Summary
Newt Gingrich blasted a Julia Roberts-led ad encouraging women to vote privately, calling it a sign of the sick values he attributes to Democrats. In a heated exchange with Sean Hannity, he accused the party of promoting dishonesty and moral decay in America, suggesting this reflects a broader erosion of societal integrity. 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.
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 roomIn 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.
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.
I never actually saw the ad, but something about the way the dude said “Did you make the right choice?” made me lol.
So he supports Trump? Well, just wait until we deal with you, Nude.
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?
She’s not a winner, either
The usual line from these assholes goes like “I’m just a flawed human being like everyone else but I’m trying real hard to walk the line”
Shut up you fat ass. Fuck newt.
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.
It’s interesting how different this dynamic is in Australia. Our public broadcaster is doing a mini series on the US election and they have a journalist there at present. In their recent episode they were talking about how people would see them with a mic outside some public or government building, and approach them with the intention of telling them all about their voting preferences and the underlying reasons.
That’s a stark contrast to how things roll in Australia. There are actually very, very few people who I would talk to about voting preferences. For example I talk to two of my sisters in group chat multiple times a day, see them at least weekly, talk to them about health problems, stressful situations, mental health… but I wouldn’t openly ask them who they’re planning to vote for and why.
It’s socially acceptable to talk about current issues in a non-partisan way. So in the lunch room you might say “this new tax thing is fucked” but you wouldn’t say “<political leader’s> new tax policy is fucked”. If it strayed into anything remotely political I’d clam up. I wouldn’t talk politics with work colleagues, I’d sit and judge them silently.
I’m not trying to say our way is better. Maybe it would be better if people talked about things more.
In very specific industries it might be different. I think it certainly was historically. My grandfather was quite vocal in his support for our Labor party (on the left) because of their support for unions. In his workplace people would have overtly supported Labor and it would’ve been very difficult to work there if you didn’t. Ironically, he was a bit of an asshole. My grandma was pretty great, she told me after he passed away she didn’t know who to vote for anymore because she always just voted the opposite of him just to cancel out his vote.
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.
The voice to vote is one’s own for Christ sake… It’s a personal choice… No one even blood relatives should decide and force someone to be associated with either red or blue.
Vote as you wish girls… Nobody is stopping… It’s not 18th century that u have to always abide by the thought process of your other half.
thank you I’m glad i finally realized this freedom as a human toilet man
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
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.
Yeah it has been interesting to see their reaction to this ad, it seems to really have struck a chord. Very telling. They are terrified of the idea of an independent woman. It’s so fucking sad and pathetic.
This the guy who cheated while his wife was dying of cancer?
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!
He didn’t get better.
She certainly didn’t…
Dam, that’s thermonuclear
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!!!
“We’re going to throw you and your entire family out of this cult if you don’t obey!”
It’s undemocratic! What is this, some sort of a republic? One founded on freedoms? spits
The king will hear about this…
Imagine if the older politicians of both sides of politics retired on time.
need to make sure their grandchildren get great jobs at the FAANG corporations while insider trading their way to golden retirement
I’m much more interested in one side of that equation than the other but yes, that’s a beautiful dream.
I share your view so I agree with the sentiment but I think the facts say otherwise, unfortunately.
Both sides are contributing to the gerontocracy and the problems associated with it.
- If Ruth Bader Ginsberg had retired during Obama’s term, Trump would have had one less Supreme Court Justice.
- Dianne Feinstein wouldn’t let go while in mental decline.
- Biden is doing the same damn thing as Feinstein but with the freaking presidency. He might’ve been the safe bet to take back the white house in 2020 - but couldn’t the Democrats have coughed up someone who isn’t OLDER than Bill Clinton? That’s fucked up IMO.
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.
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.
Newt Gingrich left his wife who was in the hospital with cancer for the subordinate he was cheating with.
“Moral Decay.” Lol.
