WASHINGTON — Newt Gingrich is "road kill on the highway of American politics," says a Republican lawmaker who is seeking Gingrich's ouster as House speaker.
"I think he should be replaced as speaker because he is killing us," Rep. Peter T. King of New York wrote in the issue of the conservative Weekly Standard that appeared Monday. King asserted that Gingrich had "a public-approval rating a few points shy of the Ebola virus."
