Speaker Newt Gingrich's Statement on Shepard Murder
(Washington, DC) – House Speaker Newt Gingrich today released the
following statement on the vicious beating of a college student in Wyoming:
"The brutality and casual callousness of this beating is horrifying.
No person should ever have to suffer such inhuman savagery. It demeans and
depersonalizes – destroying the very soul that makes each human being
precious in the eyes of God throughout their lives.
"We must ensure that those who are responsible for this despicable
attack are held accountable. This attack is not only an affront to the
very principles that we as a nation hold dear, but it also reminds all of
us that we are indeed our brother's keeper. As such, we must be ever vigilant against
violence of any kind."
