Right to protest.
They had the right to protest peacefully had they been given the chance.
That’s all I’ve ever espoused here.
So you’re lying.

this is why they protest and know they can get away with criminal acts

Role in political polarization

A number of scholars have credited Gingrich with playing a key role in undermining democratic norms in the United States, and hastening political polarization and partisan prejudice.[46][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] According to Harvard University political scientists Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky, Gingrich's speakership had a profound and lasting impact on American politics and health of American democracy. They argue that Gingrich instilled a "combative" approach in the Republican Party, where hateful language and hyper-partisanship became commonplace, and where democratic norms were abandoned. Gingrich frequently questioned the patriotism of Democrats, called them corrupt, compared them to fascists, and accused them of wanting to destroy the United States. Gingrich furthermore oversaw several major government shutdowns, as well as impeached President Clinton in a partisan fashion.[57][58][59][51] University of Maryland political scientist Lilliana Mason uses Gingrich's instructions to Republicans to use words such as “betray, bizarre, decay, destroy, devour, greed, lie, pathetic, radical, selfish, shame, sick, steal, and traitors” about Democrats as an example of a breach in social norms and exacerbation of partisan prejudice.[46] Gingrich is a key figure in the 2017 book The Polarizers by Colgate University political scientist Sam Rosenfeld about the American political system's shift to polarization and gridlock.[48] Rosenfeld describes Gingrich as follows, "For Gingrich, responsible party principles were paramount... From the outset, he viewed the congressional minority party’s role in terms akin to those found in parliamentary systems, prioritizing drawing stark programmatic contrasts over engaging the majority party as junior participants in governance."[48]

According to University of Texas political scientist Sean M. Theriault, Gingrich had a profound influence on other Republican lawmakers, in particular those who served with him in the House, as they adopted his obstructionist tactics.[49] A 2011 study by Theriault and Duke University political scientist David W. Rohde in the Journal of Politics found that "almost the entire growth in Senate party polarization since the early 1970s can be accounted for by Republican senators who previously served in the House after 1978" when Gingrich was first elected to the House.[60]

Gingrich consolidated power in the Speaker's office.[56] Gingrich elevated junior and more ideologically extreme House members to powerful committees, such as the Appropriations Committee, which over time led to the obliteration of internal norms in the committees.[53][61] Term limits were also imposed on committee chairs, which prevented Republican chairs from developing a power base separate from the Republican Party.[61] As a result, the power of Gingrich was strengthened and there were was an increase in conformity among Republican congresspeople

How do you not understand that you are not being asked to prove a negative.

You are being tasked with showing the inaccuracy of the statements in the article.

Here all you have to do is show that Gingrich did not do the things he is said to have done.

For instance:

They argue that Gingrich instilled a "combative" approach in the Republican Party, where hateful language and hyper-partisanship became commonplace, and where democratic norms were abandoned. Gingrich frequently questioned the patriotism of Democrats, called them corrupt, compared them to fascists, and accused them of wanting to destroy the United States.

These are all the things you Republicans say now. The article said this was the political leader who set you on that path.

Show how this is not true.

Gingrich even put out a memo instructing his GOP flock in Congress as to the specific hateful, divisive words they should use. And, like zombies, they all started using them.

That was the beginning of the GOP’s descent into a force of evil.

Another instruction of Newtie the Gingrich - boldly lie and project the hate onto the recipients of the hate.

GOP Dear Leader Trump has turned it into an art form.

Well you would first have to show evidence he molested anyone.

Those are the seeds of the poison that has taken over the right.
Policy protocol and governance have left the GOP and closed the door behind it. It's all about opposing progressives and hating liberals.

My proof is the lack of any evidence that he did. I include the evidence in my accusations. Where is yours ?
