Gingrich apologizes to Ryan for Medicare criticism

[Geee]

Washington Examiner:

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has apologized to congressman Paul Ryan for criticizing his proposal to overhaul Medicare.

Spokesmen for both Gingrich and Ryan tell The Associated Press that the former House speaker called Ryan on Tuesday and offered an apology.

Ryan spokesman Conor Sweeney said the Wisconsin Republican accepted Gingrich's apology. Gingrich spokesman Rick Tyler says the call to Ryan "went very well."

I think this was not just a shot in the foot for Gingrich. If he's having to come out and apologize at this point in his campaign...it was a shot to the heart.

I listened to Newt on Greta. I don't know what he was thinking! I think he shot himself in the foot and killed his campaign before it ever got off the ground.
