Newt Gingrich actually said...
Governor Romney is not distracted. The Republican Party is not distracted. We believe that this is an American-born job-killing president. Other people may believe that he was born somewhere else and still kills jobs but that's an argument over background. The key fact is for any American who's worried about the economy, Obama is a job-killing president. I'm happy to say I believe he was born in Hawaii, doesn't change the fact he's killing jobs. And therefore, I think that will be the central issue of the campaign.
Context
Gingrich discusses the Republican Party's focus on the economy rather than distractions regarding Obama's birthplace.
