Newt: Trump Won't Quit Fighting for Border Security

Democrats may be winning a short-term victory on keeping the government open, but President Donald Trump is "probably trying to get past the Christmas season," and he will keep fighting for border security, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday.

"I have always thought, having been through shutdowns when I was speaker, I don't think shutting the government down on Christmas Eve is a particularly big win for anybody," Gingrich told Fox News' "Fox and Friends."

"It's a pain in the neck for hundreds of thousands of families directly affected by it. I don't think the president has given up."

"He will come back again and again," said Gingrich. "The Democrat party is refusing to protect Americans, and presently, every time somebody who is here illegally kills somebody it is going to show up and the President will say, this is because the Democrats refuse to protect Americans."
