Gingrich Plays Diplomat After Cruz Booed Off Stage
Newt Gingrich played diplomat when he addressed the convention crowd shortly after Ted Cruz was booed off stage by attempting to translate for the Texas senator.
“I just want to point out what Ted Cruz said,” Gingrich said near the top of his remarks. “You can vote to uphold the Constitution, there is only one candidate who will uphold the Constitution.”
“So to paraphrase Sen. Cruz, if want to protect the Constitution, the only possible candidate is the Trump-Pence ticket,” the former House Speaker and 2012 presidential candidate.
Prior to Gingrich’s speech, Cruz was booed for urging candidates to vote their conscience but did not endorse Trump.
