Transcript of Newt’s strong words:

"I believe that when a US Senator compares the USA to Nazi Germany, Stalin’s Soviet Union, and Pol Pot’s Cambodia, and then suggesting that Americans in uniform are the equivalent of the Gestapo or the KGB or the murderers in Cambodia.That is an action that is so reprehensible and so destructive to the US that it requires a very serious response. Not a political response, not the usual rhetoric, but a very serious susceptive response. My position is, unless Sen. Durbin comes to the Senate floor and apologizes to the men and women in uniform who he has defamed, apologizes to the US senate to which he has smeared, and apologizes to the people of the US who he has on a worldwide basis weakened by giving our enemies this kind of language to use because they can now quote the second leading Democrat in the US, saying that the US and the number two Democrat in the US Senate comparing Nazi Germany, Stalin’s Soviet Union, and Pulpot’s Cambodia .. I can’t tell you how deeply I feel about this."
