Fox News had a Newt Gingrich problem -- and it just announced a solution.
The cable news channel is suspending its ties with Newt Gingrich since Gingrich is on Donald Trump's vice presidential short list.

What’s happening is Newt will be Trump’s Chief of Staff or a high ranking cabinet official.
“It’s happening!”
I’m actually tearing up. I know some Freepers won’t forgive Newt but he is the only one that knows the complete Clinton history and run circles around that witch no matter what she spews.
“What’s happening is Newt will be Trump’s Chief of Staff or a high ranking cabinet official.”
I love that as well. Chief of Staff or just Attack Dog General would be great. He’s going to have to pound republican heads as well as Dims.
Agree in full. I like him the best.
Maybe. Maybe not. Trump said the other day Newt woukd definitely have a job in the administration So there would be a conflict of interest no matter which position.
Once Newt is named as running mate, FOX must cut ties as “contributor” with him, per FCC regulations, or, offer equal time to Hilary’s VP choice.
It’s the law.
Stelter clarifies on Twitter:
“I don’t think “Fox suspending Newt” automatically =’s “Newt will be VP.” It means Fox had to address this conflict”
I like Newt, but Newt led the free trade movement. I think Newt is smart enough to look around and see what happened. But regardless, Trump needs to avoid being overly influenced by Newt on Trade.
But Newt also wanted to impeach wayward judges. I think Newt needs to be given whatever resources he needs to make that happen.
nope it will be Newt.
Really? They can’t wait a week to see who Trump picks for VP? If not Newt then a non issue.
Funny, I just saw Newt on Fox about 10 minutes ago.
I would be Trump won’t be VP or Chief of Staff. The latter is basically an appointment secretary, a job for a younger man. I don’t see him an administrator either. My bet is some kind of senior presidential advisor, like Valerie Jerrett.
Yep. That's what happened with Mike Huckabee once he announced he would be seeking the Republican nomination.
I hope Trump doesn’t pick that General that has been around Fox News the last few days. He’s not quick enough to be out there campaigning. I’m sure Trump needs good military advisors, but there are plenty of positions available for a good military person.
Trump needs someone political that can whip DC into shape.
Flynn is terrible, always tongue tied even on softballs you can see a mile away.
But it still has the lame RINO Rove on its network?
Stupid law...but I digress....
