NEW YORK—Bemoaning the paper’s recent series focusing on the role slavery played in American history, Newt Gingrich slammed’ 1619 Project Monday as shameless abolitionist propaganda.
“What happened to giving the public all the information about slavery’s benefits and drawbacks and trusting them to decide? Apparently, that sort of faith in your readers to understand the real consequences of outlawing slavery is something theno longer possesses. In fact, if they’re going to be putting out biased nonsense like this, the newspaper’s editors might as well have left-wing lunatics like William Lloyd Garrison writing up their anti-slavery screed for them.
YES . THEY ARE. REALLY SAD THAT THEY HAVE TO GO BACK 400 YEARS TO CRY ABOUT 'WHO'' PIUCKED COTTEN..WHO CARES ? REALLY..COME ON....MAN..GET WITH THE TIMES..
When the Onion actually lives up to its Chyron.
...I stared at this for a very long time to find the punch line because it feels like something that could have truly been said
Yep Newt it must really bother ya when them black folks get all uppity and wanna vote , without knowing how many jelly beans are in the jar .
Hoss whip those danged abolitionists! They's comin' after our 'culiar institution!
Trump's version:
At this point aren’t you just the news?
Black people were in American long before slave ships or the Mayflower. End of story.
Boooo. Not funny. 👎🏻 Try again, champ.
Boy, talk about little hands!
Gingrich and his Republican revolution were all about taking our country back to a time that never existed and at break-neck speed. I called it Beaver Cleaver-Fever.

Look who's talking about propaganda. That's what he is spreading.
1619 Project is to shame white questioning immigration rates and foreign aid. Also to pander to black that funneling local economy to DC will bring more resources back. Eat the rich never happens. If they wanted to 'eat the rich' then only tax wealthy income.
I keep thinking Newt Gingrich died years ago. Always surprised to find out he’s still alive.
Finding humor(irony? in Newt Gingrich? This may take some time and effort even for you.
VegaDraco Who cares
i love you .
Irrelevant man most no one remembers or gives a fuck about says what?
You all know that The Onion is supposed to be a satire of online news sites and is in no way considered as a legit source of news right?
I don't think this one is satire.

oh crap. lmao, glad someone pointed out this is satire. really sad that i would expect him to say some mess like this.
It took me far too long to realize this was satire.
'Abolitionist Propaganda' The abolitionist movement was an organized effort to end the practice of slavery in the United States. So slavery is 'propaganda?' Interesting.
Globalist 1619 Project organizers, replace 1619 Black African Slaves with Latin and Chinese economic slaves, to pad their pockets and reduce American workers to 3rd World standards.
wardnow
I’m a black woman and I don’t know all of our history. I jus learned about 1619. Mr. Nueter, what’s wrong with us learning about the 1619 project? How slavery started using propaganda. Your statements of denial are propaganda. It’s people like you that has hid our full history.
AMERIKKKA............
he is correct
This actually sounds like something he’d say tho
Why are racist running from their racist history. Everyone needs to know how America came to be. In my American history class, I was only taught about the battles and not why they were fought. It’s shameful it children can’t learn about Americans history in its entirety.
Y’all’s job must be so difficult right now.God bless you!
MaxBoot fucknewt
HNTurtledove These guys are putting you off you game.
🤣
Is this parody or news? I've lost track.
Yes...Newt is anti-abolition...true to form.
MaxBoot You need to disappear because your ideas are antiquated.
MaxBoot Newt is one of many embarrassments in America.
Gingrich went on to say that if the NYT gets their way, soon blacks will be able to own property, or even vote.
MaxBoot You sir are past your expiration date.
'might as well have left-wing lunatics like William Lloyd Garrison writing up their anti-slavery screed for them.' If William Lloyd Garrison got a one-shot op-ed in the Times, regular columnists John Calhoun and James Henry Hammond would rant about it it for months afterwards.
Since this is political, I think snopes needs to fact check it.
I can't tell reality from satire anymore
When satire starts to mimic real life...
9
And always keen to show off his skills in Karate . . .
“There were fine people on both sides of the slavery issue!”
I heard what he said on Fox, this isn't parody.
GedesBru ... barely discernible satire
When you can’t tell an Onion headline from an actual news item.
Did Newt slam the NYT’s from Fox? Where if it wasn’t for propaganda your tv screen would be blank.
Very confusing for the Newt, since nothing he has ever done has been without shame.
Get it? Because if you criticize the project it must mean you like slavery, that's clever!
