"Go get a job right after you take a bath," Newt Gingrich told the audience at the "Thanksgiving Family Forum," when asked about activists protesting over the last two months in major US cities including New York and Washington.
The forum, organized by a number of right-wing Christian organizations, was attended by candidates Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Ron Paul, Herman Cain and Rick Santorum. Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman, both Mormons and more moderate candidates, did not attend.
The protesters seek an overhaul to what they see as major socioeconomic inequalities fostered by mainstream US politics and systems of finance.
Another frontrunner in the race, former pizza boss Herman Cain, slammed the OWS movement by claiming that "freedom without responsibility is immoral."
