Newt Gingrich furious

In a crime report by ZeroHedge, Newt Gingrich was quoted as saying "The US is at the edge of a terrible period" after a Facebook Live video surfaced in which a disabled Chicago teen is seen being tortured amid chants of "f*ck Donald Trump." The former House speaker went on to say: "If this had been done to an African-American by four whites, every liberal in the country would be outraged and there would be no question that it is a hate crime."

Despite all the outrage across the country, one of the suspect's grandmothers issued a statement.
