Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on FOX News’ Hannity’ predicted former President Donald Trump will win the election by a wide margin and warned that out of desperation his victory “could lead to activities we have to worry about a lot.”
To kick off the segment, Hannity mentioned the interview network anchor Bret Baier did with Harris earlier in the evening on Thursday, saying, “She was lying, filibustering, blaming Trump, you know, they’re calling him a fascist, a Nazi, they’re playing the race card. Put it all together. What does this tell you about where they think this race is with 21 days to go?” [See video below]
“First of all, I just want to say I thought that Bret Baier did an amazing job, and a comment that Charlamagne Tha God had said on the radio show, she filibusters, and Bret broke into her filibuster and disrupted her rhythm, and I think was generally a very bad night for her, not because Bret was biased, but because he kept going back to the record, and back to the truth, and back to clear questions,” Gingrich began before making a frightening prediction.
“Now, here, I want to be very clear about how really worried I am. You have two enormous threats that are out there, that are totally outside the American tradition. The first, which you’ve indicated a little bit of tonight, is people who are on the left, so paranoid, so frightened, so out of touch with reality, you don’t know what they’re going to do,” Gingrich added.
“And I think this is a very real problem, with almost a mental health kind of problem, but it could have very direct, very real consequences. For a long time, they thought that the effort to impeach Trump would stop him. Then they thought that January 6th would stop him,” he told Hannity. “Then they thought that the courts would stop him. He just keeps coming. And I think at some point, the desperation of those on the left who see him legitimately as the end of their world, which is what he is, could lead to activities that really we have to worry about a lot.
“The other thing, which I don’t think is talked about enough, the Iranians have clearly said they want to kill Trump. Now, I’ve been delighted that Speaker Johnson has spoken up and said bluntly that an Iranian attack on an American political leader would, in fact, be an act of war and would lead to war. And even President Biden has said that attacking an American leader would be an act of war,” the former Speaker continued.
“But I think we need to be really concerned, because the Iranians have a long history of trying to kill people and assassinate people. And so between those two, I think we have to have a constant concern for the safety of President Trump, because he’s showing enormous courage. He continues to campaign,” Gingrich added. “He continues to be vulnerable. He continues to be out with the people. And yet a tiny percent of the American people verge on being crazy.”
He concluded: “And the Iranians really have a long history of trying to kill people. So that’s my biggest worry. I think, barring that, Trump’s going to be the next president. I think he’s going to win. And I think he may win by a shocking margin.”
