This morning on Fox & Friends Rudy Guiliani shared his feelings about the attacks by Gingrich and Perry on Romney and Capitalism:
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who ran for President in 2008 and dipped a toe in the waters of the 2012 contest, professed himself “shocked” by Newt Gingrich ’s attacks on Mitt Romney ’s private-sector career during a “Fox and Friends” appearance this morning.
Giuliani asked, “What the hell are you doing, Newt? I expect this from Saul Alinsky! This is what Saul Alinsky taught Barack Obama, and what you’re saying is part of the reason we’re in so much trouble right now.”
Giuliani broadened his criticism to include the attacks on Bain Capital launched by both Gingrich and Texas Governor Rick Perry, who he described as “a very close friend of mine.” “I’m shocked at what they’re doing,” said Giuliani. “It’s ignorant and dumb. It’s building something we should be fighting in America, ignorance of the economic system, playing on the dumbest, most ridiculous ideas about how you grow jobs.” He characterized the attacks on Romney’s private sector career as “unfair and bad for the Republican Party.”
Emphasis added by me. Perry endorsed Guiliani For President in 2008 and the two, apparently, are good friends.
I believe the GOP candidates have damaged themselves for SC primary.
Joseph, I agree, I just hope they aren’t bringing Mitt down with them. Rudy was right, this was really dumb and ignorant for Perry and Gingrich to go this route. They must not have thought this through very well.
