Republicans lose again over Gingrich tax-exempt course deal
Sowell argues Republicans forfeited the political battle by rushing to bury the Gingrich ethics complaints. He contends the tax-exempt foundation financed a university course taught by Gingrich, with Democrats praising parts of it, while the public remains unaware of the other side. He notes misstatements and a $300,000 penalty add to the credibility loss and warn of ongoing Democratic efforts to keep the issue in the news.
