ormer House Speaker Newt Gingrich chided legacy media outlets on Wednesday during an appearance on Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s show for failing to hold President Joe Biden and his family accountable for what appears to be a series of shady foreign business deals.

During the segment, Gingrich also compared Biden to the legendary HBO character gangster Tony Soprano as he wondered how long outlets like The New York Times and Washington Post would cover for the president and his family.

“We’re told this week he got another check from China. Earlier, we were told that he got a $200,000 check from his brother from China,” Gingrich said. “Well, we now have been told that there is some 80,000 plus emails under false names that he used while haven’t there at the national archives.

“I mean, at what point does this become so obviously the most corrupt administration in American history that even his allies at the New York Times and ‘The Washington Post have to finally break down and decide they’re going to start assigning reporters and doing what they should be doing if they were actually really newspapers?” Gingrich queried.

Gingrich added later: “Look, for the average American, there is an easy common sense question. If these guys were named Joe Wilmington, would they have gotten the money out of China? Would they have gotten the money out of Romania? Would they have gotten the money out of Russia? Would they have gotten the money out of Ukraine? Would they have gotten the money outside of Kazakhstan?

“No person in America, except some hard-left dweeb, believes that this money went for any reason except that Joe Biden was a major political force and that he was basically trading on his name and that his family was getting wealthy off of his name,” the former Speaker and Georgia Republican added.

“And that he did things that aren’t — I mean, you know, he now has three times as many emails as Hillary Clinton did? That are from a fake name? I mean, this is an astonishing — in a normal world, the entire apparatus of the Justice Department would be going nuts tearing this apart,” he predicted.

“If his name was Richard Nixon, this would now be a gigantic scandal, and he would be on the edge of impeachment,” he added.

Let’s just be clear. Only the desperation of the establishment to avoid Donald Trump winning is allowing them to prop up what is clearly a corrupt, totally dishonest, and routinely everyday lying family who are closer to the Sopranos than they are to George Washington,” Gingrich added.
