Newt Gingrich today defended the anti-Mitt Romney immigration ad that his campaign pulled after Sen. Marco Rubio criticized it.
But Gingrich defended the ad, saying that Romney's own words prompted it: "When somebody says people are going to, in effect, self deport, remember who we're talking about," Gingrich told reporters. "We're talking about grandfathers and grandmothers who have children and grandchildren. The idea that somebody actually would think about deporting grandfathers and grandmothers, strikes me as fairly inhumane."
But he said the campaign pulled the ad because he has "great respect for Sen Rubio."
