Gingrich Says Obama Born in Hawaii

By /
Former GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich isn’t taking the bait after Donald Trump’s latest birther outburst. 

Excerpts from ABC News Radio:

“Other people may believe that he was born somewhere else and still kills jobs, but that’s an argument over background,” said Gingrich, speaking in the lobby of the Trump International Hotel where he will attend a fundraiser expected to raise more than $2 million for Romney’s campaign.

“I’m happy to say I believe he was born in Hawaii,” Gingrich said.

Asked if he thought he should suggest to Trump to back down from his birther claims, Gingrich said, “Far be it from me to suggest to the Donald what he should do.”
