Did this major league Trump supporter really call The Donald an absurd amateur? Or absurdly gifted?

Health and science reporter Rebecca Robbins’ coverage of Newt Gingrich’s speech at the BIO2016 conference in California triggered a small earthquake on Twitter Wednesday.

It looks like Trump’s big victory speech Tuesday night — cautiously delivered via teleprompter — didn’t quite put supporter Gingrich at ease.

“Absurd amateur”? Ouch.

More from Gingrich:

But not everything Gingrich had to say about his chosen candidate was negative. (Think about that for a second.)

Gingrich responded by claiming he’s being misquoted, and he actually called Trump a “gifted amateur,” or at the very least suggested it.

So, Newt didn’t slime Trump just a little bit? Robbins responded by posting the transcript — which has Gingrich saying “absurd amateur,” but in the nicest way possible.

One thing’s certain in politics: regardless of context, a comment like that is going to make the rounds.

Many thought Gingrich had already torpedoed any chance at a VP slot when he took Trump to task on air over his comments about the “Mexican” judge overseeing the Trump University case. But he’s 100 percent behind Trump — we think.
