Newt Gingrich Criticizes DeLay
DeLay Urges GOP Senators To Blame Democrats When Asked About
Controversy
WASHINGTON (CBS)
There was fresh criticism Tuesday of embattled House Majority Leader
Tom DeLay from a prominent member of his own party.
In an exclusive interview with CBS News Correspondent Gloria Borger,
former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said it's time for DeLay to stop
blaming a left-wing conspiracy for his ethics controversy and to lay
out his case for the American people to judge.
"I don’t want to prejudge him and my hope is that Tom will be able to
prove his case," said Gingrich, who engineered the Republican takeover
of the House in 1994.
"But I think the burden is on him to prove it at this point."
Is he doing that?
"I don’t know yet. I think the jury's out," said Gingrich.
"DeLay's problem isn’t with the Democrats; DeLay's problem is with the
country," Gingrich continued.
