Democracy Now!:

Watch the video above to see Amy Goodman question Gingrich about the GOP’s "war on women" and why he hadn’t apologized for calling First Lady Hillary Clinton a "bitch" — first in 1995 during his tenure as speaker of the House and again at the 2000 Republican Convention in Philadelphia.