Meanwhile, 17th century colonial southerners label Newt Gingrich as a violent reactionary
The 1619 project was brilliant. I learned a lot.
In the the 1800s the GOP was an abolitionist party. Now it has become the white supremacy and confederate legacy party. And Newt is not at all embarrassed to demonstrate that reality.
I can't tell the Onion from The New York Times anymore!
wait, this is the onion?
PFFFFFFTTTT😂😂
He's the guy that saw sunshine coming from a horses ass...it was his reflection.
That watch is screaming for release from the cankle at the end of his arm.
he’s so naughty
He just wants to go to the club to drink piss.
tomwp newtgingrich Hey snopes how about a fact-check? This is “labeled satire?”
newtgingrich yeah, with 3 squares a day, full employment and a retirement program, what r blacks whining about w/ slavery
Cc jbouie BrentNYT KevinMKruse nhannahjones
tomwp newtgingrich And than you find out that the nytimes and 1619 lose all credibility when tomwp is found out to be a massive anti-semite. If you care about history do the work yourself. Do not trust liars and racists to tell you what happened and why. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
tomwp newtgingrich Hey snopes are you going to check this?
tomwp newtgingrich Newt Gingrich has 1000x more integrity than the Race-baiting NYT
tomwp newtgingrich And it is just that
willchamberlain newtgingrich I remember when the Onion was mildly amusing.
newtgingrich Newt...scoot over... let a Non-DRAFT DODGER opine to your stupidity!
newtgingrich “What happened to giving the public all the information about slavery’s benefits & drawbacks & trusting them to decide?” (Newt Gingrich) These issues were resolved 154 yrs ago; that a former Speaker of the House says this in the 21st Century is Harris/Disney ‘Uncle Remus’ Stuff.
newtgingrich The 'benefits' of slavery....huh?
newtgingrich Sorry newt, the truth hurts. Our ancestors died, many violently, as they provided free labor for your ancestors to get rich. Then after slavery, whtppl devised ways not to share that wealth w/POC and continue even today. Now go tell God that you believe none of it happened.
newtgingrich save this article for when he says it...
Popehat newtgingrich *Golf clap* ... We love you for trying.
newtgingrich Well, who really cares these days of someone 'that once was'; but there again, he is a 'slave' of the untruth-don't tell-misinformation-cant; see the forest for all the trees-not being real-etc., etc.
newtgingrich It's almost as if conservatives want to burn all history books that mention slavery. How very fascist of them! newtgingrich 1619Project
newtgingrich Still True Fox News: George Soros wrote it! ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN: JoeBiden is fine. That's not dementia it's indigestion! He's the frontrunner, he'll always be the frontrunner! (pause) And nytimes printed a black story MSNBC The Russians wrote it prints the truth
newtgingrich I’ve got a story for you. It’s about a fire brigade that’s cut the number of fires to zero by refusing to acknowledge their existence.
jessesingal newtgingrich This isn't satire, as the Democrats were against abolition not Republicans? 🧐
newtgingrich LOL!!! 😂
WhitfordBradley newtgingrich Shameless Abolitionist Propaganda = History
newtgingrich oh god, it's happened. the crossover. the question 'is that an onion article?' no longer means anything.
SkinnerPm newtgingrich Satire is saying something untrue that is truer than anything that the person being satirized has ever said in their lives. By that standard, this is some damned fine satire.
pdacosta newtgingrich The Onion could start reporting the real news, and we would never know.
newtgingrich The singularity!
Cancun771 newtgingrich I thought NewtGingrich left planet earth & was living on the moon or mars? I guess they didn’t want him either & sent him back to make our lives miserable again!
pdacosta newtgingrich Wow, you folks *really* had me that time!
pdacosta newtgingrich It's being secretly funded by the suffragettes
SethMacFarlane newtgingrich After seeing TheFamily, I can safely say you're a hypocrite who has tried to drive wedges and discord among Americans. You believe you're Chosen but in reality you became an advocate for the devil.
newtgingrich But why, though?
newtgingrich I feel for you. Parody is so difficult these days. That’s pretty much what he said
GreatDismal newtgingrich The best kind of satire is JUST true enough that you have to double check...
SethMacFarlane newtgingrich Newt, you really need to up your game on basic education. Take a college freshman level community college or lifelong learning course. You’re woefully not up to date with the scholarship. Then again you’re 78 and on your way out, so you’re irrelevant. Good riddance with you.
newtgingrich omfg
GreatDismal newtgingrich Newt who ?
