Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to remove the fencing around the U.S. Capitol, calling the security measure an “eyesore” and an “embarrassment for the Unites States around the world.”
“There is no excuse for razor wire to be blocking the American people from our Capitol. It is the People’s House. The fencing is more than an eyesore—it is an insult,” Gingrich wrote in an op-ed published by Fox News, suggesting further that the fence is part of a campaign to vilify conservatives.
