12:18Now PlayingNewt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani continue their racebaiting Trump apology tour. Michael Shure, Brett Erlich, and Thor Benson, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich on Sunday encouraged Donald Trump supporters to “monitor” polling stations on election day in order to make sure the election is “not stolen,” continuing the Republican presidential campaign’s spread of a unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.
On ABC’s This Week, when host Martha Raddatz asked Gingrich if he thought Trump fans should monitor the polls, he responded, “They should.”
Trump recently told his supporters to sign up to become “election observers” to “watch your polling booths,” especially in “certain areas.”
Gingrich is the latest of Trump surrogates to publicly complain of the election being “rigged” against Trump, blaming the media’s focus on Trump’s treatment of women for the candidate’s slipping poll numbers. On Sunday, Trump himself said Saturday Night Live was part of the media conspiracy against him.
According to a poll released Sunday from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, Clinton is leading Trump by 11 points among likely voters on a ballot that includes third-party candidates.
“I think that without the unending one-sided assault of the news media, Trump would be beating Hillary by 15 points,” Gingrich said Sunday.
“This is not about election officials at the precinct level, this is about last Friday when the networks spent 23 minutes on the Trump tape and less than one minute … on the Hillary Clinton’s secret speeches that were being revealed on WikiLeaks,” Gingrich said.
But later on Sunday, Trump made clear he wasn’t just blaming the press, tweeting that the election was “absolutely being rigged” by the media “but also at many polling places.””*
