OUCH! Newt Gingrich takes debate over whether John Brennan should have lost clearance a BIG step further

Former CIA Director John Brennan has been making the media rounds to criticize President Trump, especially since being stripped of his security clearance recently. Brennan has laughably claimed that he’s totally non-partisan and should not have lost his clearance. However, Newt Gingrich followed up all that by saying Brennan shouldn’t have lost his security clearance — because he never should have had one in the first place:

Let's be clear, John Brennan is totally political. He lied to the American people about what happened in Benghazi, and he should've never been CIA director. https://t.co/VjfxmY0DHf pic.twitter.com/xnWB3Se8hT

A couple days ago Chuck Schumer said that Brennan losing his security clearance is “exactly what goes on in dictatorships,” but we think maybe Chuckie exaggerated yet again.
