Newt Gingrich Fires Back at Pelosi Threat: “I Want to Thank Speaker Pelosi for what I Regard as an Early Christmas Gift” – Video 12/5/11

Here is video of Newt Gingrich today responding strongly to a threat by Nancy Pelosi that “when the time is right,” she will come out with dirt on Gingrich gleaned from her time on the House Ethics Committee investigating Gingrich many years ago.

Gingrich responded that he views Pelosi’s threat as “an early Christmas gift,” because it shows just how tainted and unfair the actions of that committee were when Pelosi was at the center of it. He also said he hopes the House would immediately condemn Pelosi and move against her if she releases any of the information she obtained while serving on that committee.
