Whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. Since Gingrich was part of the GOP-Clinton agreement to scrap Wall Street regulation, it must be difficult for him to see what a disaster his actions have caused. (Same goes for Bill Clinton, for that matter.) While it's grotesque for America to have become more similar to the countries that the Gingriches of the world like to criticize, the reality is, Gingrich and his type created this problem. Whether he likes it or not, there is an enormous imbalance of wealth today in the US.
“I am for 100 percent,” he said. “I think this idea of 99 percent and 1 percent is grotesque European socialist class warfare baloney.”Once again, the only class warfare is the Republican-led class warfare that got us to this point.
And President Obama is playing right along with that class warfare by expressing sympathy for the protesters, he added.
“I repudiate anybody who wants to divide Americans and I think that that there is a fundamental destructive quality to this 99 percent idea,” Gingrich said. “I think that it is shameful the president of the United States would engage in class warfare and pit Americans against each other in way which can only be destructive of the fabric of American society.”
