Newt: 'Mythology' By 'Establishment' Gov't Shutdown Hurt GOP In 90s

Former speaker Newt Gingrich told WMAL’s “Mornings on the Mall” that there is a “mythology of this city” that the government shutdown of the 90s hurt the Republican party in the following elections. “I think if Republicans keep saying, ‘The President has an obligation to negotiate’ the American people will believe that,” Gingrich said.
