Newt's wife is straight horror film.

She reminds me of the martian girl from Mars Attacks!

 

[Risette]

Is this the worst convention in recent history? Is it possible to go down from here?

 

[Slacker]

If our enemies had their way, gay people would be put to death. Being crammed back in the closet doesn't sound so bad now, does it?

 

[Dishwalla]

Gonna tune out in a few minutes and watch the Samantha Bee special.

 

[Sianos]

Newt is giving a strict constructionist reading of Ted Cruz's speech.

Ohohohoho

Newt talking about women having choices and the mistreatment of LGBT people... Wrong script there, buddy.

 

[User1608]

Meanwhile what about Pence and conversion therapy.

 

[Envelope]

high point of republican america - gays and transgenders won't be murdered in the streets

 

[rodvik]

He evolved to his final form.

Well played.

Newt Gingrich: the new defender of LGBT community

And crowd goes fucking silent

 

[GK86]

If there is two things the GOP are known for it is helping the LGBT community and women.

 

[echoshifting]

Well Mike Pence is about to speak

 

[Applesauce]

LGBTQ would be put to death instead of relegated to 2nd class citizens!

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

What the fuck is this garbage.

 

[kingocfs]

Why give Cruz a prime time slot? I don't understand.

I don't understand.

 

[Klocker]

Newt is an idiot but Trump should have picked him over Pence.

 

[Ferrio]

FEAR

 

[Lime]

the defamation of muslims is straight up 1930's Othering

 

[Zyae]

Who is the woman in white sitting beside Trump Jr.? She's HAWT.

Ivanka Trump

 

[Xe4]

Did the mic cut for a second, or was it my feed?

 

[Hugstable]

What the fuck is this garbage.

Fear Mongering

 

[Sianos]

high point of republican america - gays and transgenders won't be murdered in the streets

"We just want to literally torture them into being straight through conversion "therapy" - that's much better, right?" - The Republican Platform

 

[JJDubz]

FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR

 

[Setsuna]

The Fear mongering is fucking outrageous

 

[Username1198]

Straight fear mongering

 

[aspiegamer]

The RNC reeeeeeeeally needed to put the charismatic speakers on nights 1 and 2 when the TV audience is most persuadable. I hate this man but his speech still easily grabs my attention.

...Wait, LGBT shoutout? ...Wrong convention? Oh, wait, I forgot, Newt isn't actually all that bigoted. Not even that racist! He's just Conservative As Fuck™ in the oldschool bureaucratic sense.

That counts as paraphrasing Cruz?

They don't seem to understand what plagiarism is, so, whatever, I'll allow it.

 

[Rebel Leader]

1? only fucking 1?

 

[helloresolven]

I love me a good bit of fear mongering in the evening.

 

[Jobbs]

I don't know why I'm still watching this, but overall I find the lack of self awareness legitimately startling on the part of the speakers and audience

 

[Androidsleeps]

LGBT and Women.....THE FUCKING NERVE

 

[Envelope]

"We just want to torture them into being straight - that's much better, right?" - The Republican Platform

also we will allow the females to have a handful of rights this time around #progress

 

[mjp2417]

Why give Cruz a prime time slot? I don't understand.

I don't understand.

They have no one else. Even Tim fucking Tebow cancelled on them

 

[Jonm1010]

I'm guessing in 2020 the Republicans will run a Cruz / Rubio ticket?

What do y'all think?

I could see it.

By then the GOP should be coming around to really desperately trying to capture their shedded Latino voters.

But like all GOP shit, they will be slow to pivot and likely take the wrong lessons and it will be a failure.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This entire convention might as well just be a foreign policy summit.

 

[Sickboy007]

What the fuck is this garbage.

Haven't you heard of Hillary's vp pick? Clinton/al-Baghdadi 2016!

 

[A Human Becoming]

Republicans cheering Muslims? What is this.

 

[LifEndz]

Most Muslims are peaceful, but who can tell the good from the bad, amIrite?

 

[Captin Quacker]

no newt the you'll distort it all on your own

 

[User1608]

Pretty sad that as much of a pos Newt is, he's probably one of the saner speakers up there tonight.

 

[Slacker]

Producer: Give me a shot of a Muslim in the crowd
Director (chain smoking himself to death): You son of a bitch.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Oh come on, he's implying freaking 16 million potential combatants in just one country.

 

[Dan]

Hehe.

Ryan Lizza ‏@RyanLizza 4m4 minutes ago
Newt's prepared remarks said, "Senator Ted Cruz in particular made the key point that we need to elect the Trump-Pence Republican ticket."

 

[Senoculum]

"We'd be happy to have [muslims] as neighbours!"... *scattered applause*.


Fuck everyone in that fucking stadium.

Except Ted Cruz and fam.

 

[Sianos]

Newt defending Muslims? Did someone sabotage his speech like Melania's was? Did he personally inspect those Muslims like he said he would?

 

[mjp2417]

I'm guessing in 2020 the Republicans will run a Cruz / Rubio ticket?

What do y'all think?

Cruz, sure. But Rubio's national political career is done

 

[Thoraxes]

He's not actually saying what the worse threat is...

are you serious? this dude is straight up throwing fuel on an anti-Muslim fire where mosques and other places associated with Islam gets attacked by vigilantes both in Europe and in the US because of the fear mongering he's doing right now

This is Othering.

 

[Veldin]

Better throw 9/11 in there, sure why not

 

[Already Torn]

He was born in 84 so yea he is. Thought he was older. He just looks old.

Wait, what's a millennial?
