Democrats support the indictment of former President Donald Trump whether it has legal standing or not because convicting him is a life-or-death struggle for their political survival, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said.

"I do think it's sort of a parallel to crossing the Rubicon, which was the moment when Roman Law was shattered," Gingrich said on "Life, Liberty & Levin."

"I would say that what happened was that Donald Trump came out of nowhere and is the first person to have the courage and the willpower to take on the entire corrupt, extremist establishment, and they're fighting in the fight of their life — they are faced with extinction."

Gingrich said Trump's threat to the political left and establishment is similar to that of former President Ronald Reagan's place as a threat to the Soviet Union.
