Newt Gingrich named person who is 'a major cause of the violence we're seeing' in US cities (and then 'things got weird' on Fox News)

Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich was on the cable network today, and he named George Soros as being one of the people funding unrest in American cities. What happened next was unusual:

This is one of the weirdest exchanges I’ve ever seen on TV. @newtgingrich correctly points out that George Soros threw an unprecedented amount of money into DA races all over the country to elect radicals and Fox News basically told him to shut up. WTF? pic.twitter.com/IxwcLG2gOH

That reaction coming from Marie Harf was no surprise, but a couple of the others apparently agreed:

Uh oh is this how we find out George Soros bought Fox News? pic.twitter.com/Nsy7eZCidi

LOL.

Yikes, things got weird after mentioning George Soros https://t.co/OR3cOYuaLY

This is such a weird exchange because it's a fact that Soros has thrown an absurd amount of money into electing far-left DA's all over the country who have implemented soft on crime policies.

@HARRISFAULKNER George Soros and an elite group of billionaires have been trying to take down our economy for years. He’s not welcome in his own country and 4 others for crashing their economies. He worked to get these Leftist DAs to get elected and turn these murderers and thugs
