Gingrich staffer resigns over Mormon comment

According to the Des Moines Register, Bergman called Mormonism a ‘cult’ on Wednesday when talking to a focus group. The newspaper attributed the remark to The Iowa Republican, a conservative news website.

“A lot of the evangelicals believe God would give us four more years of Obama just for the opportunity to expose the cult of Mormon,” Bergman reportedly said. “There’s a thousand pastors ready to do that.”
