Fox's Newt Gingrich calls on conservatives to “harass the news media and treat them with the contempt they've earned”

Gringrich: “It's the most difficult two years, not counting the Civil War, it's the most difficult two years I can remember any president having”

From the March 27 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show:

NEWT GINGRICH (GUEST): The liberal media hates Trump, were desparate to destroy Trump, were waging war on Trump, it's the most difficult two years, not counting the Civil War, it's the most difficult two years I can remember any president having

...

Lindsay Graham is going to play such a pivotal role, I think the committee he chairs, the Judiciary Committee has the power to do a lot of digging and to do a lot of subpoenaing. I think the president should ask the new attorney general to do a thorough review

...

And then I think the rest of us ought to just nag and ridicule and harass the news media and treat them with the contempt they've earned, unless they're willing to do the kind of things I've talked about.
