This Attack On Obama Golfing Just Came Back To Haunt Gingrich
Few politicians in history have been more shameless than Newt Gingrich about spouting attacks against adversaries only to hypocritically defend allies who engage in behavior that is similar, or oftentimes worse.
As Trump’s golf game has become increasingly common and astronomically expensive for taxpayers, Gingrich’s proclivity for hypocrisy is coming back to bite him. A tweet recently resurfaced criticizing President Obama (who he called “president obsma”) for the cost of playing golf:
Trump and president obsma both golf but trump doesn't charge the taxpayers $920,000 for a golf weekend in florida.

Progressives and others who dislike hypocrisy have been responding to the four year-old tweet in classic form.
Enjoy!
hey newt, it's so cool how you're not even embarrassed to shart in public.

The hypocrisy is staggering and incredibly dangerous. Thankfully, Twitter keeps it entertaining as well.
