Newt Gingrich attended an Iowa Tea Party Bus Tour stop in Indianola on Saturday morning. About 40 people attended the gathering, where Gingrich was asked a wide array of questions. The thing that was on most peoples mind was the state of his campaign. Others asked questions about energy independence. One attendee even asked Gingrich if the President was a Muslim, a question that the former Speaker answered with ease.
Below are a few videos from the event.
