Former Speaker Gingrich's tweet in its entirety reads as follows.
The news media and the “expert” analysts and commentators are making fools of themselves over the Trump-Putin meeting. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had it just right when he said the press literally had no idea what was said in the meetings. President Trump is a great negotiator and Alaska was just the opening act in a multi act play. Patience and calm would be a wise approach for the time being.
That sounds similar to the very same sentiment that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) has expressed.
