Ron Paul Replies To Gingrich Attack

Ron Paul has replied to Newt Gingrich’s attack on him after the Iowa caucus which saw Newt calling Mr Paul “stunningly dangerous” because of his foreign policy.

On CNN this morning Ron Paul accused Newt of chickening out of fighting in the Vietnam war, Ron Paul Said

“I don’t want to fight a war that’s unconstitutional and I’m the dangerous person?”

“You know, when Newt Gingrich was called to service in the 1960s during the Vietnam era, guess what he thought about danger? He chickened out on that, he got deferments and didn’t even go,”

Ron Paul also pointed to the hypocrisy of sending others to do what Gingrich wasn’t able to do himself, calling him a “chicken hawk”;

“So right now he sends these young kids over there to endure the danger, and the kids coming back, the young people coming back and the ones in the military right now, they overwhelmingly support my campaign.”
