Newt the Apostle: "If he뭩 prepared to publicly recognize God-maybe we should encourage him"

KILMEADE: Alright, Mr. Speaker, what do you think of that?

GINGRICH: Well, I hope he means it. <...> I뭢 sad that it took a crisis of this scale, but I뭢 delighted that the president has recognized that we in fact all are subordinate to a larger God and that we need to seek guidance from that God.

CARLSON: But Mr. Speaker, did you find it at all disingenuous, because some people are analyzing that this morning as saying it was disingenuous from a president who does not go to Church on a regular basis?

GINGRICH: <...> If he뭩 prepared to publicly recognize God, maybe we should encourage him to do it more often.

2. Bush rarely went to church

so if anyone is being disngenuous it's the twits on Fox and Friends.

3. I like the way they still call this tool Mr. Speaker

Kind of like referring to Caribou Barbie as Madam Governor. Neither one finished out their term and only Barbie left willingly.
