Americans are under threat from a “secular, socialist” left wing that rules the White House, and they must fight back, former House Speaker
Newt Gingrich said in a speech Monday, according to
The Hill.

Gingrich framed his argument in religious terms. The Constitution "means the power comes from God to each one of you personally," he said. "That is the fundamental division between most Americans and the secular, socialist people around Obama and the degree to which they do not understand America, cannot possibly represent America and cannot lead us to a successful future."
Gingrich, a likely presidential candidate next year, said it’s going to take a united Republican effort to win. "We're all going to have to be on the same team after this [presidential primary campaign] is over. It's going to take all of us to defeat the left."
