Outspoken Gingrich
addresses Americans
DALLAS (AP) — Continuing his
criticism of President Clinton, U.S.
House Speaker Newt Gingrich said
Monday “this country looks terrible
in the world.”
“This really should be a time of
great sadness and pain for every
American,” Gingrich said during
.a speech in Dallas. “We should
’..'approach this as patriots, not
"partisans. We should be con-
^cerned about the presidency, not
j any one person.”
Gingrich hammered home the
same message he left Friday in
Phoenix, Satur-
. i.day
ern
in South-
California
fp’and Sunday in
J Las Vegas.
i;| The Ameri-
can people
'• have the right
III to know if the
president has
ii. committed a
Jj| crime, he said.
'ii The president is
not above the â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– 
'i' law. And as the
^' country’s chief law enforcement
" agent, Clinton himself should want
I,'; to get to the bottom of the contro-
j" versies that plague him.
i!| Gingrich was in Dallas to speak
!'! before 350 people at a fundraiser
i!i luncheon for U.S. Rep. Pete Ses-
sions, R-Dallas, who’s running for
i,| reelection.
I' 1 Gingrich said he was one of the
iii first Washington leaders to urge
i;[ others not to rush to judgment
iii when the sex and perjury scandal
i' 1 hit the Wliite House.
'n But then he became angered by
iJI some politicians’ suggestion that
ii Secret Service agents should not
i[|; have to testify in investigations into
'i the president’s conduct.
2 “I thought, as a historian, this
“This really should be a
time of great sadness and
pain for every American. ”
Newt Gingrich
U.S. House Speaker
goes to the very core of American
civilization,” he said.
“The Secret Service does not
work for the president. The Secret
Service works for the American
people.”
Gingrich also repeated his four
main goals for America, which he
presented during speeches over the
past few days: fight drugs, improve
education, reform Social Security
and reduce taxes.
The outspoken Gingrich used
those ideas as a launching pad to
tout his fellow GOP legislators and
bash the Clinton
administration.
“When you
have no moral
authority, it
doesn’t matter
what you tell
kids. They’re not
going to listen to
you. This admin
istration has no
moral authority,”
he said.
“The presi
dent says, ‘Please
put down that cigarette so I can give
you a free needle.’ What kind of
message is that?”
Gingrich also praised El Paso
educator Tony Trujillo for reform
ing the city’s second-largest school
district.
He called Trujillo the wisest edu
cator he’s met.
“Their mission statement is,
every young person in the school
system will graduate, fluently bilin
gual in two languages, and be able
to go to college,” he said.
“Washington cannot run the
schools of the state of Texas and
will only make a mess of them if
they try.”
The largely partisan crowd em
braced Gingrich’s ideas.
