Revolutionary Bites

Gingrich’s campaign spokesman R.C. Hammond confirmed the calls were going out statewide in Florida Tuesday. The call’s claim that Romney vetoed a bill providing kosher meals to nursing home residents during his time as governor first arose Monday, when Gingrich cited a report from the New York Post.

The robocall begins by saying: “As governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney vetoed a bill paying for kosher food for our seniors in nursing homes. Holocaust survivors, who for the first time, were forced to eat non-kosher, because Romney thought $5 was too much to pay for our grandparents to eat kosher.”

Gingrich’s robocall then urges voters to cast votes for Gingrich, saying, “Tuesday you can end Mitt Romney’s hypocrisy on religious freedom, with a vote for Newt Gingrich.”

At a campaign stop in Plant City, Florida, Gingrich denied any knowledge of the robocall, despite his campaign claiming responsibility for it.

When asked if the call was “over the top,” Gingrich said, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

When pressed, Gingrich said he wouldn’t comment about the call since it was “something I don’t know about.”

At the end, the call says, “Paid for by Newt 2012.”

I have never heard a robocall like this in my entire life and I thought the 2008 election was dirty. Is there no low Newt won’t sink to? Using the Holocaust for political gains? Unforgivable.
