Here’s what’s worse. Several Gingrich supporters have vigorously defended Newt Gingrich for his first affair, by arguing that he was really a “victim” in his first marriage, because his wife was his former teacher, who therefore took unfair advantage of the younger Newt.
But other so-called “Gingrich supporters” have actually attacked Rick Santorum’s WIFE for shacking up with the liberal pro-abortion doctor they are so willing to believe here. And yet, he was a 60-year-old who delivered her as a baby, and was friends of the family. So you’d think that if poor Newt was a victim, that so was she — and yet they attack her for it, while attacking others for not understanding how Newt was a victim.
And their attack on Karen Santorum, as you pointed out, negates their defense of Newt leaving his first marriage. That's what happens when you pick up liberal hatchet jobs - they often do as much, if not more, damage to your own candidate as well.
