On Thursday morning’s edition of Fox & Friends, Gingrich started off by noting that O’Rourke lost his Senate race against Ted Cruz, but co-host Brian Kilmeade noted “He got close. It has not been blue in a long time.”

Co-host Steve Doocy then asked Gingrich about O’Rourke’s three terms in the House, which is when Gingrich offered just the second-worst example

of Republicans Making It About Lincoln this week.

“I think that Lincoln had only one term in the House and lost a Senate race,” Gingrich noted, which is correct.

That’s where the love ended, as Gingrich went on to add that Lincoln “Ended up as an amazing president. Maybe that will happen to Beto O’Rourke, but I somehow doubt it.”

Gingrich failed to note that a more recent Republican president, Donald Trump, served zero terms in the anything ever before being elected, making the argument about presidential resumes moot for eternity.
