Speaking to The Washington Post on Friday, Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich made it clear how he felt about his former Republican nominee rival Mitt Romney’s campaign in 2012. “If I had Romney’s money I would’ve crushed Romney. He outspent me by some amazing number in Florida, most of it by the way, on lies,” Gingrich said. “I will never forgive Romney for the depth of dishonesty in his campaign.”
