Naw, that was just a rumor. She had cancer or a tumor and they were fighting over divorce but the papers were served months ago, and she wasn't on her deathbed.
But, he divorced her, got married again, cheated on #2 while in the midst of the Clinton scandal (talk about family values!), divorced her, got married a third time, and that's when I quit paying attention to this dude. Dunno if he's on #4 yet or what.
Needless to say, this dude gives relationship advice like a 6 year old gives tips on replacing a timing belt.
Like, if someone's spouse is made to be uncomfortable talking about something sensitive to the point that go all sneaky about it, who they voted for is not the problem at all. These guys can't see the forest for the trees, no wonder they can't just form a solid lasting relationship
Yeah, he just came into the recovery room to make the final negatiations ... you know ... like you do
But she turned him into a newt!
Exactly, he's the perfect one to talk about the moral decay in America and the broader erosion of social integrity: he's leading the charge in both cases!

Yeah! Individual voters casting their vote based on their own judgment and conscience is sick!!!
It's undemocratic! What is this, some sort of a republic? One founded on freedoms? spits
The king will hear about this...
"We're going to throw you and your entire family out of this cult if you don't obey!"

Fwiw, muh boys, you can do the same: doesn't matter how big of nazis your family/coworkers are and that they'd literally want you dead for voting Harris - they don't see your ballot. So vote Harris, then go back to the break room and bitch about her and talk whatever nazi talk you need to to fit in - cuz sure, you tooootaly voted against that conniving evil bitch! ...or at least as far as they're concerned you did: you can let your vote to save the US be a nice little secret. It all gud.
Lied to my dad told him I voted Trump just so he would stop his bullshit rants. But fuck yeah I voted Harris all the way. Fuck Trump and Fuck this guy. Thought he was fucking dead.

Every accusation is an admission.
If the social integrity of Americans (not all, you know which ones) was in good condition, women would not need to hide their vote due to fear of retaliation.
Newt Ginbitch wants women scared and repressed, wants morals to decay, because if not most women would vote to keep their rights.
He accuses the Democrat party of promoting dishonesty? Jesus fucking Christ. This is a guy who pushed the Big Lie that the 2020 Election was stolen. The sheer hypocrisy. Every accusation a confession.
Throughout his congressional campaign in 1974, Gingrich was having an affair with a young volunteer. An aide who worked with Gingrich throughout the 1970s stated that "it was common knowledge that Newt was involved with other women during his marriage to Jackie."
...
In September 1980, according to friends who knew them both, Newt visited Jackie in the hospital the day after she had undergone surgery to treat her uterine cancer; once there, Newt began talking about the terms of their divorce, at which point Jackie threw him out of the room
In 1993, while still married to Marianne, Gingrich began an affair with House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek, more than two decades his junior.[278] Gingrich was having this affair even as he led the impeachment of Bill Clinton for perjury related to Clinton's own extramarital affair.[279][128] Gingrich filed for divorce from Marianne in 1999, a few months after she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

My stepmother was doing her undergrad (and a few years later her law degree) from the University of West Georgia when he was a professor of history there and had started his first congressional campaign. She said literally every woman in school was aware of his affairs with students.
Moral decay in 2024? This is just yet another year of accusations fueled by projection from the right.
Let's not omit that he got fined $300k for ethics violations in 1997 and was found to have accepted 1.7M in bribes (calling them what they are) from Freddie Mac shortly before Freddie wrecked the economy.

He doesn't believe in facts.... He believes in what he feels is right. His own words I fuck u not
Our moral backbone, Newt Gingrich:
She (Marianne Gingrich) said Newt moved for the divorce just months after she had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, with her then-husband present.
"He also was advised by the doctor when I was sitting there that I was not to be under stress. He knew," she said.
Gingrich divorced his first wife, Jackie, as she was being treated for cancer. His relationship with Marianne began while he was still married to Jackie but in divorce proceedings, Marianne said.
All of this was going on in private, while publicly, he was spearheading the vanguard of what has become the modern Christo-fascist movement. "Moral Majority," he called it. While cheating on his terminally ill wife.
Fucking snake.
She's surprised he did the same shit to her. I mean, what else do you expect?

I don’t think a serial cheater and divorcée has any business discussing the appropriate parameters for marriage.
Edit: How old is he? The pic makes him look like a bleached sarcophagus.
- He is a bleached sarcophagus.
Gingrich, who faced his own scandals, cited Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent split from the Democrats as further proof of disillusionment with what he sees as their corrupt influence.
Seriously? He thinks the brain worm guy leaving the Democratic party to side with the Republicans is proof that the Democrats are bad?
yeah the democrats were obviously also supposed to offer him full reign over the CDC, NIS, USDA and all that to lure him in... and because they told him to fuck off, it's clearly them with the character flaw

Newt Gingrich left his wife who was in the hospital with cancer for the subordinate he was cheating with.
“Moral Decay.” Lol.
Wow. Good thing the ad didn't tell them their husbands don't control what they do with their bodies.
Oh wait... their church pastors,.community leaders and republican leaders already did that.
TAX AND AUDIT THE CHURCHES.
I mean, he's right in one way, you certainly ought to be able to talk about who you are voting for without fear. Communication, debate, and choose for yourself. So really the far right are just reaping what they have sown, I don't see how he can blame the ad.
Women should vote this time because they might lose the right to vote next time. I guarantee that if Trump wins but its clear that many women voted against the wishes of their husband some Project 2025 shit heel is going to come up with the idea that men should be able to vote by proxy for their wives so that they don't vote wrong and cancel out their husband's vote.

Man who cheated on his first wife while she had cancer and cheated on his second wife while impeaching Bill Clinton for having an affair, rails against the moral depravity of Democrats who encourage women to vote for whoever they want.

Another one! I like how all these conservatives are coming out of the woodworks showing what they really want is control over others. Fear and intimidation. Obedience. "Family values".
Some women would be harmed by their husbands if discovered voting blue. I think those women feel a ringing in their souls when they watch that ad. Neut is grasping for any spin at all "ghwuaaahhh dishonesty!". If he was aware of the women who'd wear their husbands' reactions on their faces, he'd never admit it. But I guarantee the mere concept of sparking spousal abuse hasn't even occurred to him, that he's not seeing past the "dishonesty" part.
It's like waving salami in your derpy blind dog's face but he bites air 90 degrees in the wrong direction. Shit you'd think his smeller's busted too. How the fuck he manages to use the bathroom without tracking his own shit through the house is a fukkn X-file.

Serial Philanderer Makes "Moral" Judgement . FTFY
Shut up you fat ass. Fuck newt.
Gingrich, who had an affair during his second marriage, then held Democrats responsible for America's moral degeneration.
Decent journalistic integrity to point this out, but really should be in the headline.
Imagine if the older politicians of both sides of politics retired on time.
