harassing the vice president and his three-year-old,” Gingrich added.

“What I saw the other night … the House Democrats were sort of zombie Democrats. They couldn’t applaud anything. They couldn’t applaud the president. They couldn’t applaud a 13-year-old cancer survivor. They couldn’t applaud a young man who wanted to go to West Point. They couldn’t applaud people who were there who had lost loved ones. It was pretty bizarre. And I think that, you know, Hakeem Jeffries may think he has to say these things. He’s their leader,” he said.

“What’s he going to say? But the fact is, the Democrats currently have no solutions. They are so enraged that Trump is actually changing what, overwhelmingly, Americans believe is a corrupt system. I’ll just give you one piece of data,” he said.

“Our America’s New Majority project just had a poll come out yesterday. 82% of the American people believe the system is corrupt. Now that’s dangerous. Both for the survival of freedom. But also it tells you the fact that the Democrats, who want to defend the bureaucracy and the corruption and the waste, they’re going to have a big mountain to climb come 2026,” Gingrich continued.

Gingrich went on to speak about the “remarkable contrast between the destructiveness” of the Democratic Party leadership and the “remarkable focus on peace” by President Donald Trump and his team.

Gingrich warned that it will be a key talking point going into November’s midterms.

“Here at home is totally different and here at home you’ve got two pygmies who live literally within 1.1 miles of each other, both in New York City,” Gingrich said.

“About to elect a big government socialist with radical values. They are totally out of touch with the country. Think about Schumer’s comment. Every day gets better. It sure does not get better for the workers who are laid off, for the people who cannot get there government services, it does not get better for normal Americans. Maybe that tells you how out of touch and house there the Democratic Party has become. But the contrast between the destructiveness of the democratic leadership and to the remarkable focus on peace by Donald Trump is truly astonishing,” Gingrich added.
