While there is plenty of legitimate criticism of Newt to go around, Levin says that conservatives and Republicans who have been around a long time know that Newt Gingrich is no Marxist/Socialist “like these imbeciles suggest”.

Levin adds that he also doesn’t remember any big liberal agenda being pushed by Newt when he was Speaker of the House.

He also weighs in on Mitt Romney in this clip as well:
