Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is raising alarms over what he describes as increasingly hostile and \u201cvery dangerous\u201d rhetoric from Democratic leaders, warning that such political behavior could escalate into something serious aimed at former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

During a recent appearance on Fox News, Gingrich dismissed remarks made by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who had claimed that Republicans are \u201con the run.\u201d In response, Gingrich contended that Democrats are driven by rage and lack meaningful policy solutions, choosing instead to focus on political resistance rather than governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what you\u2019re seeing is a group of people who are willing to break the law, challenge democratic norms, and even justify violence in order to stop President Trump or those who support his policies,\u201d Gingrich said. \u201cIt\u2019s a level of anger that\u2019s not just political\u2014it\u2019s dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou Have to Enforce the Law\u201d
\nGingrich went further, referencing Abraham Lincoln\u2019s Gettysburg Address as he warned of the risk that the American constitutional system could collapse under such division and hostility.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a group on the hard left who believes they have the right to ignore laws, silence opposition, and even use intimidation. And the only real response to that is simple: You have to enforce the law. Period,\u201d Gingrich said firmly. \u201cYou cannot wage war against the American people and expect no consequence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former House Speaker also defended tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who has been both praised and criticized for advocating government spending cuts and for his close advisory role in the Trump administration. Gingrich described Musk as \u201csomeone serving the people\u201d and said recent attacks against him are part of a broader campaign by progressives to resist reform.<\/p>\n

\u201cZombie Democrats\u201d and Refusal to Applaud<\/p>\n

Gingrich also reflected on recent events in the House of Representatives, where he noted a visibly divided and disinterested Democratic caucus during a public address by Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I saw the other night in Congress was truly bizarre,\u201d he remarked. \u201cDemocrats sat silent and expressionless\u2014what I call \u2018zombie Democrats\u2019. They couldn\u2019t even applaud a 13-year-old cancer survivor, a West Point-bound student, or grieving families. That\u2019s not political opposition\u2014that\u2019s political dysfunction.\u201d<\/p>\n

He argued that their behavior reflects deeper frustration over Trump\u2019s enduring popularity and influence. According to Gingrich, the left is losing ground with working-class Americans who view the political establishment as corrupt.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur research at the America\u2019s New Majority Project shows that 82% of Americans believe the current political system is corrupt,\u201d he stated. \u201cThat level of public distrust should alarm anyone who cares about democracy, but instead, Democrats appear to be defending the very institutions and bureaucracies people have lost faith in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Protests and the Insurrection Act
\nThe escalating tension comes amid mass protests in Los Angeles, where demonstrators clashed with police over ongoing ICE raids targeting undocumented workers. Some protesters reportedly spat on officers and engaged in vandalism.<\/p>\n

In response, former President Donald Trump\u2014who remains an influential political figure and potential 2028 contender\u2014authorized the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to the city to restore order. Speaking from New Jersey alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump condemned the protesters\u2019 actions and confirmed he is considering invoking the Insurrection Act, a rarely used federal authority that allows military intervention during civil unrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot allow mobs to attack law enforcement,\u201d Trump told reporters. \u201cWe\u2019re going to protect our officers, and there will be consequences for those who assault them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Democratic Pushback<\/p>\n

However, the deployment has been met with sharp criticism from Democrats, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, who condemned Trump\u2019s actions as excessive. In a public statement, Harris accused Trump of using force to suppress dissent and criticized the federal government\u2019s decision to override California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, both of whom had declined to use local law enforcement against the protests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a dangerous federal overreach,\u201d Harris said. \u201cPeaceful protest is a constitutional right, and using the military against our own citizens is a step too far.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the backlash, Trump\u2019s supporters argue that the administration is simply restoring law and order in areas where local leadership has failed to act.<\/p>\n

Looking Ahead
\nAs political tensions rise, Gingrich warned that the deepening partisan divide could have serious consequences for the nation\u2019s future. He urged both parties to prioritize solutions over political warfare.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe American people want answers\u2014not endless fighting,\u201d he said. \u201cIf we don\u2019t get back to solving problems, we risk losing the very freedoms our system was built to protect.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
