Radio host offers Gingrich $1 million to drop out of GOP race
Conservative radio host Michael Savage is offering Republican presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich $1 million if he drops out of the GOP race within the next 72 hours, according to a message on his website.
“Newt Gingrich is unelectable. Mitt Romney is the only candidate with a chance of defeating Barack Obama, and there is nothing more important than that for the future health, safety, and security of the United States of America,” the statement read. “Therefore I am offering Newt Gingrich one million dollars to drop out of the presidential race for the sake of the nation.”
Savage said that as Speaker of the House, Gingrich didn’t deliver on his “Contract with America.” He also cited the ad Gingrich made with Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) about global warming, which Gingrich has called the "dumbest" move of his career, and said Gingrich’s idea to offer illegal aliens who are established in the U.S. a path to citizenship amounted to “amnesty.”
In addition, Savage noted Gingrich’s ties to mortgage giant Freddie Mac, his failed marriages and infidelity, and his remark that Paul Ryan’s budget plan amounted to “right-wing social engineering.”
Some have argued that Gingrich’s prowess as a debater would pit him well against President Obama during the election, but Savage said that regardless of how well he does, he will “come off badly compared to Obama and look like nothing more than what he is: a fat, old, white man.”
“If Newt Gingrich really loves this country as much as he says he does, if he really wants what is best for America, he will set his ego aside, call me, and accept my offer,” the statement said. “His continued candidacy spells nothing but ruin for conservatives, Republicans and all true American patriots. One million dollars in exchange for preserving the nation, Newt. I say take the money and don’t run.”
