The crowd at one point began chanting Gingrich’s name, leading Trump to say, “I can tell you in one form or another, Newt Gingrich is going to be involved with our government”. Many people calling for Gingrich believe that he could draw upon his experience in Washington to counsel Trump, a political outsider. After Gingrich accompanied Trump on stage and spoke at a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio on July 6, NextGen Climate – San Francisco based environmental advocacy organization – published a short attack ad in Ohio slamming the potential running mates.

But what seems to have gotten lost in the criticism is the rest of the image – the backdrop of $100 bills and labeling Mrs. Clinton the “most corrupt candidate ever”.
Newt Gingrich says that he thinks Donald Trump is a “necessary candidate” amid global anti-establishment sentiment, but that he wouldn’t automatically say yes to an eventual proposal to become Trump’s running mate.
“I think it is so profoundly dishonest that it sickens me and makes me very angry”.
“I think he’s checking out the chemistry and the feel with a number of people”, Gingrich said.
“All of a sudden it turned out to be in the minds of the press, only because it could have been a sheriff’s star, it could have been a regular star”, Trump said, according to The Hill.
This week at a rally in North Carolina Donald Trump talked about how he admired Saddam Hussein. “And in the middle of this, you get this kind of smear?” he said.
In another interview to CNN, Gingrich alleged that the media has distorted Trump’s tweet. “But if you think the news media is biased, then join me”, he added.
There is no evidence Trump has consciously courted people who espouse hate speech, but he has repeatedly retweeted messages from Twitter users with questionable profiles.
“Just think about it for a second – you’re doing a tweet about how somebody who is a crook so you put in cash”.

His team also wound up – accidentally, it said – choosing as a delegate to the upcoming Republican National Convention a white nationalist leader named William Johnson whose group paid for pro-Trump robo-calls during the GOP primary.
