Newt Gingrich Went on Hannity to Plug an Online Course He's Teaching - Twitter Reactions Are Gold

Newt Gingrich Went on Hannity to Plug an Online Course He’s Teaching — the Twitter Reactions Are Gold

by Joe DePaolo | 9:27 am, September 8th, 2017

Thursday night on Hannity, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich stopped by to plug an online course he’s teaching called “Defending America.”

“It’s really on how to defeat the left intellectually,” Gingrich said. “And remind people why America is unique and why American history matters and why being patriotic is important.”

It’s a standalone course — not being taught in association with any institution of higher learning — for which the former House Speaker is charging $49.99 (with 20 percent off for early registrants).

The comparisons to Trump U, of course, are inevitable. And Twitter didn’t disappoint. Here’s a sampling of the online reaction to this money grab:

5. Section 5: Excusing adultery with patriotism

Want to get a little something on the side, but know that your slack-jawed partisans frown on adultery? Tell everyone you were just so darned committed to our beloved United States of America that you couldn't help it but to put your penis into a woman you weren't married to. Anyone who has a problem with that clearly hates the United States!

Prerequisite: Sections 1-4. This material is not for beginners. You have to really be committed to the grift before you can pull this one off.

How Gingrich and the right wing zealots are trying to make the USA a pariah to the rest of the civilized planet.
