Former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich admitted on Fox News’ “Hannity” that maybe Sotomayor herself isn’t a racist. Still, he insisted, her statements are.
“In my newsletter I went a step too far in saying that she is a racist because I don’t know her and there’s no evidence [of racism] in her court decisions,” Gingrich told Sean Hannity. Nevertheless, he said, “it’s clear that her quote is clearly racist,” referring to the infamous “wise Latina woman” line. “It’s also clear … when you look at her writing and her speeches, she is quite radical. When you look at her judgments on the court bench, she’s not nearly as radical in her judgments. People have to ask themselves, as a Supreme Court Justice, would she be the radical we’re seeing, or would she be much more cautious?”
I think that was supposed to be the softer side of Newt.

Newt isn't exactly helping the opposition. It's better to point out that she's deeply steeped in far-left concepts like aff. action, EthnicNationalism, and so on.
And, it would be helpful to point out that for six years she was a member of a group that gave their “Hero” award to someone who'd proposed genocide.
I'm sure this site would mention that, if not for the Soros[TM]-brand shock collars they wear.
