Political correctness Quote by Newt Gingrich

““Certainly, it is important to be polite, and nobody should think that using racial or ethnic slurs is acceptable. But political correctness has morphed from a desire to avoid needlessly offending people to a tool of the Left to marginalize and vilify reasonable Americans who disagree with the elite liberal agenda.””