TL81 newtgingrich had he read the essays, he'd feel differently.
newtgingrich Newt calls abolitionists shameful, so then are we to assume that racists and wannabe slavers are honorable & dignified?
emilynussbaum There was a Twitter Moment created about this NYT series and Twitter curated/promoted one of this individual's bananas tweets into the moment. To my understanding Twitter hires editorial staff, and it's not the first time I've seen weird tweets included that should not be there.
jhamby newtgingrich You almost got me. Has anyone asked what Newt's position is on ending slavery?
newtgingrich Hater Newt!
arothmanhistory newtgingrich Honestly, y'all have to stop scaring me.
newtgingrich This feels more like real news than a joke
newtgingrich 'The Onion' shamelessly falls in line with Leftist Central Command's 'Republicans are racist' propaganda directive, drops failed 'collusion delusion' propaganda overnight.
Glenn__Kenny newtgingrich holy fuck
newtgingrich The Onion is a national treasure.
newtgingrich It's hard to take seriously someone named after a small amphibian.
newtgingrich If he can be a professor, think what Really smart people could do...
newtgingrich I can no longer tell if the Onion is spoofing or has crossed over to serious journalism.
carlquintanilla newtgingrich snopes
newtgingrich *Chef’s kiss*
newtgingrich I had to read this twice to get the joke. Only an onion skin away from the actual headline.
newtgingrich STOPPPP ITTTTT!!! I can’t tell any more what’s real and what’s Onion!
newtgingrich hmm. So now talking about slavery is propaganda..🧐..Wow.. Newtgingrich GOP WhiteSupremacistInChief
newtgingrich Trump and The Mooch are in a Twitter feud.
newtgingrich Hey guys Trump wants to literally buy Greenland. Would make a great The Onion piece.
newtgingrich Lame.
newtgingrich 🖕
newtgingrich Hahahaha funny
newtgingrich Stop tweeting the truth The Onion, you're supposed to be a parody site.
.NewtGingrich: 'What we’re seeing is the tragic decline of 'The New York Times' into a propaganda paper that’s clearly operating in the pocket of pro-abolitionist causes.”
Popehat newtgingrich Wish this were a joke. It’s not
KevinMKruse newtgingrich 'Gingrich added that missteps like this are why these days he gets the majority of his news from outlets like the Atlanta Southern Confederacy.'--- 😂dead
newtgingrich SO HE STILL SUPPORTS SLAVERY? NOT A SURPRISE.
newtgingrich
newtgingrich Spot on
newtgingrich
newtgingrich Suck the big one has been
SethMacFarlane newtgingrich 😂😂😂 I don’t know what’s better, the article or the fact they added Newt to the tweet 😁
KevinMKruse newtgingrich You know it's bad when you see an Onion article and know it COULD very well be true 🙄
KevinMKruse newtgingrich You know that 'you pay for your racism with gridlock' piece hit him hard.
newtgingrich Newt is a sexual tyrannosaurus. Don't me
KevinMKruse newtgingrich
KevinMKruse newtgingrich Someone left the crypt door open again.
newtgingrich Newt is the person most directly responsible for the division and hatred which exists in today's political climate. He is the father of dysfunction in Congress. The world will be a better place when he's gone.
KevinMKruse newtgingrich Just reporting the news straight now, huh?
KevinMKruse newtgingrich For the briefest moment I couldn’t help but think this was actual news. Damn is that line extra thin today.
KevinMKruse newtgingrich omg, this is the saddest truth, its unfortunately not funny.
KevinMKruse newtgingrich The problem is, is that this to real. I read it the title and thought, “I believe it”.
newtgingrich KevinMKruse
SethMacFarlane newtgingrich I guess he's admitting, he's the mouthpiece of the antiabolitionists.
newtgingrich This almost is not satire. The Onion and reality are closer than ever.
newtgingrich We asked for satire, not outdated headlines smh
SethMacFarlane newtgingrich Ah, the alternate universe. Where no history is safe. We need the superheroes from that show legends of tomorrow to fix this.
SethMacFarlane newtgingrich It's scary because it's true
SethMacFarlane newtgingrich Can some organization please do a poll on who actually listens to or believes in Newt?
newtgingrich So, basically you just cut and paste the headlines from newspapers now.🤦🏽♀️
I mean, that's more like the actual headline and not the joke headline.
newtgingrich Newt Claims His Family Never Owned Slaves Back Then. They Simply Had a Verbal Contract With Illegal Aliens Who Happened To Drift In from Africa.
SethMacFarlane newtgingrich The Onion is moving more and more into actual reporting.
