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.

Gingrich, who cheated on his second wife, then held Democrats responsible for America's moral degeneration. “I mean, what kind of a totally amoral, corrupt, sick system have the Democrats developed? If you think about it at that level, it is astonishing, the decay," he said, before claiming that the "decay" is why Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who reportedly maintained at least three romantic liaisons outside of his marriage with Cheryl Hines, left the Democratic Party and endorsed former President Donald Trump.

Also Gingrich didn’t deliver that on stage anywhere. I’m getting pissed at headline images that intentionally don’t have to do with the quote.

You can take it from Newt Gingrich, who has cheated on two dying wives, an epitome of moral compass that all americans should look towards.

LOL, I love that these fuckers are showing their true colors.

After all the bullshit talk about "TRUE conservatism" and how donnie is not "really" Republicanism.....lol, no, donnie is the party and donnie is the party. It's all one big pile of grievance politics and about keeping special privileges for xtian white cishet right wing males.

Meanwhile, I saw Megyn Kelly on Maher and her justification for voting for donnie involves two specters, it seems - the fear of 20 million "illegals" and "what THEY are doing to the kids in the name of trans".

Seriously, WTAF. The bullshit whipped over illegals is way out of proportion and how is something like trans a concern for the PRESIDENT to handle, anyway?

Crazy I was about to say the same thing!

Hugely influential in turning the GOP from "Side of politics we can debate and respectfully disagree with" to "Completely unhinged violent movement based on panic, hatred, and intellectual brain rot."

He's basically described like some bygone disaster and yet he's still kickin'. Holy crap.

There's a cozy spot in whatever hell right next to Kissinger for this vile beast. Another spot beside it waiting to be filled is likely labeled "Murdoch."
