The Myth:
His first wife when ill decided to divorce him, this has been circulating around the right wing for some time, sniff, poor innocent Newt.
However, the truth is:
Newt Gingrich filed a divorce complaint on July 14, 1980, in Carroll County, saying that "the marriage of the parties is irretrievably (sic) broken."
Jackie Battley Gingrich, the congressman's wife and the mother of Jackie Gingrich Cushman, responded by asking the judge to reject her husband's filing.
Conservative morals
Newt was ethically challenged , no matter how he tries to bend it and blame Nancy Pelosi for his own mess
“It tells you how capriciously political [the House ethics] committee was that she was on it. It tells you how tainted the outcome was that she was on it.”
Oopsey
But Gingrich couldn’t buck two of the allegations: one suggesting he had violated federal tax law and the other saying he attempted to mislead the congressional panel during its investigation.
Steadfast
Well it is a toss up between him and Mitt who can flip-flop the most often
The rise of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) has been powered in part by the idea that he is more steadfast in his convictions than former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who is often accused of flip-flopping.
What's the problem?
One would have thought he is perfectly qualified?
The new not-Romney is a racist conspiracy theorist.
Ha.
