"And I think when you watch Biden and you watch Harris the question is, which is the more incompetent? I mean, Harris in Poland was an utter, total embarrassment. And every American had to feel something was wrong there," Gingrich told host Laura Ingraham. "And of course, Biden, I think, is totally out of touch with reality."

Harris was blasted for seemingly laughing during a Warsaw, Poland, press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda after being asked about the fate of Ukrainian refugees. Harris was tasked with tightening ties on a trip to Poland amid the disagreements of supplying fighter jets to help Ukraine fight the Russian assault.
Harris was also accused of being unprepared for her performance at the presser.
"We all watched the television coverage of just yesterday. That's on top of everything else that we know and don't know yet," she said. "Based on what we've just been able to see and because we've seen it or not, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. But just limited to what we have seen."

"The problem for the Left is simple. It's failing," Gingrich said. "It's failing in Ukraine. It's failing with inflation, it's failing with open borders, it's failing with levels of crime ... People look at [increasing violent crimes] and they say, 'This isn't working.' Then they go to buy gasoline. That's not working."
