SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I want to put up on the screen -- I couldn't understand during the debate when the question was asked Hillary [Clinton] and Bernie Sanders, “Black Lives Matter or All Lives Matter?” Look at these numbers. Since Obama's been president, in Chicago, his hometown, his home city, at least 3,459 people have been murdered, thousands more shot and injured. He has only mentioned Chicago and the murder rate there nine times during his presidency, about once a year. And meanwhile, if it's Ferguson, if it's Freddie Gray in Baltimore, if it's Trayvon Martin, “that could have been me 35 years ago, that could have been my son.” Or if it's the Cambridge police, if it's a high-profile race case, he talks about it. Here you have an epidemic, mostly black-on-black crime in the city of Chicago, 3,459, but he only weighs in on these divisive high-profile cases. What does that say about him?
NEWT GINGRICH: Well, he's an irresponsible politician. As you know, in a number of the cases he weighs in on, he's factually wrong. He doesn't know what he's talking about. He immediately adopts the symbols, and it is the worst possible thing for a president of the United States to do. I mean, if he were a white president, automatically saying about a white victim, “That could have been me or that could have been my son,” all of the news media would be shocked at the implicit racism of that comment.
HANNITY: Yeah.
GINGRICH: The president of the United States should care about every American of every ethnic background. He should care about every person who gets killed, and he should be totally, 100 percent behind supporting the police, who are, frankly, the thin line of civilization here at home.
