Newt blames victims of Katrina

Someone should take Newt out behind the woodshed, and give him a good talking to. Or, maybe he needs anti-psychotic medication since he is apparently completely delusional. Well, neocons, conservatives and repugnants do what they do best....blame the victim.


Newt Blames The Victims of Katrina

(Newt Gingrich, speaking at CPAC) blamed the residents of New Orleans' 9th Ward for a "failure of citizenship," by being "so uneducated and so unprepared, they literally couldn't get out of the way of a hurricane."

And he called for a "deep investigation" into this "failure of citizenship."

Here's the full quote:

How can you have the mess we have in New Orleans, and not have had deep investigations of the federal government, the state government, the city government, and the failure of citizenship in the Ninth Ward, where 22,000 people were so uneducated and so unprepared, they literally couldn't get out of the way of a hurricane.
