SE Cupp and Matt Lewis Defend Racist Remarks From Gingrich and Santorum

This is a panel discussion about the different candidates in Iowa that took place this morning on MSNBC. It began with Alex Wagner asking whether Iowa campaigns would cause trouble for whoever the nominee is when the general election rolls around.

Nearly out of the gate, this panel goes off the rails, thanks to SE Cupp. First Alex Wagner quotes this line from a December 27th New York Times anti-Ron Paul editorial:

Ron Paul long ago disqualified himself for the presidency by peddling claptrap proposals like abolishing the Federal Reserve, returning to the gold standard, cutting a third of the federal budget and all foreign aid and opposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

To which SE Cupp chirps in with her opinion that "most of that is actually good stuff!"
