Gingrich Drops Hammer on Biden: ‘Second-Worst President in American History’

Republican former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has slammed Joe Biden as the “second-worst president in American history.”

This from slaynews.com.

Gingrich dropped the hammer on Biden during an appearance on Fox News’s Jesse Watters Primetime.

According to Gingrich, Biden is second to the worst president of all time, James Buchanan.

Gingrich blamed former President Buchanan for getting the country into the Civil War.

Gingrich said:

I think it’s important to remember, first of all, to be fair, Jimmy Carter was a disaster.

But he was a lot smarter and a lot more coherent than Joe Biden.

“Well, Carter, in the end, couldn’t solve the problems.

But, Gingrich noted:

He at least was there.

You could imagine him as a naval academy graduate and a nuclear engineer from the submarine program.

He was – he had a kind of competence even if he was incompetent.

Gingrich added:

Biden has neither.

Second, I think it’s not fair to say that he’s the worst president.

I think Buchanan, who got us into the Civil War, still has that title.

But it would be fair to say that Biden may be the second-worst president in American history, at least in terms of his destructive effect.

Talking specifics, Gingrich offered:

You know, my wife Calista went out Saturday, filled up her car, came home in a state of shock.

She paid $104.50 to fill up her car.”

Now. I don’t care how often Joe Biden goes on comedy shows and understand he’ll be on a comedy show Wednesday night.

First of all, it’s not funny when you can’t find infant formula, and you can’t pay for gas, and you can’t afford food, and crimes going up in your city.

But second, that’s the real world.

Gingrich continued.:

The White House doesn’t understand.

If you’re not eating in the White House mess and you don’t have Air Force One taking you somewhere.

The world’s gotten to be very expensive and very dangerous, and Biden seems to have no clue about what’s going on around him.

WATCH:

Final thought, two observations and two questions: Newt may be over the target in his comparison of Biden with Carter and Buchanan, but his failure to address Obama behind the curtain pulling the levers is a significant omission. Newt is a smart, observant man—the omission was intentional, yes? And, why?
