Yup. According to Wikipedia:

According to L. H. Carter, Gingrich's campaign treasurer, Gingrich said of Jackie: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer."[269][270] Newt has denied saying it.[266]

That was his first wife he cheated on. But his second wife got the same treatment:

Gingrich filed for divorce from Marianne in 1999, a few months after she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.[280]

He met his current wife because she was a House staffer, and carried on another affair while impeaching Bill Clinton over... well. you know. That marriage has lasted 20+ years.

Isn't it always the case that the most vocal people about moral issues are also the ones with the longest "Personal Life" section on Wikipedia?

As a man that stuck with a partner after they got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Fuck newt gingrich

Thats a name I could do without hearing ever again. One of the main proponents of the "my way or go fuck yourself" politics that we are now stuck with...

Yup, I had to laugh when a lot of future magabrainz, but who called themselves teabaggers at the time, were telling each other and anyone else that would listen that Obama was so "divisive". What they really meant was that Obama was a nKLANGer, as well as being uppity, oops, I mean, "arrogant", as they would update it.

Meanwhile, for anyone that cared to look would easily know that the two people most responsible for any division in the country were Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. Newt actually had classes on sowing division.

AT LEAST. He may have already cheated on his third wife and it simply hasn't been made public.

Thanks Newt, please do spread the message that women don’t need to vote like their husbands

I'm with y'all, I'm more disappointed that he's still stealing oxygen. At least Rush and Kissinger had the decency to finally kick it before fascism became so goddamn close to reality

I'm pooping right now, and straining. So I misread the headline as

Gingrich, who has cheated on all 66 of his wives, rails against Harris ad telling woman to ‘lie’ to husband

10

He went on to say that the modern Democratic party lacks the qualities of presidents it once housed, including former President Kennedy.

Speaking of infidelity…

Relatively high percentage of those wives he cheated on were dying of cancer at the time as well, yes?

Coincidence? Or is the guy radioactive and toxic to be around?

Maybe weak Republican men who control their wives lives SHOULD have their wives taking control of something that is their own. Like their bodies. Or their right to vote.

7

It's just crazy to me that he found at least 3 women interested in having sex with him. He has the sexual energy of a rotten pumpkin. Just completely unfuckable (but apparently not?)

Weird that this is the counter-narrative out there instead of pointing out that the shitstains are fine with terrorizing their wives so that they’d NEED to lie

Telling people to lie is a really bad look. Doesn't matter where you are on the political spectrum.

Perhaps you could say that if you arbitrarily remove any nuance or qualifications at all from the statement.

A reasonable person would see a message advising women to hide who they vote for from their signficant others and question why they (Harris's advisors) thought the message would land. And what that says about the people those women are married to.

It's weird to point out that the man will a history of lying to multiple wives about their relationship is being hypocritical towards an ad telling vulnerable women to lie so they can exercise their rights?

No. That's fucked up, of course. But I wouldn't usually represent that number with a percent. I would just say, "2 out of his 3 wives" or something like that. That's all.

I know this is a tense political season, but there's no reason to jump down my throat. I'm with y'all.

Sorry for taking a dig at you like that. You're right, the tension had me jumping to conclusions about what you meant, and it wasn't deserved.
