At a Tea Party really in Mount Dora, Fla., he launched his fiercest verbal assault against Mitt Romney to date.

“There is something so grotesquely hypocritical about the Romney campaign,” he said.

Asked by ABC News’ Jonathan Karl whether he was angry, Gingrich said, “I am angry and every American should be angry” about Romney’s attacks.

“The message we should send to Mitt Romney is ‘We aren’t that stupid and you aren’t that clever,’” he said.

Gingrich peppered such comments with lots of talk about Swiss bank accounts — where Romney used to keep some of his money — and the Cayman Islands — where he still does.
