Gingrich Seizes On TV Pledge Omission

The Hill reports:

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said Monday that his message has become "dramatically more relevant" following a controversial move to edit the Pledge of Allegiance during a weekend golf match.

Gingrich said that his ideas -- particularly his new book, "A Nation Like No Other" are more salient following NBC's decision to edit out the words "under God" from a Pledge montage during this weekend's U.S. Open broadcast.

NBC aired the segment during Sunday's broadcast of the Open, one of the sport's four major, yearly matches, and subsequently apologized on-air after a minor outrage erupted online.

"I must say that my book, 'A Nation Like No Other,' becomes dramatically more relevant after NBC’s decision that they will edit out 'Under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance," Gingrich said during an appearance on the conservative Hugh Hewitt radio show.
