At one point, Gingrich stated that George Soros was helping to fuel the riots in many US cities by donating to efforts to elect left-wing, anti-police, pro-criminal district attorneys.
Co-host, Melissa Francis, interrupted him saying:
“I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this.”
Gingrich responded:
“Why can’t we discuss the fact that millions of dollars he spent elected these people?... He paid for it. I mean, why can’t we discuss the fact that millions of dollars…”
Panelist Marie Harf then interrupted with:
“No, he didn’t. I agree with Harris. George Soros doesn’t need to be a part of this conversation.”
Gingrich backed down at that point, saying:
“OK. So it’s verboten.”
The following day Bill O'Reilly dared to say this on his own show:
“George Soros has donated 17 million dollars to counties to get far left progressives into the District Attorney’s offices, that is a fact... So Gingrich is absolutely correct... But the rule is, if you invoke the name 'George Soros,' then you're anti-Semitic, because Soros is Jewish...
That's what the ladies were responding to... So, why are they buying into that? This is a factual story. George Soros is using his billions of dollars to undermine the Justice system in the United States, in my opinion, and in Newt Gingrich's opinion. And we have our stats to back it up.
And you can't discuss that? Something really, really wrong going on.”
